Tomorrow is release day :) I polished the combat, cleaned up the levels, and tweaked the balance. I also got rid of some of the bugs. And finally, the F-word appeared. To quote one playtester: "For the first time, I caught myself having FUN mid-fight rather than just managing the
The build is approved so the release date is set :) I worked on the melee combat, since there was some negative feedback. I hope to catch now better the intent of the player. I added a new weapon. The mace can rupture staggered enemies. So early access there will include 4 weapon
I'm back, and I was also able to get some work done over the weekend. The spawn logic of the enemies has been improved and extracted. A new mode, "Survive" has been introduced, which can now use the new spawn logic. New Game Mode: Survive In Survive, the player has to survive for
Iterated on the pepper enemy and onion enemy. Playtested the game and started creating tickets for the final sprint towards release. As mentioned, I will be traveling for the next two weeks, so there will be no update next Sunday.
I worked on the first level and the ranged enemy AI. Not sure yet if every ranged enemy will have a close-combat attack. I think I also have to give them some control spells, otherwise it's too easy to close the distance. It needs some more testing, but it's getting there. Starte

As mentioned, not much happened last week, but this week was quite productive. I finished the "Run-System." So now I can just add the levels and modes I have in mind to the system, and it creates the whole run. As mentioned there will be fixed levels with random assigned modes. E
Not much happened this week and probably also next week will be rather quiet since there are some friends and family events which need some time. Anyway doesn't mean nothing happened. Tweaks Equipping a the weapon in front of a NPC start an instant attack. If staggered, the finis
The Next Fest is nearing an end. I said I wouldn't tweak the demo during Next Fest... and then I tweaked it anyway. Here's what changed (also posted on Discord): Tweaking: NPC hit reactions are snappier Hits carry more weight and are now weapon-dependent Mage Stance now also rege
Recorded how to fight through a handful of waves
The demo is released and it's fun to see streamers and YouTubers play the game. Even if not many^^ Some changes were already pushed based on the observations, and a weapon the Discord community asked for was added. I'll drop some information here about the demo and how it continu
Plautest– Feedback Welcome! The current version is still rough around the edges, but that also leaves plenty of room for your suggestions, ideas, and wishes — so don't hold back! I'm particularly curious about performance , since my target hardware is an RTX 3060 / Ryzen 9 5000 s

Preparing for the First Playtest! I'm getting ready for the first playtest! This initial test will focus specifically on melee combat mechanics to help answer some key questions: Do the controls feel responsive and intuitive? Is the game feedback clear and satisfying? Are the ene
