Screenshot Saturday: 0.3.7 Preview #19!


Good morning!

This update cycle has gone on for a bit longer than I'd expected, but I'm continuing to make headway on the Challenge Tower update; all of Aeternator's attacks are programmed  in, and once I figure out the rotations, his boss fight will be pretty easy to make.

I've also been thinking about the enemies in the Hard Mode Tower, including the eight Tower Lords; two returning ones and six new ones. Here's one of those new ones now:

Meet the M.A.S.S. (Mobile Amphibious Submarine Surveyor). As this Golem's name implies, he's big, clocking in at 1750 HP and 30 Defense before any Tower Lord boosts, with a respectable 24 pre-boost Attack to go with it. Despite being a hulking metal walker, this Golem is actually something of a naturalist, preferring the study of marine life to combat. If he's picked up an axe and gone to the Challenge Tower to train, something might have him concerned...

Of the new Tower Lords, M.A.S.S. probably has the most straightforward fighting style planned; he'll usually raise his fast block, hit hard with his axe, and if the debuffs or buffs on either side get to be too much, he'll remove them with Steam Clean, a Golem precept developed relatively recently to deal with magical pollutants.

Steam Ouchy! Well, at least making it happen will use up some of his time?

Well, that Whirlpool near the Frozen Reach has gone unexplored... Might be important later.
