Hello everyone, I'm Bob, the community manager of Emprom Game. This post was supposed to be published in August, but I messed up so many times the first time recording a video with our chief designer. Sorry for the delay. Today, I'm here to introduce our new game, Bioweaver. It will be released on Steam in October this year. You may watch the following video to get the news or you can read the whole post to get the information. The content is similar. [previewyoutube=E1vrMH9O0-E;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] [h2]Game Loop Changes[/h2] Bioweaver focuses on treasure hunting and character building. To better fit this core, we have developed a new method to select game levels. The game is made up of five acts, each of which contains multiple levels. The resources and organs that can be collected in these levels will be different, so you may find desired organs by targeting specific levels.

The difficulty of the levels and the rarity of the drops can be adjusted, and you can also activate auto-level scaling to adapt the difficulty and loot quantity to your current progress. If you were a fan of the endless mode, you may enjoy the ultimate test after finishing the main acts which is full of danger and opportunity. [h2]Organ Mutation System[/h2] Organ mutation is a featured system in Bioweaver. Each organ can have four mutation affixes, which give the organ unprecedented abilities. For example, an affix could force a horn to cast extra lightning strikes in sequence. In other words, all lightnings are possible to strike on target.

Using a Potion will cost the Organ 1 durability point. If the Organ has no durability, it can no longer be modified. We have designed dozens of different affixes for each Organ. Use your creativity and you will surely be able to create some unexpected combinations. [h2]Replica Organs[/h2] In addition to organ affixes, we have also designed a series of replica organs with unique functions. For example, a replica Belly of the Crocodile does not deal damage over time anymore, but instead activates the parallel organs at the target location every 0.5 seconds.

No matter how we mutate the organs, these special affixes will not be affected. This rule makes replica organs extremely easy to craft. However, if you're looking for a max roll replica organ, you'll need to invest more time in target farming. [h2]Gene System[/h2] In Bioweaver, we’re able to build characters' passive skills by configuring genes. Each gene, depending on its power, consumes 1-3 slots. As the game progresses, the slots can be expanded. There are many combinations of genes waiting for you to explore.

This time, we have prepared five well-designed five bosses with extremely powerful skill sets. To fight them, you need a certain amount of skill and technique. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//45006508/7cefc8537366dffcaa12f1ca47c0e77770dc03a6.png[/img] Our design goal is to make every boss fight a little bit different. Each boss has its own unique Organ, which provides extremely powerful functions, but is also more difficult to obtain. As the game progresses, you are able to unlock additional hidden skill sets for bosses, which will also greatly increase their loot value. [h2]QoL Improvements[/h2] While developing a large amount of new content, we have also made many quality-of-life improvements to the game. In Organ editing, we can easily filter organs. At the same time, if you are satisfied with a set of builds, you can save it and share the code with your friends. We provide an in-game build-viewer to help you.
