Public Release: Beta 1.3: Mechanic, Dreamer, and Humans

Human Enemies

Since the beginning, Ero Dungeons has had some human enemies. These showcase some of the cursed classes you will eventually encounter, and some equipment setups for them. Now I've added a bunch more. Not only is there now the bunny class, but also elite variants of the originals, and some new ones. Humans are now also their own encounter type, and have elite+ encounters. Below is a list of all human enemies.

The Mechanic

The mechanic dungeon consists of multiple floors which must be completed by interacting with one of four curios. You have the choice between a PERMANENT artificial enhancement, or have a fight where one of your adventurers start grappled. It mostly serves as a way to let players enjoy all the new machine content - and primarily the grapples - in a conveniently placed location.

The Dreaming Adventurer

The dreamer boss dungeon is the second to last dungeon in the game order. It is rather long, but the one way gates aren't reset when leaving, so you can complete it in multiple trips. If you played Darkest Dungeon 2, the boss is pretty much the Dreaming General (but hot). There's also some chasm fights, where you and the enemy are only able to field 2 or 3 adventurers at the same time.

Supporter Only: Bimbo Dungeon (Errant Signal)

Dungeon Layout: Below you can see the new boss dungeon. I've updated the tooling for creating custom dungeons, so it's relatively large since it's now easier to create large dungeons. Though, don't let the size fool you, it isn't as long as the Dreamer dungeon by far, it just has many optional paths (such as the entire ruins section).

Teleportation: Within the dungeon, there are some enemies that have a chance to teleport you party to a different spot on the map (from the top floor to the bottom floor). They first need to charge up, but they are high priority targets nonetheless.

Bimbo Beams! Throughout the map, there are mysterious pink beams. They give your adventurers tokens that make them susceptible to bimbo beams. These allow enemies to target them and give them bimbo quirks slowly rendering your adventurer useless. Fortunately, there are certain visors throughout the map that prevent the effects of these beams. They have other drawbacks though, if your adventurers even want to gather them.

Next:

Steam stuff: Two weeks ago, I submitted Ero Dungeons for a Steam store review. On the one hand, it's only a store review, so didn't require a game build or trailer. On the other hand it requires a bunch of capsules in different sizes, and a very large amount of other technical stuff (like minimum requirements). Last week I received a message that the store review failed, firstly due to the capsule (same one as here on Itch) being too lewd, but more importantly, they want to have a game build first for adult games to check whether the content is allowed. So last week I had to create a trailer (needed for submitting a game build) and get the game working on Steam. So I'm still waiting for that. I was hoping to start pushing you to wishlist the game this release, but alas, it will be for the next one.

Remaining dungeons: 

With two more boss dungeons crossed off, it's time to tackle the last two. I first need to tie up some loose ends with the Errant Signal though where I haven't added new Ratkin enemies yet (since they weren't needed for the dungeon). Furthermore, I'm also changing the Cockatrice dungeon, it doesn't feel like a good game ending dungeon. I'd prefer it to be a semi-victory-lap with a more thematic boss for the corruption you're fighting.
