Developer posts and news about this game.
It's been a heavy few weeks of mostly-invisible work. A forest playtest threw up a long list of things that were broken, and most of this update is me working through that list. The one of the biggest fixes was the Ancient reveal , the cinematic where an Ancient wakes up and marc
Threat used to be a number ticking up in the corner. Now the dark moves with it, the edges of the screen pull inward, the light thins, and past a certain point the map drops into full eclipse. When it lifts, the biome's Ancient has dragged itself onto the path. And it's marching
Two weeks of mostly forest-biome and combat-feel work. The headline is the battle visuals rework finally landing on main; new impact camera work, scene lighting, and an enemy death crescendo, alongside a real pass on making the forest enemies feel distinct from each other instead
This one's a shorter stretch than usual, about six days since the last post, so it's mostly shop and feel work plus one bigger system change under the hood. The shop got a major pass. There's now a reroll button under the shop title, gold cost starts at 50 and goes up 50 each tim

This is a big one, combining a couple of weeks I didn't get a chance to post about, so there's a lot here. The mountain biome now has an actual roster: 12 base enemies and 5 guardians, all built from scratch, on theme, to spec. Combined with reworked desert and forest guardians a
Last devlog I flagged that the Anointed's animations were placeholder while the kit itself was playable. That's done now, full anims and VFX are in, including a batch pass across all 20 of the Anointed's card files so they're wired up consistently rather than one at a time. The b
This is probably the biggest internal milestone since the demo launched, meta-progression has been added in a skeletal state, placeholder assets for now, but fully functional. Please feedback your thoughts, it's still in need of a lot of testing. What's new: The Hometown — There'

It's been a busy few weeks. Most of the work this sprint was polish and systems I'd been putting off, VFX that were half-finished, animations that existed but weren't wired up, and the difficulty system which had been sitting at 5 levels for way too long. Here's everything that c
The Crimson Bloom Update is now live for Hunter's Hand! If you've been waiting to try the game, now's a good time to jump in. What's new: The Martyr subclass - Built entirely around sacrifice. Spend HP to deal damage. Break yourself to break the run. High risk, devastating ceilin
Time for the first new subclass reveal! New Class: The Martyr A class built around sacrifice . Spend your own health. Break your own body to break your enemies. If you've been playing the demo you've already seen a glimpse, the next update fully delivers on the concept. Here's a
Something stirs in Hunter's Hand. The Crimson Bloom is spreading. A new way to play is close... A new place to die in is closer than you think. That's all for now.
