Fireheart - Devlog #4 - Companions and Rarity

Hello everyone!

I am glad to have you here and take your time to read my devlog for Fireheart.

This devlog will be longer and probably far more interesting than my other logs.

If you have any questions or have any interest in my game after this then feel free to check out the links at the end!







The topics today are companions and rarity.

I will try to talk briefly about things like the rarity in my game, the Companions affected by it and the level system for my companions.





That's what your party will probably look like.





So let is talk about rarity.

Rarity in my game affects at the moment things like Weapons, Tools and Companions. The higher rarity the better (most of the time) the stats.

Like in most games rarity is indicated by different colors and well the rarity of items.





This is a Common soldier you can hire.

Common Companions are everywhere. They are not fairly strong but they server their purpose. They also are pretty affordable. So if a Companion should die, you could hire a new one to fight by your side (They are glad to adventure with you :) ).





This is an Epic Companion you can hire.



As you can see Epic Companions are far stronger but cost a lot more to hire. I am thinking of them hireable after the player has completed some tasks but I am unsure right now. Stats are not representative of the final product so that can change aswell.



NPC's can also level up!

That is right, they level with you on your adventures. Every rarity tier has a level cap.

For example a Common Companion is able to level up until Level 5 while a Rare Companion can level up until Level 15.

With every level their stats slightly improve. So if you take care, a Common Companion you have adventured for a while, will be stronger than an Uncommon Companion you just have hired.









When you open your menu you will see the stats of your Companions.





Everything you see here is not representative of the final product and can change throught development! :)
