A new update to Shard Seekers (https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/shard-seekers-demo/) will release soon, I have drastically over-estimated how long the map will take to fully complete, it will contain all main story content however, the post-game content will not be included, and will be released at a later date. (there will be a reward for getting all of the obtainable shards though!)

TO DO LIST:
  • Make a credits sequence
  • Add some more dialogue to some areas
  • Finish the zoo area
  • Make an updated trailer
  • Add a completion bonus


Here is the current changelog for this update:

Main Additions

  • Added 11 new levels
  • Added 3 new Bonus levels
  • Added 1 new SUPER SECRET level
  • Added a new gamemode



    QOL Changes
    • Combined magic carrot + magic fungus into a new item, the Shard Scepter
      • Hitting an enemy with the shard scepter deals increased knockback, to entice launching them off the map, which is funny.
      • New ability to fast travel to activated checkpoints across the map with the shard scepter
    • Enemy Combat changes
      • Critting an enemy deals double damage to it
      • Jumping on enemies/critting them will now stun them for 1 second, stopping you from almost always getting hit if it doesn't kill it
      • Additionally, enemies that are punched will gain a brief period of the weakness effect, making it safer for you to jump on them after
    • Certain attacks are telegraphed with large red warning circles/particles
    • Strange Shards that make you get 100 shardlets now give you multiple lives to do the mission with, the shardlets only reset if you lose all your lives


    Minor Changes/Bug Fixes
    • No longer take damage to the firework that spawns when you collect all the shardlets in a strange shard
    • Fixed bug that caused certain entities to be constantly loaded despite not being in the same level as them (greatly improves the preformance of the map)
    • Lots of map optimisations
    • Level 40’s strange shard modifier has been changed from no health regen to a timer
    • Added new attacks to old bosses
    • Added air particles to some custom biomes
    • Final secret level now requires all other secret shards to unlock
    • Upgraded the visuals of some levels (With help from Komati and QueenBee)
    • Removed the fire screen overlay and lingering fire damage
    • Barry now has conditional dialogue
    • Barry’s Zoo fully finished (Can unlock more entries for each enemy depending on map progress)
    • Map updated to 1.21.1
    • Added power shards that are hidden throughout the hub worlds
