  Characters now get their own little poems to accompany a preview of their starting abilities! They each now have 9 unique memories, which should be plenty to go along with the universal memories. Gonn... Continue reading

  #update, #v0_3_0, #devlog

  Persistent character traits, the spice of any roguelike, have finally been added. There are now 30 Memories in the game -- sort of like Slay the Spire's relics, but I plan on having them do stranger t... Continue reading

  Finally starting to add more enemies and bosses to the game. Units can now have unique reactions, such as memorizing player cards it witnesses -- the newly added Wood path boss uses this as its key me... Continue reading

  #update, #v0_2_4, #devlog

  Character art is redone! I've also reworked the path choices to be more Hades-like; the player chooses their reward, and the game sets the challenge. I wanted to avoid making the player choose between... Continue reading

  
• Alpha v0.2.3 Released
  June 26, 2024 by Magnesium Ninja#update, #v0_2_3, #devlog

  The art I was using for player character game pieces was several years old at this point, so I wanted to redo it. These thigh-up illustrations should also be more readable at a distance. There's also... Continue reading

  
• Alpha v0.2.2 Released
  June 16, 2024 by Magnesium Ninja#update, #v0_2_2, #devlog

  This week I've continued to focus on sound and VFX design. I've also changed AOEs from squares to outlines, which should hopefully reduce visual noise. Changelog v0.2.1 -> v0.2.2 Bug Fixes - Percent-t... Continue reading

• Alpha v0.1.6 Released
  April 28, 2024 by Magnesium Ninja#update, #v0_1_6, #devlog

  ...Pretend I didn't say last week that the next update would be 0.2. This week's changes felt too significant to hold off until then -- players now show an incoming damage summary, making turns much e... Continue reading

  
• Alpha v0.1.5 Released
  April 21, 2024 by Magnesium Ninja#update, #v0_1_5, #devlog

  These two weeks, I rewrote the enemy behaviour code and implemented ground AOEs that are very powerful, but non-tracking. My hope is that this will emphasize the movement aspect of the game more, and... Continue reading
