Bugfix Build 0.2.8

I'm releasing a new build in the hopes it will be less buggy than 0.2.7. However, this build also includes some major updates to the structure and balance of the game. See the September dev log for more information about those changes. There's no new content available at this time but ...

Issues with 0.2.7

When I released 0.2.7 I knew there would be many bugs since there were so many changes to basically every part of the game. As time has gone on more issues have been reported. While I'm still in the middle of trying to build out chapter 3 I feel it necessary to release a bug fix build.

This...

Dev Report August/September 2022

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you a little update about what I'm working on. I spent the later half of August on some changes in preparation for Chapter 3. These were somewhat technically challenging changes that would break everything and I was hesitant to delve into them but also felt they ...

Build 0.2.7

Alright everyone I've got a new build ready. This one is focused more on the game mechanics and polish instead of new content so if you are interested in that then please do check it out and give feedback on how it feels.

Besides working on general improvements and polish I have ...

Challenge rating

So far, what encounters have you found to be legitimately difficult? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

Dev update August 2022

Hey everyone I wanted to let you know I'm working through the list of high priority issues and there should be another build released this month.

The feedback I've received has been truly amazing and I wanted to thank everyone again, I'll try to reply to each one individually but...

Collecting Feedback

Hey everyone, since Chapter Two is completed (for now,) I figure it is a good time to tackle some high priority issues. I have a general idea of what I think is important but I would like to hear your thoughts too.

So please, let me know what you think are the biggest issues right ...

Build 0.2.6 The Realm of The Faerie Queen

At long last it is here! The final piece of Chapter Two, at least for now. Face off against the Prince one last time and witness the conclusion to this chapter.

It's been quite a journey and not everything could make it in but now we can take a step back and evaluate what to tackle next. If...

Small Dev Update

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I'll try to release the chapter 2 finale scene this month. Not everything will be finished and polished but honestly I've become so burned out on it that I need to release what I can and let myself work on other parts of the game. This is a very impo...

Initial planning for chapter three

Hey everyone, I have some more chapter three concept and planning stuff. I'm sharing with goblin tier+ so feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.

I have a basic idea of what I want to happen in chapter 3 but a lot of details still need to be worked out. So far I'm planning ...

New weapon type

I'm working on implementing a new weapon type for Lyric. This was going to come a little bit later but I think he'll get it from the start now. I still have to work on a few more animations and final art for the bow and arrow.

I'm also planning some other battle improvements although these ...

• Black screen after surrendering to a single goblin encounter the third time

Build 0.2.5.1 Feisty Forest Frolic (Bug fix and more)

Build 0.2.5.1 is up! I can't guarantee everything is fixed but hopefully it fixes more than it breaks!

A new build is here! The main focus of this build is the new forest zones bringing along with it a new plant based monster, the mantrap! This expands on the beginning part of ch...

Status of next build

Hey everyone just quick wanted let you know I'm releasing a build soon. 

This won't be the final part of chapter two. That is not quite finished but is maybe 70% done.  It's hard to say for sure at the moment as some stuff may still be shifted around. I'll do a full break down in ...

Forest Zone taking shape

I completed the art assets to build the forest zones and started animating the plant monster.

Dev update

Hey everyone just want to give a little progress update. Earlier this month I thought I could rush out a new build but I felt it would end up be very disappointing if I didn't have very much new content ready to explore. I'm sorry again for the long wait.

While I am trying to finish up the ...

Dev Update

Hey guys, sorry for the absence and lack of updates the past month. Things didn't really go according to the plan I had back in September and I ended up needing to find a new place to live. I'm settled in my new place now so I'm back to working on the game.

I would like to release a build t...

Progress Update

Hey everyone! I have a little progress update to let you know how the chapter two finale is coming along and a few small improvements I've made with feedback from the last build. 

First of all I want to go over the hints I have added relating to the quests at the beginning of chapter t...

Another quick update

Hey everyone just want to give an update on the status of the next build. Unfortunately I think the next update will have to be delayed. Due to unforeseen circumstances in my life, I've had trouble concentrating on some of the tasks required to finish the new scenes.

I hope that it will not...

October small update + plans

Hey everyone! I just want to give a small update and talk about plans for the remainder of Chapter Two.

Since the last build I’ve been working on the goblin battle scripts and added a new goblin variant. I want every enemy to have a variety of abilities instead of just attacking every tur...

Build 0.2.3 Direwolves

The new build is here! The highlight of this build is the addition of the new monster type, the direwolves! They are a pack of intelligent beasts who have an alliance with the goblins and guard the entrances of their encampment. They are led by the Alpha Wolf who is a boss level monster. There ar...

Preparing for build next week

I'm tying up a couple last minute loose ends and then I need to test the game to make sure there isn't anything broken.

The main focus will be the new dire wolf monsters but there's also a small amount of new story content from the beginning of chapter two up until entering the goblin encam...

Alpha Wolf battle WIP

Hey everyone! Small update on the wolf, he's been rigged and most of the battle and related scene animations are done. I just need to finish a few more then I'll get on to writing him some dialog and scripting out his scenes.

Sorry it's taken so long, I ran into a lot of roadblocks with oth...

Alpha wolf

Hey everyone sorry for going quiet this month. I've been struggling with a few things but I'll still try to make progress where I can, probably monster art for a bit.

 For those of you who saw the dire wolf concept art previously, I had to scrap it/rework it. After doing the clean up I...

Updated the Monument zone

The archeology association has built up some new scaffolding for viewing the second tier of the monument. 

Aahh I really want to add an old man sitting up there that will talk your ear off and make hero fall asleep but that's not on the agenda right now.

I also want to update the...

Beast Monument

Hey everyone! I'll be adding a new patron monument in the next build. Patrons that support at the Incubus tier at any time during the era of the beast (roughly during chapter 2 development) will be able to claim a spot on the beast monument.

If you have previously supported at the Incubus t...

Changes to the way rewards are delivered

Hey everyone just wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of changes I made to the Patreon. Since they updated the messaging system several months ago it made it more unwieldly to send out mass messages. From now on I probably won't send out messages each month. I've added welcome notes to each...

Plans for next build and poll follow ups

Hey everyone just want to talk a bit about the next build and a few other things. I'll add a gif near the bottom if you just want to skip to it though.

So I think we're in a pretty ok stable place in terms of major code changes. It took a while to get a lot of the prototype code upgraded to...
