Dear Community,
It’s time for another update on our development progress with Rune Hero: Monthly Update. This series of articles will be released at the end of each month (or early the following month) to report on the development progress of the past month, providing you with insights into the latest developments of Rune Hero. Let’s dive in.
Lobby
Similar to many competitive games, Rune Hero features a lobby where players can rest, learn, and communicate. From here, you’ll access dungeons or find a team. This feature is still under development, and its appearance may differ from the final version.
Equipment System
Equipment plays a crucial role in character development in Rune Hero. Over the past few months, we’ve completed some functionalities of the equipment system, including equipment attributes, quality, drops, enhancement, and evolvement. Let’s go through them one by one.
Quality and Attributes
Equipment comes in various qualities: Common (white), Exquisite (green), Rare (blue), Epic (purple), and Legendary (orange). Higher-quality equipment is harder to obtain but offers better attributes.
Each piece of equipment contains one base attribute and x special attributes. The base attribute of the same equipment is consistent (with random values), while the special attributes are generated randomly.
The higher the quality of the equipment, the more special attributes it possesses, as follows:
Quality | Number of special attributes |
Common | No speical attributes |
Exquisite | One special attributes |
Rare | Two special attributes |
Epic | Three special attributes |
Legendary | Four special attributes |
Legendary equipment will not be released early on but will be introduced as a very special system. Obtaining a set of excellent Epic equipment is a long-term goal for every hero in the game.
Equipment Drops
Equipment drops randomly generate quality and, based on quality, random attributes. Therefore, obtaining high-quality equipment with rare attributes is not an easy task.
Equipment Enhancement
As the game progresses, players will acquire more and more equipment. By absorbing unwanted equipment, players can enhance the equipment’s level. Enhancement increases the base attribute values of equipment.
Equipment Evolvement
Evolvement involves using specified materials to reforge equipment, increasing its star level. After evolvement, all special attribute values of the equipment will increase.
Creation of Reks
As the second hero in Rune Hero, we have high hopes for Reks. He is positioned as a high-burst melee physical character with less mobility, making him somewhat vulnerable to long-range and high-control characters. Over the past month, we’ve designed and completed the modeling of Reks, and he should be available as a playable character in the near future.
Localization System
As a game aimed at global players, localization is crucial. We’ve developed the localization system and have fully supported English and Chinese. We’ll listen to the community’s voice and support more languages at the appropriate time.
Rune Hero aims to be a web3 gaming experience with rich gameplay and a robust economic system for players worldwide. Thank you for your attention and support over the past month. See you next month.
Warm regards,
Rune Hero Team
