Developer posts and news about this game.
Hi everyone. There was no devlog for a long time this time, and there is a simple reason for that. I had a lot going on in real life. A home renovation, mostly - because of it, today is the first time in a month that I could sit down and work properly on devlog. And there was a l
So, this time there was no devlog for a month because I was resting after crunching for the demo. I just wasn't recording devlogs - the work was still happening, and it's back to its usual pace now. Here's what's been done so far: New quests - or rather, their update. They were w
A new devlog is live! In this one I cover two big things: the Alchemist demo is officially out, and the game now has an in-game compendium - a built-in book that explains aspects, spells, potions, and the alchemy systems right as you play, so you're never left guessing. Watch the
Steam Next Fest is here, running from June 15 to June 22! It's one of the biggest weeks of the year on Steam - thousands of free demos to try, developer livestreams to watch, and the perfect chance to fill your wishlist before the Summer Sale. The Alchemist demo is live and ready
The demo is available right NOW! It's essentially almost a vertical slice of the game - a few mechanics are missing, but you can't put everything out at once... Still, the overall flow and roughly how much of it is there should be clear. I'm really looking forward to your feedbac
Hey everyone! In this one, another friend of mine playtested the game, and he finished it even faster. Mostly because instead of spending all his time criticizing every little thing, he actually played the game. He wasn't really testing it - he was just playing through it. Unfort
I’ve registered an Instagram account too - so now, alongside TikTok and YouTube, I’ll be posting shorts there as well. There was a bit of a pause recently... but I’ve decided to start posting consistently again across all platforms. I optimized tile interactions: now area-of-effe
This time, I've added a new skill. It was originally designed for the wolf... and for a whole pack of wolves - which I'll talk about in a bit. The skill itself is pretty straightforward... it's a melee ability. You can see how it works on screen. Right now it's level one, so it's
I improved the save and load system as well. Now it runs through a separate thread, which means that even if the scene becomes quite heavy, freezes will be minimal, and loading times should be much smoother. I also reworked the collision system. I made a design mistake earlier -
This time, I added the ability to hit your own allies - and actually removed the whole concept of "friend vs enemy" altogether. Now everyone sees everyone, even if an enemy is considered a friend by another enemy, or friends are friends with each other. It simplified the code sig
Hey everyone. Over the past two weeks, I've fully integrated the dialogue and quest systems, and also tied character behavior into all of it. Now everything works properly. I can assign any behavior I want to an NPC at any moment, so you could say the integration is almost comple
This time, I worked on the house system, added interior lighting, and even implemented peeking through the windows :) I also introduced a time system, making lighting depend on the time of day, shared some project stats (Steam, Kickstarter), and talked a bit about what I'll be wo
In this devlog, I showcase a major update to the Alchemist core loop. The cauldron visuals have been improved with new lighting, colors, and background assets. I've added a secondary control panel for managing transfigurations, switching aspects, undoing steps, and accessing reci
In this video, I'm showcasing the current finalized version of the Transfiguration mechanic. This video focuses primarily on the visual update and a few additional Transfigurations. For more detailed information, check out the devlog
I'm talking about the Transfiguration mechanic - it's basically finished and about 80% complete. There may still be small refinements, but the majority of it is already done. I've finally completed the lion's share of the Transfiguration mechanic. As before, you still need to fil
In this devlog I talk about: adding collision avoidance for NPCs, optimization for large resolutions, the Steam page finally going live, localization details and wishlist info - and finally, the last core mechanic of the game: Transfiguration!
