Kemo Coliseum Monthly Progress : October 2013



It's time for Kemo Coliseum October!

Quick summary for people who are new here. We have a Weekly Progress report in the secret lab section of our forum. The monthly reports will be a summary of those weekly reports, excluding the exclusive stuffs.

Game Status


We have released a new demo on our secret lab. The latest demo uses the new battle system & gems with the following changes:

Change Log
  • Upgrade resolution to 1280 x 720 (yay!)
  • Overhaul the battle system. More on this later
  • Improve AI
  • Remove randomly block attack

Battle System
  • Click on the enemy to choose which part to target your attack
  • Sword gem and Thunder gem deal damage
  • Shield gem creates shield that help reduce damage taken
  • Rage gem increase rage meter. Must be erased as a result of other matches
  • Magic gem and Beast gem reduce skill cooldown
  • Leaf gem heal your health

Shield System
- Matching shield gems give you shield counter.
- More shield gems in one match --> Better shield counter ( gold > silver > bronze )
- One shield counter help reduce damage for one whole cascade (not per attack)
- Your shield counters are gone at the beginning of your next turn.

What isn't working right now
- Skills
- Rage
- Magic gem and Beast gem (since skill isn't implemented yet)
- Many battle formulas aren't final

Next month our goal is to implement special attack (Thunder gem) and basic skills.
