Today, Dawngate updated the game with Patch 33 which adds Practice Mode (bots) to the game and introduces players to the new character, Tess the Sky Captain. A rough and tough pirate with a flying ship, players use Tess and her cannon mounted hoverbike to blast enemies while giving them attitude. For her ultimate attack, call down Tess’s flying pirate ship and drag a gigantic golden anchor across the battlefield, slowing and damaging enemies in its path. Patch 33 also includes the new “Bomber” Tess skin, which reimagines the spunky new Shaper as a World War 2 era fighter pilot. Her trusty hoverbike is restyled into a male-pinup-adorned, shark-faced bomb.
Dan Gibson, Designer at Waystone Games, had this to say about the new Shaper, “Tess combines arguably the most powerful mobility in the game with exceptional ability burst for a ranged Carry. She’s brimming with personality and has one of the most fun kits yet in Dawngate. I think she’s guaranteed to be a new favorite among our players.”
Practice Mode version 1 gives new and experienced players a whole new way to increase their skill in Dawngate. Playing against bots as a single player lets veterans learn intricacies of new characters without distractions, while new players get to build their skill level in an environment that won’t disrupt team play. For new players, Practice Mode focuses on highlighting the unique aspects of Dawngate using tool tips, but the team eventually plans on fleshing Practice Mode so that it can give new MOBA players a full primer on the genre.
To sum up all these new changes, Dave Cerra, Executive Producer at Waystone, posted a great producer letter that includes details about all these new features and more.
