- Crown Trick Dev Blog - Dungeon Design - 10 November 2020
When designing dungeons in Crown Trick, we began by considering the overall plot of the game and then narrowed it down to level design, interactive objects, monsters, and bosses. The main story follows Elle’s exploration of the Nightmare Realm in which the dungeons represent emotions — fear, regret, and anger. To escape this closed circle of the nightmare world and save the real world, she must find the mastermind behind the chaos. Each dungeon has its unique style and story behind it, but most importantly there are certain game mechanics and items in each dungeon that we want to discuss in this dev blog. Tower of Sinners In the Tower of Sinners, the atmosphere is constructed upon the emotion of fear. Our main inspiration is drawn from old tales of witch hunts in the middle ages. Therefore, the visual elements of the surroundings, monsters, and objects all correspond with that of a witc…

- October 21th Patch v.1.0.0.9 - 21 October 2020
Nightmare Runners, In the recent discussions from the community, we noticed that a lot of players didn't quite understand how the negative status effects (elemental debuffs) exactly work in Crown Trick. So we think that it's important to explain some of its mechanics in this post. First of all, immunity to elemental debuffs means that the owner is only immune to the negative status effect inflicted by this element, rather than the elemental damage itself. So for example, if you cast a fire skill on a monster that has immunity to fire, then your skill will still be able to deal the fire damage, but the Scorched effect will not be applied. Elements and negative status effects. Fire: Scorch Water: Drench Earth: Greasy Wind: Silence Electricity: Paralyze Ice: Freeze Poison: Poisoned Lava: Explode You can also learn more about the elemental effects in our handy video guide: Because poison el…
