I’ve been working on an end-game dungeon called the Cryptic Rift for maybe a month or two. However, I’ve never been able to concentrate on it, so I came up with a solution – making it official in this Forum to give me motivation!
I quickly put together a teaser trailer (no fancy stuff, though).
TRAILER 1:
TRAILER 2:
So did I spend all of my time on trailers and such? Sorta…but not really.
The Cryptic Rift will be a “mega-dungeon” with three parts – the Crypt, the Catacomb, and the Boss Room. It will be around the same difficulty as the Shatters. It will have a “death” and “tomb” theme to it, and will drop rare UT items as well as Life Potions and Mana Potions.
And of course, there WILL be easter eggs.
I made this for some reason (I still need to get the font right XD):
Full Trailer Prophecy:
BEWARE THE CORPSES THAT LIE BENEATH OUR FEET,
DEEP BELOW THE SURFACE
BEWARE THE SANITY THAT THEY EXCRETE,
AND HAUNT WITH VENGEFUL BURDEN
BEWARE THE STAINS OF BLOOD AND STEEL,
THE RISE OF A WICKED SHADOW
BEWARE THE CURSE YOU CANNOT FEEL,
WITHIN THE DREADFUL GROTTO
@Fluffegan If you recall, the first two lines are similar to lore I made for the Azamoth.
Alternative Verses:
Nothing ventures past the darkness of the deep.
Its secrets are beyond the knowledge of Oryx and his minions.
Beyond the knowledge of the Void Entity and the Cult.
But we know that beneath the mysterious force, distant cries wail.
Prophetic whispers grate into our heads.
A prophecy, they chant.
A prophecy of destruction.
They are coming, the voices whisper.
They are coming to bring the Realm to an end.
Nothing will remain.
A new era of power will soon rise, bound to destroy us all.
When they awake and reign conquest, nothing can or will stop them.
Our souls contained, the Nexus ravaged, and the Realm burned.
They are ancient deities of the past.
At full power, they will work together and possess omnipotence.
This power will destroy the multiverse, rip apart time itself.
Life will perish, and Death will prevail.
They must be stopped.
Invincible foes await you, but soon, the most invincible shall fall.
They are most demonic minions of Darkness.
But if they end victorious, minions of Darkness will be the least of our worries.
Only us heroes can stop them before this happens.
We must work together and bring their plans to an end.
Join us if you dare…
Take note that I am NOT planning on this to be a group project, but a solo one. However, ideas are certainly welcome and will be credited for if implemented.
UPDATES
April 25, 2019 – Steady progress is being made! One of the rooms is being finalized with unique gameplay, including mini puzzles to spice up the game! I currently have nearly 30 enemies with sprites, and over 10 more enemy ideas without sprites (I’m working on them!). A whole truckload of UT items are available for me right now, so I am currently deciding which ones to use.
As always, thank you for reading!
