Watch the latest Hell Clock trailer for a deep dive into Update 1.1: Clockmaker's Tools, which introduces a crafting system, as well as quality-of-life changes like blessed stash, a search function added to the reliquary, a loadout system, updates to defense, updates to boss fights, and rebalancing of the endgame to the roguelike action RPG. Update 1.1 also features new content, including five new constellations and more.
00:00Hi, my name is Mark and I'm the Game Director on Hale Clock.
00:07We're releasing our first big update, Clockmaker's Tools.
00:11So I'm here to walk you through some of the biggest changes.
00:14Update 1.1 introduces our first crafting system.
00:18As you explore the world and kill monsters, you will find these new Clockmaker Tools
00:22that you can use to modify your relics.
00:25Tool of Tinkering can randomize one affects on the relic.
00:29Tool of Enhancement can transform a common relic into a magic one.
00:34While Tool of Greater Enhancement can turn any magic into a rare relic.
00:39To help mitigate the RNG, you can use the Tool of Locksmithing, which will lock a random affix on the relic.
00:47Repeated uses of Locksmithing will change the locked affix.
00:51Now let's see some more powerful effects.
00:54Tools of Imbuement come in three types.
00:57Theory, Faith and Discipline.
00:59They all add exciting implicit effects to your relics.
01:03The result is based on the type of Imbuement and the size of your relic, so you have a lot of control.
01:08Unlike the Corrupted Tools, which can modify your relics unpredictably,
01:13either turning them into some of the most powerful items in the game or ruining them forever.
01:18Use the Power of Corruption at your own peril.
01:22And last, but definitely not least, you can use the Divine Tools to improve all of the affixes on a relic.
01:29This can even make the values go beyond their normal limits, creating extremely powerful effects.
01:35The itemization of Hell Clock just got a lot more exciting, as now relics you drop during your runs can be either already imbued, already corrupted or even both at the same time.
01:47We're also bringing some of the most requested quality of life changes so far.
01:51The Blast Gear Stash has been added to town, and offers a simple and easy way to store your gear and swap pieces around.
01:59A search function has been added to the reliquary, enabling you to quickly find the missing piece for your build.
02:06Update 1.1 also adds a loadout system for both your relics and your gear.
02:12Experimenting with different builds in Hell Clock has never been easier.
02:16On the gameplay side, version 1.1 completely rebalances some defensive layers,
02:22as well as overhauls all enemy damage scaling throughout the entire game.
02:26Our goal was to increase the time to kill on players, making cheap deaths by one hit kills way less common.
02:34We have also added a death recap breakdown, which allows you to understand how you died and which type of resistances you should be focusing more on.
02:43Another major point of feedback from players has been the boss fights.
02:47We have made gameplay improvements to almost all fights in the game, and have introduced a new curse system.
02:53The goal is to make boss fights faster, more dangerous, and with less one hit kills.
03:00We have rebalanced the vertical endgame of Hell Clock from the ground up for 1.1, with deeper itemization, better progression, and more challenges.
03:10We are also introducing a fourth world tier, called Void, an extremely difficult challenge that will be impenetrable to all but the bravest backlanders.
03:21Even with all these changes, our team has managed to squeeze in a few new additions as well.
03:271.1 is adding 5 new constellations and 3 new uniques to spice up your builds.
03:33We are also making a huge push for build variety, giving significant buffs and reworks to underperforming skills and setups.
03:40The amount of viable builds in the game has drastically increased.
03:44As you can see, update 1.1 is a big one.
03:48We highly recommend that you create a brand new save file to experience all of these changes from a fresh start, but that will not be required.
03:56If you choose to keep playing on your old save file, we have prepared a care package with some crafting materials to help you get started on your 1.1 journey.
04:05Clockmakers Tools is coming for free to all Hell Clock players on September 29th.
04:11Do not miss it!
04:12Thank you very much for your time and see you in Hell!
