Hey, everyone! I’m Kitten, a designer in the Ashfall dev team. I can’t wait to tell you more about what we’ve been working on! Let’s have a look, shall we?
Today, I’m going to talk about some high-end craftables in our Life Skills. Oh yes, Life Skills. In Ashfall, players can gather all sorts of materials out there in the wasteland and go to the Nüwa crafting stations scattered throughout towns to craft items. Aside from the bare necessities like food, medicine, and ammo, we’re also designing some “high-end” craftables for the game’s later stages. These items will more than make up for their high cost once on the battlefield. That, and they’ll really look the part as far as wasteland luxury is concerned.
After tacking down the larger design concepts, I got some inspiration from some real-world and awesome entertainment sources. Then, I did some brainstorming with our team and collaborated with the devs and artists (they deserve lots of credit!) to draft some initial designs in the game! Allow me to show you.
Guard Drone: Locates and attacks a long-range target with a laser for sustained DMG. (I’m still considering some upgrades, like launching missiles or electric shocks... )
Auto Sentry: Provides continuous Fire Support within range, can be deployed on any surface.
Emergency Aid Device: Continuously restores HP to allies within range.
These are just the tip of the iceberg as far as high-end craftables are concerned. We’ll be rolling out more cool, high-class, and powerful versions down the line as soon as we’re able. What about you? Leave a comment and tell me what you’d want to craft. A bomber? A flamethrower? Let your imagination run wild! I’d love to hear what you think and look forward to your suggestions. Until next time!
