Total Game Revamp Details

[Noobzin_2000]

You go on your time Vetex, always loved your games
I’m hyped for the revamp, but don’t forget your health care please .w.

[Void]

This is very pog and has motivated me to script again… thank you.

[Vetex]

I don’t see a reason for horses, no islands will be as big as the current WOM map otherwise it just presents the same issues that the current game has

[archrono]

I’m sad about the continent being removed but YOO THIS REVAMP IS GONNA BE SO INCREDIBLY POGGERS

[I_like_what_i_like]

Its sad to see some of these features go but i guess its for the best, we should remember the past, enjoy the present, and look forward to the future!
Just hope we can keep the flight spell, was really looking forward to that one,surely you can just very heavily nerf it or something

[Danny_Zou]

I hope that islands will vary greatly in size. An example is my map which you can find if you dig in my activity tab.
@quest5 also made some great maps.
We’re kinda hoping for big almost continent sized islands, as well as smaller islands. I really hope a lot of effort is put into making islands realistic in terms of size, geographic positions, and terrain, so as to make it look cool. A common trope I see is islands revolving around something, that is, this island is volcanic, this island is desert, the island next to it is jungle. I don’t really like this, I think that islands should be positioned to maximize geographic sense. This also enables positioning of different civilizations, similar ones living in similar areas.

[Fenn_Shadow]

I agree but no sharks they are a war flashback of a great magnitude for me of AA.

[Emperor]

Is there even a new concept to the new map of sorts? that’s the biggest question that’s lingering in my mind right now!! And Mobile Compatibility?! God Damn this game is going to the next level!!

[gabnys]

I’m hyped for the update, but worried about the outcome, will people abandon it just like AA? How will vetex’s mental health be? A consistent update every 2 weeks is kinda overkill unless he has some assistant programmers or something, but I really respect your hard work and ethic. These are one of the reasons you’re people’s last hope for well-made games on roblox.

[LordOfTheBloxxed]

Hate to break it to ya but Vetex already stated before that it would be very unlikely for him to switch to something like Steam where he would have to learn how to code in a completely new language, have to get used to a new engine (unreal, unity, or another engine) and learn how to use it properly, and much more. Although Roblox can be bad in many aspects, it is easier to work with for him and it gets plenty of new players easily.

[IdealUsername]

Thank you.

[Inferno]

idk i find sharks funny

[Void]

As long as we support him through the journey, i’m sure nothing but light will be at the end of the tunnel

[Ashdeathdoom]

I feel like the NPC changes is good for competitive grind gameplay, however, it would greatly kill the living and breathing aspect of WoM, a game can have good gameplay but the world also should be interactive, the NPCs being static reminds me of Skyrim children. Lots of the massive open-world games use interactive NPCs that can be killed to introduce a more moral, and living feel to the game plus a consequence, I feel that NPCs like shop keeps could be killed but increase the punishment with the magic council, or add in killability maybe once people can join the government.

[MrCHibr]

Are you sure your excited for it, you’ll have to make a video on the whole thing lmao

[Djorange]

hooray! (even the heroes hate the magic council)

[Aegis_IV]

yeah i’m not a fan too, a bit cheesy

[fish]

LMAOOOO GO BACK TO THE SHOWER AND RETHINK OML IM LAUGHING RN.

@Vetex

Changing the map to islands will make expanding the map easier, improve the sense of exploration, add much more variety in areas, and also allow me to add things such as NPC ships, ghost ships, whirlpools, and more. This also solves a lot of the issues mentioned above, because

Pretty lit imo, also, hopefully you can get rid of the instant death at the bottom of ocean floor thing.

@Vetex

I also plan on making a Ship section of the inventory that allows you to equip different things to your boat. My goal is to make the ship system be similar to Arcane’s, but with added features, improvements, and details.

Poggers, can’t wait to see what it was like for the Arcane players.

@Vetex

Flight Spells will be removed,

I think keeping flight spells should help, if the islands are going to be larger. It’ll help travel over land quickly and all. But shouldn’t be enough to traverse the oceans as well as a boat/ship.

@Vetex

The game will take place about a month after the Peacekeeper defeated Durza on the other side of the world, right as Chaos was ravaging the Seven Seas.

interesting, so there’s gonna be pools of malovent magic, beasts etc. Maybe occasional magical shockwaves? eh we’ll see what you do.

@Vetex

Due to these changes, the existing storylines will be completely removed, along with the Exiled and Minotaur bosses. I’m not really sure what will happen to their item drops at the moment, but IF they are deleted, players will receive the compensation of equal if not greater value as they deserve for adapting to these sudden changes. I can’t really give up much more info on the new story without spoiling it, so this is all I will reveal about it at the moment.

Probably should give lots of crowns or maybe give the boss weapons for new storyline or cool, rare items etc.

@Vetex

This is an issue that will be fixed. The new game will be somewhat storyline focused like Arcane Adventures was, and players will spawn on islands relative to their place in the story, rather than spawning in random towns and wandering around from there. My goal of this game’s story is to be at the same grand scale that AA’s was, but even better and more grand.

Dunno how AA’s storyline works. But if it works a bit like GTA V where you complete the story and are free to do whatever you want that’s probably cool. Hopefully it retains the new open world thing.

@Vetex

Starting when this update releases, players will choose a first AND last name when creating their character, and all cultural items will be removed. If you have a character already, you will get to reselect a new last name when you join on that file in this update. (Existing last names will PROBABLY be in the list as well)

Option to choose same name…for those who just don’t want to switch names.

@Vetex

An alternative to cultural weapons will also be added, which are island-specific weapons. Each island you visit with civilization on it will have their own set of armors and weapons that you can buy.

Essentially culture weapons but everyone can use 'em. Pretty cool, maybe each has special abilities that are valuable in their own way which maybe entices players to travel and explore.

@Vetex

ll NPCs besides enemies will now be stationary models that can’t be killed.

No offense but I personally don’t approve of this. It’d get rid of the open world interactive aspect of the game. Obviously shopkeepers probably shouldn’t be able to be killed. In order to solve the sleeping patterns thing, you’d have the ability to wake them up when clicking on them.

@Vetex

It will be sad to see this feature go since its a staple of World of Magic, however, if it means that overall gameplay and performance is improved, it’s for the best, and I hope you understand.

I understand, hopefully we can compromise a bit of RNG with Certainty

@Vetex

Hostile NPCs will now also only spawn in pre-set locations, but there will also probably be a random “event” system where groups of NPCs can appear on islands.

cool idea, have different enemies spawn in certain places but with different behaviours. If preset locations means like they spawn in a single place and the spot doesn’t change, it’d ruin the open world thing…it could spawn in a medium sized area where you’re guaranteed to find an NPC. Or just keep it single-minded for better grinding.

@Vetex

As part of this update, side quests be manually added , meaning each one will be unique. Some of these will probably be repeatable daily, but overall, the main form of leveling up will be defeating enemies and advancing in the storyline from now on. Some of these side quests will also give unique rewards and items to incentivize doing them.

This is gonna be pretty cool. It’d also boost the events that you’re doing. Like special Halloween quests with orange question marks.

@Vetex

Other

Other smaller features that will be added this update, to name a few:

• Huge performance increase due to the changes listed above
• Sharks that attack players and smaller boats
• Whirlpools
• Complete UI revamp
• Revamped lighting and skies
• Temperature, since island biome variation will be heavy
• Mobile compatibility (This one may surprise a lot of people since in the past, I said I was really against mobile due to how cluttered it would make the screen. I’ve since thought more on it and realized “this isn’t a real reason, just an excuse not to do it”, and mobile players SHOULD be allowed to play the game still. Even if their combat will be a bit janky and hard to do, it will be nice to get on mobile and fish or collect a few chests)
• The addition of the first Lost Spell Scrolls, which are rarely obtained items that allow you to unlock a new spell type for the magic it is assigned to.
• +MUCH more which will be added to the Trello over the next few days. (Trello link: https://trello.com/b/Mv99bZYP/world-of-magic )

All of this stuff is absolutely lit

@Vetex

After the Total Game Revamp update releases, I’m going to start a new update schedule where I will update the game every 2 weeks, consistently.

Please don’t tire yourself out and good luck.

@Vetex

Since the foundations of the game such as levels, magic, etc. are staying the same, there is no reason for me to delete everyone’s data.

Thank you very much sir

@Vetex

This update is going to be a complete change to the game, so naturally it will take a few months. Until then, I’m glad that I was able to fix the memory leaks in the current game and make it a bit more bearable to play. Even if the current game completely dies out before TGR is completed, I will still work tirelessly on it until it can eventually be released. The goal of this update is to bring the old players and fans back, while appealing to new players, current players, and also giving them a new adventure in the same universe.

So, allow me to welcome you to Arcane Odyssey, the TRUE sequel to Arcane Adventures

Good luck sir. Name change too…I’ll get used to it, I’m sure many other people love it

[G0d_z]

I mean world of magic was a cringy name too be honest lol
