First things first - I basicly finished the game, the version that most likely will go to full release in a coulpe of weeks is in current beta version steam branch. If some of you want to help me to make the release better - please, try the pre-release version yourself. There's s
Hi everyone. It's been a while. Quick personal context first, since I owe you one. The game getting little attention even though it was free took a hit on my motivation in late 2024 - I knew Skillwood was a niche concept, but the gap between "people who play it seem to enjoy it"
I could've done it earlier, but I'm a little bit low on motivation lately. Hope I can keep going with ~monthly updates as usual. Changelog: - Maxing out AOE blast skill damage multiplier won't make it deal 0 damage anymore. Thanks to @bz-mof, @Xen, @Lamey the Clown and @Blue64 fo
I'm late almost for a week with an update log, but some of you might already play the new version. Sorry for being late, I have a strange excuse, but I do version preview covers in a strange way in game and capturing blast was quite tricky. Also, v0.22.3 was a bug fix uploaded a

Demo v0.20.4 The story repeats and a new video revealed new bugs. These bugs got me in a middle of working on big update, so I hidden the feature I was working at and quickly fixed these issues. Muted sounds by default can really spoil the impression of the game even though there

Problem: since I make covers for new versions in game itself, I, as usual, did it with v0.20.0. However because I did it with souls shop scene instead of main menu scene as usual, I forgot to remove it before building new 0.20.1 version. So souls shop ended up being almost unusab
