GAME JAM IV
Is it really the end of 2023 already? Where’d summer go?
Now that we’re entering the last quarter of the year, we’re gearing up for another Game Jam! From October 2nd through to October 12th, the team will be working together on their passion projects!
Accordingly, there will be no update on Wednesday, October 11th.
Previous Game Jams have led to projects like Perilous Moons, the Blood Torva visual update, LMS Game Modes, Forestry and the Path of Glouphrie – so we’re as excited as you are to see what fantastic ideas the J-Mods come up with this time.
Not every Game Jam project makes it to the game, and sometimes, they look very different from how they started. For example, the Tasakaal Trials, originally pitched as a Kourend update, have transformed into the Fortis Colosseum minigame, which you’ll get to try when the first part of Varlamore releases next year.
We’ll be showing off our projects on an upcoming livestream, with another catch-up in November’s Gazette. Keep an eye on the #OSRSGameJam hashtag to see all the previews throughout the jam!
World 45 and PvP Changes
We’re taking learnings from Deadman: Apocalypse and applying them to the Permanent Deadman World!
This week’s first update is all about experience. Firstly, XP gained from quests and rewards now scales in line with your time played and your skill level, like the rest of the experience in Deadman mode. For clarification, with Protection (the first 12 hours), experience gained is 20x at level 1 through to 10x at level 50+. With No Protection, experience gained is 10x at level 1 through to 5x at level 50+.
Next up, you will no longer lose experience when dying on the Permanent Deadman world. You’ll still have to say goodbye to the 10 most valuable items in your Bank and everything currently on your person, but at least you won’t have to earn your levels back! If you previously insured experience with Gelin, you may speak to her for a refund once today’s update goes live.
Across all worlds, we’ve also added some more items to Perdu's Lost Property Shop:
Book of the Dead - 9,500 Coins
Ivandis Flail - 30,000 Coins
Ava's Devices - 7,000 Coins each (Ava's Attractor, Ava's Accumulator, Ava's Assembler) Please note you will need a Vorkath Head to repurchase Ava's Assembler.
Chronicle - 500 Coins
Additionally, the above items and the following can now be purchased in bulk from Perdu:
Lunar Ring
Beacon Ring
God Books (Holy Book, Unholy Book, Book of Balance, Book of War, Book of Law, Book of Darkness)
Finally, we’ve seen your comments about alternate accounts gaining advantages in Bounty Hunter. As of today’s update, players who are already in combat will have a 1-second PJ timer against special attacks, giving them time to react accordingly.
Other Changes
Players in Guardians of the Rift may now get Mining experience from 250 Fragments per game. After this point, any fragments gathered give no experience.
You can now click through the transparent parts of the Skill Guide.
The Desert Treasure II bosses now drop clues for longer durations, as is common in instanced areas.
