Developer posts and news about this game.
I've been going over a lot of feedback in the month since release, and there were a few complaints that I've seen repeated. My general rule is that if one person mentions something I consider it, but if 2 or more mention it I take it very seriously. I won't always implement exact
Snekromancy 1.0.4 Patch Notes Steam Deck and Controller Support Added Steam Deck display defaults, including 1280x800 support. Added a Large Text option, with automatic large text behavior for Steam Deck-sized displays. Improved gamepad input handling so saved controller bindings
SnekromancY mixes three rather different genres together into something I haven't seen before with Snake, Vampire Survivors and Tower Escape. Read the full article here:
Fixes an issue where pressing the Skip button at the end of an act would put you into an empty map with no focused UI elements, locking the game.
It's been a week since launch and I couldn't be happier with the response from everyone who's been enjoying the game! We're at 93% positive reviews on steam, and it warms my heart to know that so many are enjoying my little game. Especially useful has been the great feedback ever
Watch the developer play SnekromancY!
This is what SnekromancY looked like in its first public build, for Godot Wild Jam #87, after a week of development: Now, 8 months later, we have this: It's actually surprising how much is still the same, although the gameplay was a lot simpler. A huge thank you to everyone who p
A fun update today, if not a huge one! One thing I've often noticed when people play is that they seem sad after combining two minions, that they can't combine again into a 3rd tier evolution. I've always hoped to be able to add this in, and today is the day that hopes become rea
Store and Unlocks Improved store cards so purchased offers remain visible as used slots instead of disappearing. Moved the Unlocks tab later in the store flow and added filters for all, locked, and unlocked entries. Improved unlock row sorting, focus behavior, scrolling, and clai
First of all, big thanks to GL1TCH3D from the steam discussions for their super helpful write-up covering the ascension difficulties, which most of this patch is based on! A lot of it is smaller balance tweaks, but there's a few big changes too. First, I've added the Codex Mortuo
Adds Russian localizations.
We are TWO WEEKS from launch day! I'm very excited to share the final version of the game with you all, but first I do have some bad news. This update marks the first version where I am limiting the game demo. The demo now ends with act 1, but is otherwise a full game experience
My favorite thing about watching streamers play for the first time is trying to guess which "snake" game they'll call out nostalgia for. I think the majority associate it with Nokia phones, although my first experience was probably NIBBLES.BAS that came with QBASIC. Still, I have
There are many other post-next-fest updates, but this one is mine. I wanted to make something nice to reward all the wonderful support I saw during the fest, so this is a big one, almost certainly the biggest update to the game yet. The primary change is the game being split into
There's a lot of little stuff in this patch, but the most important thing is that shops have sales now! Each time you enter a shop, there will be one item that's discounted. This should help you buy all the cool new stuff like snacks! There are also more shops spawned in each map
One of the most commonly requested features is equipment for minions. I've always wanted to do this as well, but was worried about the confusion between items and relics that apply to the snake, and ones that apply to minions. Why would only a snake be able to wear the boots (whi
The origin of "Snake" as a game is a grid-based system where it simply adds a segment to the front and removes one from the back. SnekromancY was built around that core concept, with layers of improvements on top to make it feel smoother, but at its heart it's still a grid-based
This is mostly a balance pass, and there are definitely no easter eggs, because snakes eat eggs so there couldn't possibly be any. Especially not on the main menu anywhere. Changes Since 0.10.2 Rebalanced treasure room loot so treasure rooms still feel rewarding without flooding
Major Additions Added the Cursed Shell relic: removes hunger decay, but spawns an invincible Giant Snail that hunts you each level. Added the Giant Snail enemy. Added Big Gems for every gem color, giving higher-value XP pickups later in a run. Added Big Shield as a stronger shiel
Just a small update today, to fix some translation issues and with some minor UI changes, mostly to allow different translated texts to fit on the screen properly. Bit shout-out to LinuxFriend in the Final Screw discord for testing the French localization!
