Baron here, and the Sentara Update is officially upon us! Update 1.2 is now live, and it wraps up everything we’ve been previewing over the last couple of news posts into one big Byeth release. This marks the 2nd of 4 free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps. Of course I say that was the goal, but then as usual the update spiraled into a bunch of unplanned scope creep... ːamadeus_happyː But luckily things didn't get so out of hand that the ThunderRoad framework exploded, so it's all good, lol. Now, let's get into it! ##### Welcome to Sentara Sentara is a small maritime nation west of Eraden, known for its sailors, traders, pirates, and general seafaring shenanigans. We tried to incorporate those themes throughout this update, with the weapons, armour, maps, and even how water behaves. ##### New Sentari Weapons The staple of every Byeth update: a full batch of new themed weapons. Sentara is loosely based on the aesthetics of Mediterranean maritime nations, so we took inspirations from pirates, sailors, and privateers. The full weapon list includes a classic cutlass, stiletto dagger, a boarding axe, a harpoon, a dueling sword, and quite a lengthy sabre. But of course… it wouldn’t be a pirate update without something extra. ##### Sentari Firearm We did it boyz; guns in Blade & Sorcery. But... not gunpowder. Rather than opening the can of worms that comes with real life musket simulation and long, complex reload procedures, we went with a lore-friendly, crystal-based firearm. It works by imbuing a base crystal with an element, then striking crystals together to unleash powerful effects. Different imbues have different unique effects. A fire imbued firearm can set enemies ablaze and create zones of fire. I love all the imbues, but this one really rocks because it feels totally gnarly to shoot. A gravity imbued firearm does exactly what you probably expect, and hits enemies like a truck, blasting them and all surrounding objects in the cone of fire away. If you catch an enemy with enough force, you may also blow off a limb! The lightning imbued firearm is the most insane of the three, in that it flat out gibbs enemies on impact, lol. Quad damage time! Also, to preemptively answer a question I know folks will have - if you are wondering if the imbue retains when you holster the weapon - yes it does! You can keep multiple firearms charged and holstered, ready to fire just like real life pirates did. This is likely the point at which you may be thinking, "But Baron, these look wildly overpowered??" The rule of cool was very much in effect here, as is often the case with Blade & Sorcery design. The Sentari firearm was designed to be flashy, powerful, but most importantly, fun. Lyneca worked on this firearm, and he and I are very much each others enablers when it comes to circumventing game balance for the sake of cool, lol. However, jokes aside, I think you will find it is not as overpowered as you might expect. A good balance was struck between having a musket experience that was something between a real life 20 second reload simulator, and a magic boomstick. Feedback received was that the imbue reload on the firearm was just right for Blade & Sorcery gameplay. ## Sentari Concoctions The bottles that some of you guys pointed out from previous news were not health potions; they were a whole big scope creep. Sentara introduces three new concoctions, designed to be playful, situational, and occasionally chaotic, just like the Sentari themselves. ##### Feather Draught Temporarily makes you weightless, letting you “swim” through the air. Just remember, when it ends, gravity comes back. I guarantee there will be community posts about people falling to their death from this lol. ##### Burning Draught Causes the drinker to belch flames and briefly glow, which can be useful as a byproduct to temporarily illum _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/629730/view/528746250052307367]_
