Keymaster's Keep - Release #2: The Shop Update

New in this version

• Players now have the option to define a configurable chance to replace keep areas with shops
• Each shop has a unique name and a unique shopkeeper that will greet you and incite you to shop in their own way
• Shop will have a variable number of items for sale (configurable; up to 5 per)
• Shopkeepers will only part with their valuable items in exchange for specific unique relics (New progression items!)
• Players can configure the chance of each shop item being forced as a progression item
• An option exists to control whether or not discovering a shop will generate hints for its items

Finally, a totally insane feature (as in, literal insanity required to add this):

• Keymaster's Keep shops are Archipelago item aware and will show a unique description for each one
• For this initial release, every item from core-verified APWorlds have descriptions (over 12,000 items!)
• The game also has a pool of interesting descriptions for items it doesn't know
• Future updates will gradually add item descriptions support for popular / stable custom APWorlds

Note: Screenshots are taken from Archipelago 0.6.2 (with the new UI), but the APWorld works just fine with 0.6.1.

Keymaster's Keep

Keymaster's Keep is a dynamic, multi-game objective / challenge generator that seamlessly integrates with a thematic Archipelago randomizer. In other words, you have a typical Archipelago randomizer with goals, finite locations, progression items, logic etc. and Keymaster's Keep will generate and associate unique game challenges with each location. The APWorld features a plugin system to add games independently from releases, as well as a dedicated client to assist with the exploration and challenges of Keymaster's Keep.

When you play Keymaster's Keep...

• You will generate a new keep with distinct areas
• A few of these areas will be unlocked from the start
• The rest will be locked and will require combinations of magic keys to unlock
• These magic keys are scattered throughout the multiworld
• Once an area is unlocked, a set of trials for a specific game will be revealed
• For each trial you complete, you will manually check it off in the client and that will correspond to a location check
• Your goal will either be to collect enough artifacts of resolve to unlock a final challenge to beat or to escape the keep with a certain number of magic keys in hand.
