Hey all,
After looking at the Oneons game, I realized I was extremely unhappy with the quality of the graphics. It's hard to believe how much my pixel-art skills have changed in two years.
So, I set out to revamp the game entirely. I updated almost all the graphics: monsters, tiles, items, and the UI. As part of this, I decided to revamp the game and make dungeons more than twice as big. Oneons is supposed to be a difficult, brutally hard and strategic game; and while the addition of heal in 1.6.0 made the game significantly easier, the game is now back to being quite difficult, as intended.
I hope you will all enjoy the updates as much as I enjoyed working on it! If you have any feedback, please drop me a comment here or on Discord.
Thanks for playing!

Thanks to all our new and returning players for providing feedback on Oneons v1.6.1! One player pointed out a small bug fix that just I couldn't resist fixing: monster health bars!
Starting in v1.6.1, monster health bars now decrease according to their remaining health. (The numerical display of their health was always correct.)
As usual, if you find the game or developer intriguing or just want to chat with us, hit us up on Discord! (Link is on the game page.)
I am honestly very thankful and humble for the support around Oneons. In one year of launching my first ever commercial game on Steam, I really learned a lot. As the game now reached one year, after much deliberation, I decided to make the game free forever. If you're interested
I am honestly very thankful and humble for the support around Oneons. In one year of launching my first ever commercial game on Steam, I really learned a lot.
As the game now reached one year, after much deliberation, I decided to make the game free forever. If you're interested in the game but haven't tried it yet, why not give it a try? I would love to hear your feedback, good or bad!
Most of all, if you play the game, please leave a review! It really helps a lot with current, and future games.
Feel free to hit me up on Discord if you want to discuss the game!
A few players mentioned that they found Oneons very challenging and difficult, to the point of being unbeatable (despite being a relatively short game). I decided to make a couple of simple changes to reduce the difficulty of the game significantly: Any Oneons you rescue increase
A few players mentioned that they found Oneons very challenging and difficult, to the point of being unbeatable (despite being a relatively short game). I decided to make a couple of simple changes to reduce the difficulty of the game significantly:
Together, these two changes make the game quite a bit easier and more accessible!
If you're a hardcore player and prefer the original difficulty, you can also omit to rescue Oneons (they have no other impact on the game). As you like!
Enjoy, and let us know your feedback!
Hello! Just a quick update to v1.5.1 version of Oneons. This includes a single tiny bug-fix: attack animations! Prior to this fix, when you attack, you only see the first frame of animation. Now, you see the full thing. Enjoy!

While small, we hope these will help new and experienced players get that little bit extra out of our game.
Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy!

I am extremely excited to announce that you can buy and play Oneons right now. After five months of development (three of which were implementing player-requested changes), the game is now released. (Prior releases were only available to Steam Curators.)
This public release also coincides with our v1.4.0 release. As far as 1-3 week releases go, it's a smaller one. The game is polished, complete, (hopefully) bug free, and hopefully many of you will play it and give us your feedback so we can improve it.
This release primarily includes more polish (quality-of-life changes) and bug-fixes. The list includes:
This wraps up changes based on feedback we've received so far. We're hoping to receive more, so don't be shy with your comments!
I am especially looking forward to hearing your feedback: thoughts, concerns, ideas, etc. We read and process all the information you send us, and a lot of that makes it into future releases. You can find me on Discord or Twitter (@nightblade99).
First of all, I apologize for not meeting our intended two-week goal with this release. Life happens, and unfortunately development on Oneons is slowing down. I cannot guarantee either that two-week releases will continue, and I'm not sure if all the planned future content will m
First of all, I apologize for not meeting our intended two-week goal with this release. Life happens, and unfortunately development on Oneons is slowing down. I cannot guarantee either that two-week releases will continue, and I'm not sure if all the planned future content will make it into the game. If you're interested in following development, you can find me on Twitter (@nightblade99).
That said, the v1.3.0 update is now live!
v1.3.0 includes two major changes, the first being a complete Wasteland biome. The area now includes a new monster (Cactobite) with a new ability; new sprites, new audio, and a new BGM. It poses quite the additional difficulty over the previous (Dungeon) biome.
Second, due to an oversight in testing, the Linux version of Oneons crashed on startup. (This is because we stored BGM files in a .7z archive, which doesn't have a good cross-platform library for extraction.) We switched over to using MP3s for audio, and now it works well on Linux too.
On top of completing the Wasteland biome, this release includes quite a number of smaller fixes and changes. These include:
I fixed lots of bugs, including:

Dear Oneons community,
We're excited to ship a new v1.2.0 version of the game today! This this the second every-other-week release that delivers changes players requested and based on player feedback.
This new update includes some significant changes. Mainly: there is no New Game+ any longer! Instead, on 7B, the dungeon changes over into the Wasteland biome. This biome contains what was previously the New Game+ content (new monsters/tileset); in the next release, it should be a complete distinct biome.
Furthermore, all persistent boosts have been removed from the game. While you can still rescue Oneons to power up, that only lasts until you die (or win).
Major changes:
Additional tweaks and bug-fixes include:
All the major and minor changes, and some of the bug-fixes, came from your feedback, which I really value. Please continue to send your suggestions, thoughts, and grievances my way so we can continue to make this game into something much better.
As we mentioned last week, you can expect releases roughly every two weeks. v1.3.0 is planned for the second week of August.
Oneons v1.2.0 included lots of internal changes and restructuring; the net effect is that biomes, new monsters, and new monster powers are much easier to create. For the next release, I intend to wrap up the Wasteland biome, and start on the next one (Space-Time Continuum?). You can see a proof-of-concept art piece here:
As always, I would love to hear from you directly - feel free to reach out on Discord or Twitter (@nightblade99).

Dear friends and curators,
I released Oneons on Steam with the plan that I would ship it and move on to my next game. But, overwhelmingly, the feedback I got back is that the game ... could be better. Could be great. But, it needs more work!
With that in mind, my plan for the next several of weeks is pretty simple but comprehensive: ship Oneons version 2.0, primarily driven by player feedback and suggestions. The first of these are in Oneons v1.1.0, which shipped earlier today.
This new update includes the first few improvements that players suggested:
It's a lot to do, but I think it will make the game much more polished and fun overall. It comes with an obvious downside: I work alone on Oneons during my free time, so this pushes the release date back beyond August.
I would like you thank you all again for playing Oneons and giving me detailed feedback. My ask to you is simple: if you're interested in seeing the game evolve, try out the new versions, and post your feedback. I'll read it all, agree with much of it, and implement whatever makes sense to me.
Also, feel free to connect with me. I'm on Discord frequently, I'm on Twitter (@nightblade99). I would love to hear from you.
Coming Soon: August 2020 First, and most importantly, Oneons: Prisoners, our premiere broughlike (roguelite) dungeon crawler, will be available in August 2020 (barring any unforseen delays). The game is functionally complete, tested, and polished, so I don't anticipate any issues
First, and most importantly, Oneons: Prisoners, our premiere broughlike (roguelite) dungeon crawler, will be available in August 2020 (barring any unforseen delays). The game is functionally complete, tested, and polished, so I don't anticipate any issues.
Major changes from the last month include:
This is in addition to fixing quite a lot of bugs. It's quite a big amount of work, and I'm really happy with the results!
I'm very excited to get this game in your hands and get your feedback on it, so keep posted! For more frequent (albeit smaller) updates, you can find me on Twitter.
