Dev Blog #7: Magic in Empire of Ember

Good day Lightbringers!

Welcome back to another episode of the weekly dev blog, where we share more news on the development of Empire of Ember with you. This time we would like to talk about the magic system in the game.

Magic is an essential part of Empire of Ember. The game takes place in a fantasy universe where magical shards rained down from the sky, granting their use to certain individuals called Lightbringers. Being one such Lightbringer yourself, magic is an innate ability in you. Use it to rule your kingdom and all those who defy your authority.

A Lightbringer is not exactly a wizard, as wizards are typically portrayed as fragile but powerful individuals that require a lot of preparation. Most spells in Empire of Ember better fit the role of a battlemage, a character class that uses both magic and weapons to fight. However, the system is flexible and the player does have the option to invest their skills and attributes in a way that allows such specific playstyles to exist if they wish it.

Dev Blog #8 - Destructible physics in Empire of Ember

In this week’s Dev Blog we bring you more information about the destructible physics in the game

Greetings Lightbringers!

It is Tuesday again, and also time for a new dev blog of Empire of Ember. This week we want to share with you some of the secrets behind one of the coolest features in the game: the destructible physics.

As you know, Empire of Ember allows you to build your own fully destructible city. All cities in the game -including yours- are fully physically modelled, with each brick having its own structural integrity and joint strength, and can come under attack or be attacked by the player and allies under your command.

The destructible physics allow players to plan strategies that use elements of the environment in their favour. For example, catapults can knock out the base of a tower or a wall, which will topple over and crush any units below. Also, the player can blow a hole in the enemies’ wall, leading their army through the breach.

Besides, you can also destroy all kinds of objects. This adds exploration and looting elements to the game, since destroying items drops resources you can use in your own city.

Empire of Ember intends to stay in Steam early access until the summer, with developer Poleaxe Games utilizing community and player feedback to further hone the game before its full launch later in 2021.”We can complete all current features in about three months with an additional three months of balancing and testing. However, it’s important to us to hear from the community and incorporate that feedback into the game. We’d rather take extra time to make sure the whole experience is as fun as possible. Community feedback will help us determine what to prioritize.” Said Kevin Jenkins, CEO of Poleaxe Games.
