Devblog Entry 018: A Slice of Paradise



That's a very good question! Lucky for you, we've got an answer!

Welcome to Hookslice Hills!

Hookslice Hills is home to some of the wealthiest people in the FusionFall Universe, and is located just east of Peach Creek Estates. The main attraction is the Delightful Mansion from Down the Lane, which serves as the location's hub. You'll be able to shop, swap nanos, and get missions from NPCs near the front gate. Monkey Skyway agents can also be found here for quick travel to areas such as Foster's Home and the Cul-De-Sac.
Hey, what's the deal with the giant birthday cake?


Who ever thought you'd see these two working together?

Evidently, Mung Daal Catering has been contracted by Father to construct a ginormous birthday cake in his backyard. Chowder, insisting that he's finally ready to oversee the creation of a dish by himself, is sent in to oversee the project on behalf of the company. While a highly skilled professional team of chefs are handling the more important tasks, the sudden responsibility and pressure still hits Chowder like a rock. Father, on the other hand, is less "under pressure" and more "extremely angry". Fuse's invasion has now halted TWO of his construction projects! Not only is Delightful Developments overrun with fusion monsters, but the spawns around the cake have been quickly increasing in numbers, bringing progress to a crawl.

There's also a third NPC down near the entrance to the golf course infected zone, but we'll have more information on them at a later date. Until then, feel free to speculate on who they might be!

...who's the cake for, you ask? We've got no idea. Whoever it is, I'm sure they're very delightful!

Father will maintain his role in the original game while also being given a brand new set of missions exclusive to FusionFall Legacy. Chowder, on the other hand, is being entirely re-purposed with a brand new set of missions. The "Chowder's IncrEDIBLE Journey" FusionFall Adventure as well as the other two similar mission sets are not set to appear in FusionFall Legacy.

Hookslice Hills Overview

All is not well in paradise. A not-terribly-upscale private golf course lies just beyond the entrance to Hookslice Hills. Fuse's infection has corrupted Hookslice Country Club rather severely. Pancake-like putting greens can even be seen hovering high in the air above thanks to the infection!  Players will have to navigate across the course on foot; hopping from platform to platform, climbing up poles, and dodging giant rolling golf balls to keep from falling into the fusion matter lake below.

It wouldn't be an infected zone without music! Check out the new track for the Hookslice Country Club infected zone here!

It wouldn't be FusionFall without a brand new cast of fusion creeps running around causing havoc! Here's one of the new enemies you'll be fighting!

Why Hookslice?
We here at FusionFall Legacy are determined to not only remake FusionFall, but also to restore parts of the original team's vision that didn't quite make the cut. During our extensive research, we stumbled across a mention or two of a golf course infected zone. Taking what little information we had, we designed a brand new suburbs area around it and adapted and created new story devices, characters, and locations (such as the giant birthday cake, delightful mansion, etc.) to further flesh out the area and make sure we weren't skimping out on content!

Also, I'd like to add that this will be the last "concept" devblog for quite some time. We've been hard at work polishing up various features over the past few months, and we're almost ready to share them with you!

That said... stay tuned next week for the first footage of character creation!
