Spawners are elite flying summoner units, known as the "scum of nightmare." They keep their distance from players and birth kamikaze drones that seek and explode on impact. Identifying clueless drones indicates the presence of a nearby spawner.
Spawner Level 1:
HP: 50
DMG: 34.5
Armor: 1 (Note: Inflicts damage through spawned drones)
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT:
The Spawner itself deals no damage, but its spawned drones pose a threat. Players need to be prepared to one-shot the drones, while prioritizing the elimination of the Spawner to prevent being overwhelmed.
The Spawner resides in the nightmare dimension, materializing terrors and anxieties. Its mysterious background includes being a former cook for Zahir. The lore is intentionally vague, with room for interpretation. Suggestions are welcome.
Sharing information before the game's release ensures players are informed and excited. It provides a guide for dealing with the Spawner and adds to the game's lore. The devblog aims to create interest, generate hype, and offer a preview for those wanting to learn more about the game.

Now that we've unveiled our first map, the Nightmare Dimension, which will be the playable map in the closed alpha, we want to update you on what we've been working on.

Visual Overhaul:
We've undertaken a major visual overhaul, as showcased in the before-and-after image below. Shifting from a pink to a more purple color scheme, we've darkened the overall atmosphere of Nightmare to align with our envisioned aesthetic. The addition of a perfectly fitting skybox, though time-consuming, has proven to be well worth the effort. We've also introduced extra detailing, such as torches, and implemented a day/night cycle that enhances immersion. Looking ahead, we might incorporate a weather cycle. Additionally, we've adjusted visibility with fog, enhancing immersion without negatively impacting gameplay.
Gameplay-Related Content: Events:
Introducing events, which occur both inside sections and between them. Closed-quarters events include:

1. Camps:
   Tribes of huts with enemies and loot. Beware, as entering their territories will enrage them.
   
2. Teleporter Portals:
   A chance of being broken, these portals connect to random locations on the map, allowing free movement back and forth.
   
3. Boss Altar:
   This self-explanatory feature summons the largest and most fearsome Nightmare entity: Zahir, the incarnation of terror and anxiety. There's only one altar per dimension, and its location is random.

Between Events or Gate Events:
Guardians of gates, these events act as obstacles for moving from one place to another on foot. A few gate events added include:

1. Turret Event:
   Defend turrets from hordes of enemies to pass through this gate.
   
2. Crystal Event:
   Search and destroy crystals to charge open the gate.
   
3. Gatekeeper Event:
   These keepers defend gates with their lives!

🌌
Descend into the ethereal realm known as Nightmare, a dimension where the very fabric of terror takes shape. In the cosmic tapestry of this haunting realm, you confront the core fears and terrors that reside in the shadows of every living being.

🎨
The canvas of Nightmare is painted in a dark, ominous palette. A sinister marriage of dark grays and purples envelops the landscape, creating an otherworldly ambiance. Illuminated by eerie purple lightning, the terrain reveals a strange dichotomy—hues of darkness set against vivid purple elements. The grass whispers fears, water shivers with dread, and flames dance in the hues of malevolence.

👻 In this macabre theater, you encounter the ghouls—sentinels of terror. These spectral entities, clad in haunting light grey armor, wander the desolate landscape. Their twisted forms are a spectral green, a complement to the ominous purple surroundings. Each ghoul bears the weight of fears and nightmares, materialized to ensure they are never questioned, only feared.

⚔️
Your journey through Nightmare is a confrontation with terror itself. The ghouls, with swords and laser guns in hand, stand as the guardians of the core fears that materialize in this dimension. It is a place where fears take tangible form, and you must navigate this eerie landscape, confronting the very essence of terror to overcome the nightmares that lurk in the shadows.

🔮
As you delve deeper into Nightmare, the mysteries unfold, and the true nature of terror reveals itself. The dimension challenges your courage, pushing you to face the darkest corners of the subconscious. Will you emerge unscathed, or succumb to the nightmares that seek to consume you?

🌌 Start your journey into the core of Nightmare, where fear materializes and anxieties come to life. Fend the ghouls, explore the purple-tainted void and solve the riddles of that which lies beyond the veil of fear.
