We're on a roll. Another update is ready to go! This update finally increased the base difficulty. For a long time we kept the difficulty low so any jam players could get through to see more of the game. With the recent addition of difficulty settings, there is no need for the de
We've been busy continuing the work started with our last update. The artists have been polishing the attack animations this time. Many have had small details cleaned up and improved. Not as many new features have been added in this release. Movement speed has been updated. We or
This started out as a small patch release. Then we kept finding little things that we wanted to fix and add. There were many small details we were seeing with the new animations that we wanted to clean up, which ended up with us going over all of the walk and idle animations. We
This update is all about animations. We have started adding animations for combat. The systems are in place for more, but currently most attacks will be using a similar cross body slash motion. As we complete the remaining art, we will be including different animations for differ
We have slowed down on how often we are releasing updates, but recent releases have been bigger. This one is no exception! This release again has a lot of behind the scenes changes, but unlike the last two, also plenty of player facing changes! The core of this update is Combat O
This is a pretty big update, though much of it is not going to be directly visible. We did a lot of work on the underlying systems that handle the events in the game and the path you travel. The new systems are much more flexible and will allow us to do more things we have been p
This update builds upon our previous one. We have embraced the comments that say the inventory management part of the game is too tedious and not rewarding enough, and have updated parts of the game to remove it where it is not needed for the new mode. You can still turn it on to
With the end of Next Fest, it is time to take a look at how things went. Overall, it did not go well. In addition to this being Next Fest having a lot more submissions than normal, and a lot of AI slop that turned many people away, we did not have the initial following and market
This is a small update. Based on feedback we have changed some default settings. The tutorial is now off to start, as it is fairly in-depth and the game is pretty simple to understand without it. We also enabled the Abilities use Party Bag setting. With this enabled you do not ne
We did not write a dedicated devlog for 0.16.1 or 0.16.2. They were hot fixes put out shortly after 0.16.0, at the start of Next Fest when we were posting other things. This update will cover 0.16.1-0.16.3. The biggest new feature in this release is the addition of showing Abilit
Greetings to everyone taking a look at our game during this Steam Next Fest. We appreciate your interest in our game! Hungry For Loot is still in active development. We regularly release updates, typically several per month. Feedback is appreciated and we try to implement it as b
At long last we have started to add the in-game Compendium! "What is the Compendium?", you may ask. Well, it is a place where you can find all sorts of additional lore about the world. To start it will show information about local Places, Peoples, and as you encounter the invader
We have been working on Hungry For Loot for almost a year now. While the core idea of Slimes eating loot to power abilities, while rising up to fight an invading enemy, has not changed, a lot of details and gameplay have. The original game submitted for Godot Wild Jam # 83 was mu
Welcome one and all! Thank you for taking the time to look at our humble game. We are writing this as the Next Fest Press Preview is about to start. There are thousands of games to look at in such a short time, and we truly do appreciate that you are taking the time to look at ou
It has been a long time coming, but Combat Overhaul part 3 is finally here! We are finally ready to show off the AP (Affinity Points) system. The Slimes have different types of abilities, with different requirements. Most have item requirements. Some of the more powerful abilitie
This release mainly focuses on music. Previously we had 3 tracks, with 1 for each of the main menu, traveling, and combat. Now, we have a lot more. Many towns have their own track. Most pubs/taverns have a bard playing music. The travel & combat tracks will change over time t
Less than a week and we have another update ready! Things have come together so that it is in good shape to be released before we start on the next big update. We have some new art to show off, along with some new features. We've been working on new art, including different build
This update was focused on restoring the save system. We had saving in earlier versions, but when we added the event system and started transitioning to a more RPG style game, it was not updated for those new features. This update brings an initial save system back to the game, b
This release initially focused on part 2 of the combat overhaul, but while testing and refining it we added several additional updates. Bag sorting has been improved. Additional details have been added to item display. The Credits and High Scores screens have been changed. The in
We are now releasing our dev builds as a Demo on Steam, in preparation for Next Fest. After Next Fest we will be cutting down the amount of content in the public demo builds, in prep for releasing in Early Access. The shorter version will still have enough content to show off the
