Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since our last update, and we've been hard at work polishing the game to ensure it meets the high standards you expect. Let's dive right into the exciting developments we've made!
Core Game Flow Enhancements
First and foremost, while all the Focuses remain intact and function as they always have, we've made some significant modifications to the core moves. After extensive playtesting, we've decided to align our design more closely with traditional Powered by the Apocalypse systems. Each Focus now has three Core Moves, each with clear directions on how to use them to interact with the game world. Here’s a sneak peek at these new Moves:
Anima
- Get the Hang of It
- Find a Way Around It
- Study the Matter
Ego
- Make an Excuse
- Make a Friend
- Act Cool
Heart
- Help a Buddy Out
- Power Through
- Lay It Out. Hard!
Each Move also has its own Impossible Outcome, which players can unlock by spending Momentum after a successful Move. These outcomes will create near-magical effects that bend the rules of reality, adding dramatic moments to your story.
Additionally, we’ve introduced Keymaster Moves to assist both new and experienced game masters in running smoother, more dynamic game sessions. These moves offer guidance on creating dramatic consequences for failed rolls and keeping the narrative flowing seamlessly.
Introducing Progress Clocks
Borrowed from Apocalypse World, Progress Clocks are now a key feature for tracking progress in tasks and counting down imminent threats. For those unfamiliar, Progress Clocks involve drawing a circle and dividing it into smaller sections. As progress is made, you fill in sections of the clock. Once the clock is full, something significant happens. This mechanic is a perfect fit for Dream City Knights and will now be a staple for tracking progress.
Waking, Dreaming, and Locations
We’ve streamlined the gameplay to make the distinct parts of the game more intuitive:
-
Waking is now divided into four distinct times of day: Early Morning, Noon, Afternoon, and Evening. Each location in town will be accessible to the Bunch during specific hours. However, if a character wants to visit a location outside of these hours, they can still do so at the risk of being Grounded or getting into Trouble.
-
Dreaming constantly pressures each character, forcing them to accumulate Stress while traveling between Districts. Every District is technically always accessible if the Bunch can find a way to visit, but each comes with its own dangers and level of the Tower’s Influence.
Looking Ahead
As you can see, development is progressing steadily. We’re on track to finalize every detail by the end of September, with the layout expected to be completed by the end of November.
In future updates, we'll share more details about character creation, character advancement, and Tags & Conditions, so stay tuned!
Until next time,
Edge of Mythos
