EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

October 12, 2012

This is what happens when you trust executives...or at least allow them to remain on your home planet! The nefarious Chairman Platinum has assembled an army of Corporate Ninjas and freshly recruited Ebil Hazards to take Delta V by force! 

Fortunately for us, the Chairman's enemies are numerous and powerful. One such ally is the newly arrived Kimberly, Space Warrior and professional face-melting guitarist of One-Eyed Doll!

Visit Kimberly in Fortune City, who's happily wading through the Chairman's henchgoons, to receive your assignments.  Delta V has scarcely seen a threat like this and Kimberly knows exactly how to take the Chairman down!

However, before we can take the fight to the Chairman, we need to clear out some of his goons!  Scattered throughout Fortune City and Central Station are EbilCorp minions.  Challenge these minions to fill the War Bar and fire EbilCorp for good!  What is it?  You'll find out after you've expelled EbilCorp from Delta V!  Wouldn't want the Chairman to steal it from you!

Once the bar is full, everyone who participated in the War will receive a rare prize!  Defeating More challenging enemies will award you more points, and give you a better chance of gaining these:

They're barely worth the paper they're printed on, but they ARE printed on very expensive paper.  Sell them back to Delta V merchants for bonus credits!

This is it!  No going back!  Delta V and all of Artix Entertainment is counting on you to defeat EbilCorp!

Cheevo Get!

In lighter news, you can stop by any VendBot to pick up a new, free Achievement! This shiny little badge will show that you were present for this milestone! After the event, it will be gone forever (or until time loops around and we have another 10 year anniversary, but that could be awhile), and those who own it will receive a hefty Rating Point bonus!  Thanks again for letting us make awesome games for you and a pre-emptive thanks for helping us kick the Chairman's butt back into space!

I understand there is also another achievement lurking around.  What is its purpose?  It is a mystery!

New Livestream!

Join us this Sunday at 10AM EDT for a new EpicDuel Artists Livestream!  For those unfamiliar with the streams, we have the Dev team and several mods join us for a live Q and A while Charfade or I draw something.  You can check out some of the previous streams to see what you've been missing and get a feel for what they're like.  If you do join us, please be courteous as we will ban anyone for any misconduct during the stream.  If you miss out, the stream will be recorded for later viewing.

Suggestion Shop?

Disturbed and I are still busy bringing your suggestions to life!  If you haven't posted yet, there's still time to get noticed!  Remember to post your suggestions in the official EpicDuel items suggestion thread!
