Possibly a New tech demonstration

So earlier today Tiy tweeted this picture:



Apparently we can equip about 4 of these bad boys, and can only be equipped/unequipped onboard our ships.

It is still uncertain whether the character activated the tech by swinging that axe; though it is in my uneducated opinion that the scenario I described is unlikely.

Gotta go fast.



EDIT: It is currently unsure if Dashes uses energy. I'd say it's likely, but I'm not developing the game. Thanks to Serenity for this magnificent idea. If only Tiy could show us the energy meter when dashing.

 

Oooooo.... :catface2:

I'm assuming that's a 'dash' tech of some sort?

 

Most likely. It also quite nicely demonstrated the smoothness of the stairs mechanic in-game.

 

Wonder if it's a basic dash or if it hits enemies and gives immunity when using the dash.

 

Welp, giving two ability at once might (I don't know this for sure) unbalance the game. There might be a another rune that deals certain damage back to the enemy, like the retribution rune in Rougue Legacy, but if you can dash everywhere without taking too much damage.... well, wait. I suppose this is possible, if each dash uses energy. Gotta add that to the OP. Thanks brother!

 

No problem I find the techs interesting. I agree energy use could be a good enough balance.

 

Wow. I hope you can find it quickly/easily, because that looks both fun and useful. It's one of those I'd probably have on my character at all times, heh.

 

I'd prefer double jump myself, but yes, this tech is a lot better than hereme's boots, though techs might need energy to use, so you MIGHT not be able to dash everywhere.

 

this brings up the idea of fusing techs. Kind of how you could put 2 hook-shots together in zelda, and mash two accessories together in terraria.

 

Tech fusion system.

 

I hope the fusion process isn't THAT easy; you might need to venture deep into a dungeon and defeat its master in order to access a workbench that fuses things. That'll be nice.

 

hoping for energy shield (one that does damage) + Dash tech fusion.
Go around as an electric ball, zapping everything in reach.

I hope the fusion system, if it exists, isn't too restrictive. I'd like to fuse almost anything, even if it hinders me.

 

It looks like the tech is activated by quickly tapping the left and right movement keys. You can see for a split second that he stops moving before dashing forward. Sorta like sprinting in minecraft.

 

I reread Tiy's post.
I don't think techs have to be reloaded from ships, i think they reload by themselves if they have a reload.
I think tiy was saying you can only equip/ un-equip techs on your ship.

 

Oh, right, that's what I meant, but I think I worded it wrong. I'll fix that right away!

 

Yep. I believe that's been mentioned somewhere before, as well.

 

Probably, I'm a year behind on everything.

 

I'm starting to hope the enemies can keep up! XP

 

First thing that came to mind when seeing this was Castlevania ... tough it should have probably been Megaman now that I think of it.
Anyway, dashing like that is one of my favorite move in most game. I like going fast.

 

I love the stair tech here... one of terrarias negatives i think.. and the ability to run up a hill without jumping twenty million times will be awesome!
