Teragard, a brand-new game from Michael Squirrel, is finally here!
Hi everyone, I have some exciting news to share with you: Teragard, the game that I have been working on since I released Sojourner, is finally finished and has just launched on Steam. Sojourner was my first-ever commercial project, and I learned so much while making it that I wa

Version 3.0 is out!
Yes, the update that very few people were asking for has finally come out! I figured that, for various reasons, quite a few new folks have purchased the game recently or are trying it out for the first time, and they ought to have the best experience with the game possible. Here
Yes, the update that very few people were asking for has finally come out! I figured that, for various reasons, quite a few new folks have purchased the game recently or are trying it out for the first time, and they ought to have the best experience with the game possible.
Here are the changes in Version 3.0:

Made some of the weaker classes far more resilient, especially the spellcasting classes.
Changed the EXP requirements of each class, so that classes will be a bit closer in overall level.
Made the monster classes level up faster than regular characters, as a way to incentivize players to actually use them and to keep the game more balanced.
Increased the initial ATK and DEF of all characters, in order to make the early-game just a teensy bit easier.
Improved the system for swapping between party members.
Made the EXP reward increase if you have fewer party members.
Made the secret character considerably stronger and more-worth using.
Decreased the encounter rate slightly.
Improved the equipment screen. The “optimize” button will no longer change a character’s accessory.
Fixed the resolution and full-screen problems. Now press F5 to enter fullscreen. Or F6 to resize window.
Fixed some typos.
I wasn’t actually expecting to ever update Sojourner again, especially because I am hard at work on my next game. However, I have been learning a lot, and have been aware of a few of Sojourner’s flaws for a long time. It wasn’t toooo much effort on my part to update the game.
So please enjoy these improvements, and look forward to hearing more about my next game, which I’ll be revealing… eventually.

Massive update released! Version 2.0!
Hey friends, I'm so happy to announce that Version 2.0 of Sojourner is out now (and your copy of the game has probably already been updated). Some big, much-requested changes have been made, and the game is extraordinarily better for them. Here are the changes from this latest up
Hey friends, I'm so happy to announce that Version 2.0 of Sojourner is out now (and your copy of the game has probably already been updated). Some big, much-requested changes have been made, and the game is extraordinarily better for them. Here are the changes from this latest update:

Allow the player to resize the window and adjust resolution.
Removed character portraits from the combat screen because it just looked too clunky
Substantially increased the damage of the summon spells
Rebalanced some of the game's harder bosses and enemies
Improved regeneration skills for HP and MP, and made poison more effective.
Increased the power of some skills.
Fixed the music looping badly.
Drastically improved the rewards for collecting all the Skull Medallions
Sorcerer class now learns spells faster.
Fixed a bug where warping out of Jaggo's party would leave the screen the wrong color.
Minor bug fixes and typo fixes.
