Have you ever wondered how do the DOFUS teams come up with all that stuff, time and time again? How do they design an area? Who invents a life for the NPCs? Who animates them, makes them tick? Does Lichen sleep more than a mere hour each day? Well then, the new DOFUS Backstage show is there to answer all your questions! Maybe not that last one, though...  
All that goes on behind the scenes of the DOFUS game will be revealed: that's the promise of DOFUS Backstage!
For this first show, Julien, director of the DOFUS animation department, starts with a very important element in the creation of any new area: the creation of a "sprite".

Wait... what the hell is that?
It's an animated character in your game! It can be an adventurer, an NPC, a monster, or even a Boss. And since we're mentioning it, let's take a look at one: we'll unveil for you the design process of one of the new Bosses you'll be able to meet in the upcoming underwater DOFUS expansion : the Sufokian Abyss!

If you are a fan of H. P. Lovecraft and H. R. Giger, you are going to love this video!
And if you don't know about them yet, we can but invite you to check out their work...

 

 


Watch the video, share it, but most importantly, please do not hesitate to tell us what you thought about it on the forums!
We already have other DOFUS Backstage episodes in the works...

Background: The Sufokian Abyss 2/3

Last time… Viktoria Punkhurst, President of the Sea Council, showed incredible bravery. The young woman ventured into the strange submarine which emerged from the depths of Sufokia Bay a short time ago. Having stayed on dry land with his friend Giles Vern, Ferdi McGellan was worried sick… 
   

"It's terrible! Just terrible! Giles, we must help her!"
"Calm down, my dear McGellan. You're going to make me deaf…"
"What!? But Giles, you don't seem to realize how serious the situation is! Who knows what's inside that iron monster, waiting for Viktoria!?"
"I do."
"What do you mean?"
"Errr… I think it's time I told you a bit more about this submarine. The situation's nowhere near as bad as you think…"

Ferdi McGellan was all ears, with his mouth wide open. Just for a moment, Giles thought to himself that Ferdi looked a bit like an Ediem Carp.

"Look, I know exactly what's on board the submarine. I'm not the kind of guy to mistake a man like that, and a man, he definitely is!"

Ferdi McGellan's look now made Giles think of a Raul Mops. In any case, there was a glint of intelligence in his eyes.

"I'm not quite sure what you're trying to tell me, Giles…"
"Our visitors have come a long way to reach our shores. And rest assured, they come in peace. I dare hope that this first contact will go well…"
"But… what's on board, Giles? Stop being so mysterious!"
"The Foggernaut King, my friend. And if everything goes as planned, he hasn't come alone."
"Look!"

Ferdi McGellan pointed towards one of the submarine's portholes, covered in mist.

"Well, it looks like it's hot in there…"

Suddenly, a hand pressed up against the glass, and slowly slid all the way down it. Ferdi McGellan and Giles Vern blushed.

"I… I think things are going pretty well…" said Giles, clearly embarrassed.
"Errr, yes… Maybe we'd better leave them alone so they can, err… get to know each other better."

As Ferdi McGellan walked away from the dock, Giles couldn't help but give a little satisfied smile as he stared at the porthole.

"The technomagic worked…"

In the last episode... Giles Verne and Ferdi McGellan were forced to witness the beginning of a much closer relationship between Viktoria Punkhurst and the Foggernaut king. What is he doing in Sufokia? The bay's inhabitants will find out soon enough... 
   

Several hours pass before the submarine hatch finally opens. The crowd gathers around the submarine... awestruck. The imposing form of King Talas emerges, his beard blowing in the wind. He moves slowly, with determination, across the dock, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Giles' face lights up as soon as he catches sight of his king... and they exchange some friendly words of greeting.

"Hello, my dear Giles!"
"My lord… What a pleasure it is to see you again! I trust you had a good journey?"

The two friends embrace warmly.

"To be honest, I thought it would never end. But it was worth it..."

A knowing smile from both men.

"Allow me to present Ferdi McGellan: an exceptional navigator, sorcerer and astrologist."
"An impressive list! The pleasure is all mine. I am Talas, king of the Foggernauts."

Uncomfortable, Ferdi McGellan mumbles a few unintelligible words.

"I haven't come alone."

Talas gestures towards the submarine hatch. At that instant, a stream of Foggernauts begin to spread out onto the dock, squinting in the port's glaring sunlight. Ferdi McGellan is still in a stupor. Noticing his friend's discomfort, Giles decides to clarify the situation.

"You mustn't worry, my dear sorcerer. King Talas and his people have come in peace."
"Not only have we come in peace, but with the firm intention to convince you to join forces with us! United, I am convinced that we can achieve great things..."
"I am sure of it, too!" A familiar, feminine voice pipes up. 

Viktoria, escorted by two Foggernauts, emerges from the submarine in turn. She seems more self-assured than when she entered the vessel.

"I'm sure there's no need to introduce my future wife..." announces the king proudly.

Giles and Ferdi McGellan are gobsmacked. King Talas was never a man who cared much for convention... Nor for taking his time! Well, so much the better, thinks the master of the Temple of Oktapodas, who is certain of one thing: this is an alliance that would bring a new lease of life to Sufokia...

"We have so many things to share..." says the young woman, affectionately grabbing the king's arm. She then turns to Giles and Ferdi McGellan.
"My dear friends, what do you think about perfecting our Technomagic?"
"Combined with your magic, the Technomagic of the ancients has incredible possibilities! A New Era lies before you!" adds Talas, swept up in the excitement. Or could it be love...?
"But… Viktoria, Giles... who are all these people?" Ferdi McGellan still doesn't look very reassured.
"These are your ancestors, dear sorcerer… The Foggernaut elders are feeling a little seasick... or sick of the sea! They wish to return to the surface again, to live in the World of Twelve, here, in Sufokia. But we understand what a shock this must be for you. In exchange for your hospitality, we are offering you the possibility of exploring a place upon which no one has ever set foot before. Except us, of course!"

Ferdi McGellan's curiosity is stronger than his fear.

"And... what is this place you speak of?"

Talas approaches Ferdi McGellan and invites him to join him at the edge of the dock. He takes the sorcerer's face between his hands and gently turns it towards the water lapping below his feet.

"I'll let you guess." He says, with a satisfied smile.

At that moment, Ferdi McGellan understands just what the king meant by a "New Era". The depths of Sufokia are finally being offered to him. And to anyone else who wants to dive in!

"Our Seemyools will be overjoyed to show you around the many wonders of the depths!"
"And believe me, in there you will find enough diving bells for all Twelvians to enjoy!" exclaims Viktoria pointing to the vessel.

Ferdi McGellan can't believe what he's hearing. The passionate navigator's dream is finally coming true: to explore the hidden world... just under his feet...
in the SUFOKIAN ABYSS!

Among the many texts brought to light during the research off the coast of Sufokia, there is one that bears a precious advice for any and all explorers: "When in Foggernaut territory, do as the Foggernauts do". As you're getting ready for the wonderful journey ahead of you, get smart: the Steamy emote is free in any Great Emporium basket containing 9,000 Ogrines worth of goods or more!
 

 

You may have understood that already: the Steamy emote is the Foggernaut class emote. No doubt they will welcome anyone who bears it when visiting the Sunktuary with open arms!
As for the others, whether they don't have a high enough level to visit this exceptional area, or whether they're waiting for the (water) level to drop so they don't have to get wet, they'll still be able to show off!

So, are you feeling the moist heat? Up until Monday, June 6, at 23:59 (Paris Time), the Steamy emote is free when you purchase 9,000 Ogrines or more worth of items in a single Great Emporium basket.

The Underground Ruins, Part 1

A tide of emotion has swept through Sufokia very recently. King Talas has emerged from the bottom of the ocean, welcomed by Viktoria Punkhurst, Giles Vern and Ferdi McGellan, and is now taking his new hosts to a place they have never set flipper before: the great depths of the Sufokia Abysses.
 

Before anyone has time to regain their composure, Ferdi McGellan has jumped on board the Foggernaut submarine, accompanied by King Talas, Viktoria Punkhurst and Giles Vern. Nothing like a wee sea voyage to really get to know each other...

"Usually we ride on our tireless Seemyools. But for distinguished guests like yourselves, the royal submarine is much more comfortable! Please, take a seat", says the king.

A violent shudder convinces everyone to sit down quickly on the seats encircling the room. The submarine descends into the water and little by little the port holes reveal more of the incredible deep blue sea. With his forehead glued to a port hole, Ferdi McGellan peers out into the depths, wide-eyed in amazement.
"Let me see!" grumbles Giles, impatient to see the places he has only ever dreamed about.

King Talas and Viktoria exchange an amused smile at the antics of these two "overgrown children". The king then takes on the role of tour guide.
"On the left, you'll see the Submerged City, the playgrounds of the Mol Usk, Yoloinist Crabs and other Gambasmaks".

A crab latches itself to the port hole with its large tongue, startling Ferdi McGellan. Giles stifles a chuckle and his friend glares back at him.

"They like you already!”  jokes the king.
"But, what is that sort of... underwater plane?" asks Ferdi.
"Some people say it is Captain Meno's Ship. We don't know if that's true though. The bravest seek the answers for themselves. But very few have come back..."

Another thud shakes the vessel. Giles Vern presses his nose against the port hole, Ferdi glaring at him.

"Be careful my friends, we're going down a little deeper!" 

The Submerged City gives way to remnants of old walls and floors covered with engraving from an ancient time.

"Look my queen, the Submerged Relics. The frescoes you see make us think another people lived here, long ago..." Talas holds his young wife affectionately, his arms around her waist, she rests her head on his shoulder.
"It's magnificent..."

Giles and Ferdi burst into laughter at this soppy display. As if to shut them up, a Mantaze passes right in front of their noses.

"There are Mantazes here...? asks Ferdi in awe.
"Why, of course. And you haven't seen anything yet, my dear."

Upon these words, the submarine shudders to a halt, causing them all to stumble.

“But... what was that?" Talas appears confused.
“Um... My dear friends, we seem to have a little problem. I'll go and see what's happened. Do not move!" he adds, before dashing towards the engine room.

While Ferdi McGellan and Giles Vern debate who looks more like a Gambasmak and a Mol Usk, Viktoria, speechless in terror and too scared to move, points her finger at the port hole in front of her.

"That's quite a face, Viktoria! Actually, you look like a Mol Usk!" comments Ferdi.

And then it is Giles Vern who is frozen in fear by the spectacle in front of him. Right there, outside... a horrible tentacled creature with a bloodthirsty grin, its head covered with fins moves slowly, but surely, towards them.

One thing's for sure: King Talas and his crew have not chosen the best place to break down...

Viktoria, King Talas, Giles Vern, and Ferdi McGellan find themselves in a perilous situation. Stuck in a Foggernaut submarine, in the middle of the Depths of Sufokia, they're about to have an unforgettable encounter with a strange tentacled monster...
 

The Queen of the Tritun Kingdom

 
"By Oktapodas, is it ugly!"
There's no doubt: the creature's dubious charms have clearly not worked on Ferdi McGellan...
"Silence, wretch! It might be able to read lips..." protested Giles.
"No one move a muscle. Its vision might be based on movement..." added Viktoria.
At that moment, King Talas came back from the machine room screaming.
"Everything's good, friends! We'll be underway in a moment. Just the time to... By Oktapodas, that's ugly!"
"Shhhh!" urged Viktoria, her finger smashed against his lips.
"I've never sheen it sho closhe... It'sh incredible..." he whispered, halfway between fascination and disgust.
"Do... do you think it wants to hurt us?" 
"I don't know, dear mage," responded the king, freed of his queen's finger. "But one thing is sure: it doesn't want to help us."
Confusion could be seen on the faces of the three friends.
"So what is this hideous creature?", asked Viktoria.
"That is Dantinea, my dear. The Queen of the Tritun Kingdom, as it were... Our submarine broke down right in front of her palace. And it seems she doesn't like surprise visitors..."
As if to confirm the king's words, Dantinea started spinning, twirling her tentacles which swept all around her.
"She's getting closer! It's horrible!"
"Stop screaming, mage! Good lord, what are they waiting for?" wondered the king impatiently as he turned toward the machine room.
Dantinea sped up. Like a tornado, she sent everything in her path flying. The closer she got to the submarine, the sharper and more dangerous her teeth appeared. Ferdi McGellan and Giles Vern clung to each other, ignoring all social conventions and any shame...
"I'm too young to die!" 
"And I'm too intelligent!" added the mage in a moment of humility.
"Stop your drama! If I have any say in the matter, you won't be dying today!" confirmed the king, visibly uptight, and who was starting to regret bringing those two along.
Luckily, the submarine started at the very last moment as the creature was about to smash her trident into one of the portholes.
"Whew... that was a close one!" sighed Viktoria.
"The abysses of Sufokia hide nature's greatest treasures... but also its most dangerous traps. You'll have to be prudent when we leave the submarine," stated the king.
"We–we're going to leave the submarine?" asked Ferdi McGellan.
"Of course, my dear. Were you hoping just to take it easy on board the ship?" responded Giles with an impish attitude.
 
 

The Tritun Rift

 
The submarine entered the Tritun Rift. Compared to Dantinea, the Crabtuns, Trydes, and other Silyruses seemed almost welcoming. An Octodoll passed before the porthole the mage was looking out of, and winked at him.
"Looks like you're popular around here, my friend!" chuckled Giles.
"Watch out for them... they're renowned enchantresses. Their hair hypnotizes you and transforms you into stone as hard as a Iop's skull!" cautioned the king. 
As if to mark her territory, Viktoria got closer to the king and held his hand.
"This coral is splendid. All those colors – just incredible!" 
"Not as splendid as you, my darling..."
Once more, Giles and Ferdi McGellan exchanged an uncomfortable grimace.
The submarine had reached the Tritun Depths. The deeper it went, the darker the surroundings got. As did the king's face...
"Careful. We're almost there... Get ready..."

Goultarminator VIII: Registration is open!

A year has passed. A year for past and future champions to parade their might before Goultard. Now is the moment for them to step into the spotlight; registration for the Goultarminator is open and the Test of Speed can begin!

It's the 8th edition of the most anticipated tournament in the World of Twelve, and this time, server cooperation is front and center from the word go! This year, all four teams from each server must collaborate because if their server wins, they must all compete in the championship!

We've already discussed some of the adjustments made to the Goultarminator in the devblog, and today, we'd like to also make the 2016 Goultarminator Rules available for your perusal.
 

Registration and the Test of Speed


Before participating in the 646 Goultarminator, players must register for the tournament and participate in the Test of Speed between Wednesday, June 15 and the end of Sunday, July 3, 2016.

The test is simple: fight Goultard and defeat him in the lowest number of turns as you can. It's important to click quickly, though, the actual time that the fight takes will be used to break any ties.

The five best fights for each class will then move forward to the second qualifying event: the Test of Popularity.

Please note: in order to encourage players to engage tactically with the fight rather that repeat their strategies from previous years, there have been some slight modifications to the Goultard fight.

Calendar

The fights for the 2016 Goultarminator will take place from August 1st to August 28th:
 

Qualification rounds:

  • Round #1: August 1st
  • Round #2: August 3rd
  • Round #3: August 5th
  • Round #4: August 8th
  • Round #5: August 10th
  • Round #6: August 12th
  • Round of 8: August 18th
 

Finals

  • Quarter-finals: August 21st
  • Semi-finals: August 24th
  • Little Finals: August 27th
  • Finals: August 28th

1280 of you participated in the Tournament Schedule survey and 65% of you chose the 3rd option.

Therefore, each evening's fights will begin at the following times (Paris time):
 
  • 7:30 PM
  • 8:15 PM
  • 9:00 PM
  • 9:45 PM
 

Prizes

Beyond the pride of being the star of your server, several rewards will be given to individual winners, and servers, based on their rank
 

Top Server (prizes shared between all 4 teams)

All representitives and their substitutes will receive a shield with the title "Goultarminator Champion 646," a complete Champion set (which includes the Champion emote), a Psycho emote scroll, a 6 month subscription pack and a prize pool totaling 800,000 Ogrines.* Prizes will not be shared with or awarded to any disqualified teams, representatives, or substitutes.
 

First Runner-up (prizes shared between all 4 teams)

All representitives and their substitutes will receive a 3 month subscription pack and a prize pool totalling 400,000 Ogrines.* Prizes will not be shared with or awarded to any disqualified teams, representatives, or substitutes.
 

Second Runner-up (prizes shared between all 4 teams)

All representitives and their substitutes will receive a 1 month subscription pack and a prize pool totalling 160,000 Ogrines.* Prizes will not be shared with or awarded to any disqualified teams, representatives, or substitutes.

* The total prize pool will be distributed among the tournament participants based on the number of fights they participated in. For example, a player from a winning server who played all of their matches will get a final reward of 50,000 Ogrines. If the player only fought in half of their matches and their substitute fought the other half, both players will receive 25,000 Ogrines each.

 

All Teams

All representitives and their substitutes will receive Kolossokens and Doploons equal to the total number of points received by their server, multiplied by 15. Prizes will not be awarded to any disqualified teams, representatives, or substitutes.

Bonus: Servers who reach the final rounds will receive the following bonuses to their Kolossoken and Doploon totals. +50% for the pre-quarter finals, +100% for the quarterfinals, +150% for the semifinals, and +200% for the finals.

The Underground Ruins, Part 3

The King and his crew’s submarine was diving a little deeper into the ocean’s abysses. The Tritun Depths and its colourful corals gave way to a darker seascape with a heavy atmosphere... Viktoria clung more tightly to the King’s arm.
   

“My friends, we have now arrived in the domain of Roulyglouglou

– of Rygurgal”, Giles ventured to correct the King.

Ferdi McGellan bit his cheeks to stop himself from laughing.

Near to the Rygurgal Pit, the submarine came to an abrupt halt, making Ferdi McGellan fall into Giles Vern’s arms.

“What's happening?!”

“ No need to panic, my dear. This time we’re stopping on purpose.” “Although not particularly gracefully...”, he added, looking at the two foggers on the ground, slumped against one another in an unflattering position.

This time, it was Viktoria’s turn to stifle a laugh.

“Why are we stopping, Talas?”, asked Giles, trying in vain to save what’s left of his dignity as he stands up.

“Well, I don't know about you, but all this travelling has made me hungry!” And we’re in luck! Sufokian waters are renowned for their delicious dishes that are favourites of the greatest chefs in the World of Twelve!

“Bearded cod kebabs with kralove sauce ?!”, cried Ferdi.  

“Better! Rygurgal Shells”

“Rygurgal. But... don’t they say that if you eat their flesh, you will go mad?”

“Not if prepared correctly, my dear Giles!” “Trust me, I know my seafood.” “Tell me something I don’t know... Everyone put on your scaphanders, we’re going shell fishing!”

Before you can say “dive in!”, the whole crew was in the water.

“It’s even more beautiful to swim in!”, exclaimed Viktoria.

“Look, Giles!” “That one over there is the spitting image of you!”, teased Ferdi McGellan pointing at a N’yalg.

At this moment, the monster stretched out its body and caught Ferdi by the ankle. Luckily, Giles and Talas managed to release him at the last moment.
“You were saying?”, Giles said to him in a tone full of both pride and reproach.

The little troop continued on its way. Each nook and cranny was a source of amazement for the eyes of a “simple landlubber”. The Spookkoth and Skt-Zo might not be very welcoming, but they do at least provide a welcome dose of exoticism and novelty. When suddenly...

“What is that strange music, your Majesty?”

“I have no idea, Viktoria.” “Shall we try and find out where it’s coming from?”

“I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Don’t let yourself be taken in by the fanciful creatures that live in the depths. The sound you can here is the work of the Klutists, merciless monsters who...”

Giles was talking to a wall. The Royal couple were paying no heed to his warning and were heading straight for the source of the melody. He and Ferdi shouted as loudly as they could to call them back, but to no avail.
 
Because, in the Sufokian Abyss, no one can hear you cry...

Osamodas Redesign: WIP!

The most attentive of you will have noticed a little bit of information that discretely slipped into the calendar last week. We are already planning a September release for the long-awaited Osamodas class redesign!
Oh yes, Update 2.35 only just reached your server this week and we are already spilling the beans about the September update! According to the content schdule, the two other major project in the pipeline for 2.36 are wide-screen format and interface overhaul. We are working hard to meet our deadlines... but you already know all that. What we're focused on today is a little development that we announced last week: an Osamodas redesign!

When we say redesign, we're not mincing our words either! We have revised game mechanics, modernized the design of the class, updated spell effects and more... So prepare to discover a new generation of Osamodas!

Right now, we are at the very beginning... early days, early days... well, you’ll see what we mean. But we still want to share our ideas and plans with you, so we thought, let's GO FOR IT! Come on now! Let's get CRAZY! Just show them! But remember: everything is strictly WIP* and it is possible and likely that there will be substantial changes between what we show you now and September.

*Work in progress

Game Design


Obviously, the "summoner" role of the Osomodas class will remain at the heart of their game play.

We currently plan to have 3 principal elemental paths: Air, Fire and Earth (each with its own particular specialty).

One of the new game mechanics proposed for this class is to "fuse" with its summons during battle, which will change its attributes and characteristics.
Each elemental path is associated with a specific summons:
 
  • Air: the Tofus specialist
  • Fire: the Wyrmlings master
  • Earth: the Gobballs guardian

As for the spells, we are starting out with 5 utility spells and 5 spells for each elemental path.

One of the utility spells, the "animal link" spell is devoted to the fuse ability in combination with the "Symbiosa" summons, which allows an Osamodas to control their summons for 1 turn. As for the "Spiritual Leash" spell... we aren't changing that one, oh no, it’s already perfect as it is!

Air-type spells are specialized to avoid contact, allowing you to push away, attack without line of sight or harass enemies.
Fire-type spells favor healing and allow you to unbewitch enemies.
Earth-type spells reinforce tank abilities, allowing you block the retreat of enemies, draw them out and reduce their power.

 

Character Design


When we say "fusion", think makeover!
 

Hee hee, no, not that kind of makeover...

Xa has done some concept art that explores what the final result of a fuse state might look like. Then, Rumo harmonized those sketches into sprites that suit the DOFUS universe. Here's the current result:



But that's not all! The Osamodas sprite is also scheduled to take on a more mature appearance. There’s still a long way to go, but here are the first drawings:
 

FX Design


Whether it’s a new spell or a modified spell, we still need some new effects! Like the Eniripsa, Iop or Xelor before them, the Osamodas will shine in combat thanks to some brand new animated effects! Here’s the proof: first drafts of the new animations:

 
 

So, that’s what we have done so far. We hope that these tidbits of information will inspire you and awaken the wild beast sleeping in the heart of every Osa! As far as we’re concerned, our goal is to give you a redesign that is a change from what came before and create new game mechanics that are even more fun and enjoyable to play without increasing the difficulty.

We’ll say it one last time: We’re still in the planning stages and things are likely to change in the coming weeks. We can't wait to hear your opinion, so don't forget to tell us what you think!
