Hi,
Alex '13' here. From now on I'm going to post here each 2 weeks.
Our development is divided into milestones - usually 3 months long, and sprints - always 2 weeks long. Since my last post here, we've completed the first sprint of our new Milestone - Town. As usual for our team, the first sprint of a new MS is focused on processing the feedback gathered from the playtests (currently internal, but public ones are coming). fixing non-critical bugs and overall not allowing the technical debt to snowball. Which helps in keeping the team and the development cycle healthy.
The next MS
We plan the following:
- Town building
- Crafting
- Stores and trading
- 3 new maps
- 20+ new spells
- 4 new classes
- Some QoL
- Balance overhaul
- A simple in-game video tutorial

The first guest video
I was a guest on the WizardWorm's channel. A great guy with a cozy and interesting channel!
The video is just me talking about the game. It's in English.

It's new, so it's rough around the edges. We're working on improving the experience.
Screenshots
I will include the usual dev stuff like wip things, test levels, just jokes alongside the proper screenshots. I think it's interesting.
