Development News!
There’s not too much TGR information for this anchor. I’ve talked a lot the past few, but this time i’m in the mood to get it done with. Is that a good mindset? Probably not, but i’m not exactly legendary in terms of having a great attitude towards anything…
Let’s begin 
!
Last anchor, we left off in the midst of the near completion of Whirlpools. That’s the main thing this anchor will be looking over 
.
First of all, whirlpools can now despawn and have their own animation for doing so. We don’t want whirlpools to stay forever. That would definitely cause issues.
But now we need their functionality. Here’s a screenshot showcasing v1.7.13…
A lot to read here 
! As you can see, your ship is definitely not safe from these oceanic anomalies.
When you first touch a whirlpool, your boat becomes uncontrollable and the process begins 
…
Whirlpools will slowly drag your boat towards the bottom center. Larger whirlpools are much stronger, and will drag boats faster, making them more dangerous (Along with their larger size). Steering your ship away from the whirlpool will reduce the speed your boat gets dragged in by 33%.
When your ship is being sucked into a whirlpool, it will take damage over time, the damage getting more intense as you get closer to the middle. When you get to the middle the damage becomes extreme.
This damage is also affected by some other factors. The larger the whirlpool, the more the damage. The stability of your ship also lowers the damage it will take from a whirlpool. This means that bigger, more stable ships take longer to be destroyed.
However, not all hope is lost. Though it seems like whirlpools are inescapable and overpowered, every second you’re in a whirlpool, a dice is rolled for your freedom 
. For the best chance at this. Things that increase this chance are…
- Being further away from the center of the whirlpool
- Having a good stability stat
- Small whirlpool size
- Being sucked in against the wind
Consider these factors when you, too, become the victim of a watery vortex 
…
Let’s say your boat got quickly destroyed, and now YOU’RE in the whirlpool. This, um, is a quite disadvantageous position for you, obviously.
Whirlpools will also drag in players and NPCs, making them even scarier. However, you too have a chance to escape .
When you’re being sucked in, an “ESCAPE” button will appear on your screen. If you want to escape, you need to click this as fast as possible 
.
However, not only mashing is involved. You have a better chance of escaping if you have a better strength stat, making berserkers and strength builds better whirlpool escapers 
. You also have a better chance if you’re in a weaker and smaller whirlpool.
These are the big things about whirlpools! There’s also 2 hints about them 
, and a new death message.
And three new game stats as well, these being Whirlpools Escaped, Deaths by Whirlpool, and Whirlpool Escape Percentage, for flexing your “whirlpool escapee” savvy!
A few fixes 
…
And whirlpools are done 
! Look at this glorious “Finished” tag 
!
And that’s also another task on “To-Do” done!
For the first time in months, we see another thing crossed off! Let’s look at the (Inaccurate 
) completion percentage of the game!
Wait… NOOOOOOO-
Topic You Should See!
“Forum does AI dungeon”
By @GlitchingEclipse
Finally, we stumble across another entertaining off-topic adventure! This time, the forum will be (unfortunately 
) guiding an oblivious protagonist through the events of an AI Dungeon website. What will he uncover? From obtaining several weapons, to unspeakable actions, there’s a lot to see !

Art of the Anchor!
“Inktober day 1 : Crystal”
By @rouver2345
Finally, October begins. Not only do we have Halloween, Minecon, and the last Smash reveal to look forward to, it’s Inktober, which means the artists will be spitting art at the speed of sound 
. This Day 1 art depicts Rebecca Fritz with her purple Crystal Magic. It’s again in their unique art style. Great job!

Writing of the Anchor!
“The Story of Valcrest | Part Two - Chapter Eight”
By @JayJayAG
With new writers, the frequency of writing is increasing a bit. But of course, we’ll always return to long running series, such as the newest installment (As of writing this) in the Story of Valcrest. This one is fast paced, mysterious, and packed with action you won’t want to miss! I can tell that a lot of effort went into this, much more than the amount I would ever put into anything…
Here’s a Puzzle For You…
Last anchor’s riddle solver was @StraightInTheEyes! Congratulations for being the first to crack it!
