The Steam Page is now live for my next game, Wizard School Dropout! View game page Wizard School Dropout is a magic-focused, turn-based RPG and wizard simulator featuring lots of environmental interaction and spell combinations. Using the unlicensed but probably mostly safe porta
Possession v22 has been released. This version just fixes a potential crash that could result when skeleton bones hit a wall between their target and their owner, resulting in them getting stuck trying to path endlessly forever. In other news, I've released a (currently free) pre
A little late, but Possession launched five years (and a few months) ago! This update adds the "Sunken City" special level. This was previously a mod I made to show how modding worked, but since modding never took off I'm adding it to the main game. Also, at this point, I've deci
Possession v20 has been released, fixing a bug that could cause the game to lock up during the final boss fight.
Possession v19 has been uploaded. Occasionally, for some reason, the game would save without the player character being placed on the map, causing a crash when you'd try to load the save. I haven't identified what's causing the problem to happen, but this version does have a fix
Fixes a couple of crashes that showed up on level 2 involving Necromancers and their controlled undead.
V17 has been released. Demos probably won't be updated just for this. Basically the only changes are new settings for resizing the text. UI Changes: New font size and tooltip font size settings. New setting to make the buttons on the sidebar bigger (independent of font size) Game
Possession v16 has been released. Fixes: Fixed a crash that could be caused by a Swamp Witch spell UI/UX Improvements: Pressing the "target" button (default x) while in targeting mode now switches out of targeting mode
Possession v15 has been released. Fixes: Fixed a crash that could occur when possessing piles of bones in the Mausoleum Adjusted how click-to-move handles previously seen enemies, should stop less frequently now
Summary: Due to personal events I've decided to move on to working on new projects, and probably will not be releasing more content for Possession, though I will continue to fix bugs. If you want to follow what I'm doing, you can follow me on Twitter @vaughantay . I don't really
Possession v14 is released! (Full versions, anyway; demo versions still pending) This is mostly a bug fix release. Fixes: Fixed mausoleum and graveyard having their IDs stored as "true" in the game stats Fixed crash on the stat screen from trying to load information on the nonexi
Biggest change this version is the introduction of the Mausoleum as a potential first level. It has the same creatures as the Graveyard (because I think they're a good set to learn the game on), but a different layout so there's a bit more variety at the beginning of each game. C
Possession v12 is now available for download. New Features: Rather than auto-assigning points to your stats when you kill an enemy, you can now choose which stats you want to increase from the character screen. There's a setting to set it back to the old style where it randomly a
Content Changes: Removed the "Adjusting to New Body" condition Levels are now generated 60 x 60 tiles rather than 75 x 75 tiles. This also decreases the number of creatures on the level (but the density is slightly increased) The old 75 x 75 size can be enabled as a "Cheat" (now
Version 10 of Possession is now available. I'm changing the version numbers to reflect the release number, rather than sticking with semantic versioning (1.X.X), because it didn't make much sense. Interface Changes: -The UI can now be scaled from the Settings menu. This only affe
Version 1.0.8 is now available. Interface Changes: - You can use the Enter key on the numpad everywhere you can use the main Enter/Return key - You can now select "it" as your pronoun when starting a new game - (Forgot this one originally) The minimap gets less visible if you mou
A demo for Possession is now available on Steam. It lets you play through the first two floors (including two possible options for level 2), and you can pick up your progress from your demo save if you purchase the full game!
Interface Changes: You can now zoom in and out. This can be done using the scroll wheel, or by using the - and = keys on top of the keyboard - rebindable from settings, of course! Only applies to the gameplay graphics, not the UI (UI scaling is the next project). Modding: You can
Interface Changes: There's now a minimap! It can be disabled from the settings page. The stairs up are now colored yellow in ASCII mode, and have an up arrow attached to the tile in graphical mode. The up arrow is drawn on top of whatever else is on the tile, so if something is s
Small version just to fix some crashes. Crash fixes: Fixing crash from going up stairs as a brainiac or braineater Fixing crash from vase being broken by a non-creature Fixing rare crash that occurred when getting attacked
