- Playing Herezh : Combat System - 18 March 2022
Hello ! I'm Valentin “Elice”, developer for Herezh Today I'm here to speak with you about a topic that most of you are waiting for the Combat system ! You, as a player, will be facing three types of encounters. - Basic mobs, like goblins or zombies, not very harmful if you get ready - World bosses, like giants or dragons (no, sorry I'm not gonna tease any new boss we have created). Each of them have their own behavior and multiple ways to take them down. - Other players, we already said that they will be open PvP in the game. Now that you know what you will be facing, let’s talk about your tools! We have three "combat styles" each with their own feeling and path to mastery. First are melee weapons, inspired by souls games and influenced by some beat them all games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. You, as a fighter, will have to observe how your opponent behaves and finely time your atta…
- Exploring Herezh : Mountains - 17 March 2022
Hey everyone ! Today, a new biome introduction, this time the mountains. Clement, our 3D artist, prepared some cool visuals to illustrate this environment for you. Here are previews of how it will looks with different levels of blizzard. Of course, this biome will be among the hardest to explore, especially when the weather is not favorable. Like in the foreshore, it will be a great spot to find ruins from lost civilizations and treasures like runes hidden there You could think that there won't be a lot of life and ressources available in this biome but you will be able to meet animals like wolves, bears or deers and more dangerous monsters like wendigos, elementals and even wyverns. Miners will find resources like iron or gold in those cold harsh lands. Thanks again for reading us, we hope that you enjoy those news posts ! Briac, Community Manager
- Playing Herezh : The topic of gender in Character Creation - 14 March 2022
Hello ! Hi ! I’m Emma, concept artist for Herezh. Today we wanted to talk about character creation, gender, and what choices will be available to you as a player. In Herezh, we want you to have as many options as possible while creating your character. Hair, markings, tattoos, and much more can be fine-tuned to offer you control over how you look. Apart from the more obvious ones, there’s also something else that we feel is important to have the option over. In Herezh, you will also be able to mix and match your preferred : • Masculine / Feminine Body appearance • Masculine / Feminine Face appearance • Masculine/ Feminine Posture (Think animations !) As well as : • Beards ! Does your character have one ? (Regardless of gender.) • How you wish to be referred as, Hero ? (Pronouns) Finally, there’s an option that will have an impact on your gameplay, and that is whether : • Your character…
- Playing Herezh: crafting - 11 March 2022
Hi guys ^^ Today we will talk crafting in Herezh which is a very important subject for me as I love crafting in RPGs and Survival games ;) Crafting in Herezh comes in 8 flavours: Fabrication, Enchantment, Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, Cooking, Taming, Farming and Fishing each with it's own set of rules and gameplay. Fabrication: By using Fabrication a player can create items, from weapons and armors to buildings parts. The Fabrication skill of a character increases the durability, damage or armor of the item produced. Enchantment: By using Enchantment a player can add a magical effect into a piece of equipment. The higher the Enchantment skill of the character the more powerful the effect will be. Thaumaturgy: By using Thaumaturgy a player can create a spell using Aether and Runes. Each spell is made up of 5 Runes types: Target, Duration, Range, Effect, Clan. By learning powerful Runes then usi…
- Playing Herezh: generational gameplay - 11 March 2022
Hi guys, It's François again ^^ This time I want to talk about our dash of rogue-lite in Herezh: the generational gameplay. In Herezh your character will have a set lifespan (like in The Sims for example) and once their time is up they will die and you will have to choose one of their offspring to keep playing. In addition your character can retire at any moment to leave the quest to a younger generation and become an NPC. This will have a lot of benefits for your character: They will choose a guardian ancestor that will boost their starting skills They will retain part of their level but will get a great experience cost reduction to level-up They will gain special abilities based of who their parents were With this system each generation will be stronger than the previous one leading to greater heroes and even more legendary deeds. To get an offspring you will have to find a partner, t…
- Exploring Herezh: the foreshore - 10 March 2022
Hey everyone ! Let's introduce you to the foreshore biome today. We don't have quality in-game visuals for the moment so we will use concept arts from our concept artist Zadjo ! Our goal is to create a foreshore biome in Herezh clearely inspired by the coasts of Britanny in France, among the most beautiful places of the country and where we are currently developing the game. To reproduce our wonderful britannic foreshores, we will to reproduce their impressive tides that drastically change the environment every day. It won't be just beautiful landscapes with sea, sand and massive rocks. We also want places to explore and old-world artefacts eroded time. Here are first examples Finally, a wonderful wildlife will also be present in this biome, in the sea as on the coast. Some may seems cute and colorful but be careful, it's just an appearance... Others like the Giant Lobster are really no…
- Playing Herezh: clans - 9 March 2022
Hi guys :) My name is François, I am the lead designer for Herezh and today i decided to talk to you about one of the features i am most excited about: the clans! Clans in Herezh are groups of player and non-player characters that creates a settlement together a bit like guilds in mmorpg. Players can have various ranks like Penn, Drouiz, Haroz or Marc'heg giving them different rights in the clan. The Penn is the leader of the clan, making most of the decisions and giving out the ranks, he can also start polls to know what the rest of the clan think about very important decisions. The Drouiz decides which god the clan is following and is the keeper of it's blessing (more about the pantheon and blessings in a future post) . A Haroz can give orders to NPCs and take them to battle. Finally a Marc'heg is a member with no special right. NPCs don't have special rights but will be fighting, col…
- Exploring Herezh: the forest - 7 March 2022
Hey guys! Starting today, we want to present you the beautiful biomes of Herezh. We aim for realistic graphics but fantasy feel for our environments, immersion and wonder first and foremost! Here is a first visual below, to showcase what we want to achieve with the game. The forest is one of the most welcoming biomes to explore in the game, a place where you can find rich fauna & flora. But be warned, there are still threats even in such a peaceful and enchanting place. Here for example the giants and goblin, that you saw fighting in the trailer. To make the forest as immersive as possible we want a good diversity of trees to populate our landscape. You will be able to walk across maples, oaks & pines. Some assets from our 3D artist Clément: Each biome in Herezh has a very special location unique on the map called a Wonder, a place of power and lore where artefacts and bosses can be fou…
