Blood Magic: Alchemical Wizardry – Developer Commentary #3

Hello world wave time here bringing to you another episode of blood magic developer commentary i believe this is number three if i’m incorrect on that well that’s not like you can do anything about it so whatever so what we’re going to discuss today is a few of the

Well core mechanic changes that have happened to the mod and it has been pushed in the latest version version 0.2.2 c i had to do a few bug fixes such as removing a nasty line of code from the la uh sorry the water sigil and

Well this is going to be more of uh almost like a psa saying how to pronounce some of the content for the mods and also some of the new mechanic changes that have been experienced and if you are confused about some of the stuff you might as

Well just check about well some of the stuff so as you may know every single item is bound to the player so as you can see on the void sigil for instance the current owner is player 109 and as you can tell by my

Happy haha i am player 109 did i say 129 earlier i have no clue anyways so that actually touches on one of the things the correct pronunciation or pronunciation i don’t know it’s very pronounced for sigil i was actually kind of surprised that the mis pronunciation of all of the of the word

It’s actually i’ve heard people pronounce it sigil and i kind of understand why they pronounce it like that but if you are confused the correct pronunciation is sigil so if you’re confused and you’re some sort of person who sweats the details about that it is

Sigil it’s a j like j like not a get out of fray jail free card it’s a j anyways i probably harped on about that a bit more too much but oh well so let’s actually uh set the time set der time set zero and then let’s talk about the other thing that

People may be confused about the upgrade runes when you have the upgraded altar it’s not actually the corners that you have to change and it’s not around the structure so you can’t just put the upgrade runes over there it’s actually at the edge pieces of the structure so

You can’t put them in the corners that won’t work you have to put it at the edges or else it well won’t work and there’s another thing and that is the life essence network which i entitled the soul network so the blood alter actually has an internal storage that is not connected

To your soul network at all at all so if you have an apprentice blood orb it won’t actually connect the amount won’t be connected to this altar there are a few reasons for this i’m not going to really discuss them in this episode for it but this contains or can contain up to

10 000 lp life points so it can store a great deal and the main reason that i have it like that is so that you can have some sort of bank that you can have for later just shove in your apprentice blood orb and it’ll just charge up your network and you can

Just leave it for later and you don’t have to worry about it here’s the jewel anyways there was another change to mechanics and that is with the divination sigil it’s very easy to create pretty much it’s like a water sigil but instead of water buckets it is

Glass and what it does is because i had to completely rework the essence system you right click and then you get the current essence so if we throw this in it can continue working you can right click and get and gauge your current essence while you are away from any sort of

Thing so you don’t have to open up your inventory and check the tool tip for the blood orbs and it’s an early game item such an early game item that you don’t really need to worry about the cost and also it’s not like if you’re in a pitch

Battle and you have this on your hotbar you’re not going to want to go in and just go oh no what is it do i have enough for the super awesome ritual of death and destruction probably not because that’s going to cost a lot but you can just do right

Click and then get the essence and i think that’s all for this update let’s see we got almost 6 000 what i’m going to do is show you a little sneak peek about what i’m thinking will be the next upgraded alter now this is not

Set in stone so to speak but i’m mainly okay one moment i am mainly just toying around with ideas of how i want to have the next alters upgraded this i think will be what the tier three alter will look like and one probably going to have it is that you’ll be able

To do all eight stones as upgrades or i might keep it as the first four i’m not too sure and then you’re going to have to well you’re gonna have all of these extra 20 upgrades so you might have to rehash your um upgrades like the speed upgrades i might

Set it as 10 instead but i’m not really entirely sure and yeah this isn’t going to happen i can tell you that right now i don’t think it’s a good idea to have these things as the things you’re going to need for a fourth tier

I’m not even sure if i’m gonna have a fourth tier this is gonna be a lot farther in the mod but do not expect this monstrosity anytime soon though it does kind of look badass i must say it does look badass so with the x 28 you’d have an extra well

28 so that’s what 56 plus the four runes that would be there but yeah not going to happen well that’s all the time you have for this episode of blood magic developer commentary if you like what you see don’t forget to rate comment and subscribe to future episodes next

Episode which i’m probably going to post maybe on saturday or in when i get something well to show for it i’m going to show you the new things that i’m going to make and it’s going to require a new tile entity the only dial entity i have

Right now is this thing and i want to change that wave time here cleaning up all of the world’s messes one lava source block at a time signing off have a wonderful day
