[NOTE (JUNE 9TH, 2025): THIS PAGE IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD. THIS GAME IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALMOST NONE OF THIS IS ACCURATE ANYMORE. i'm leaving it up for posterity, but please be aware that what eventually comes out in several years' time will be *nothing* like what's shown on this page.]

Absolution is a story-focused post-apocalyptic bullet hell action RPG. The game takes a common theme, the idea of a journey across a magical kingdom, and modernises it into a form that is new and refreshing.

You play as the powerful magician Katsu, and along with your gang of adventurers, you will forge bonds, journey across the lands to take back the throne, and learn the truth of what really happened on the day the world was destroyed.

Can you come to terms with the truth before you reach checkmate?

Probably should have mentioned that you can press F4 to enter fullscreen, F5 to exit fullscreen and Escape to quit the game

Fixed the issue. The installer now shows as a Windows installer file rather than "unknown platform"

I don't know why it's showing as "unknown platform", the build is an installer for Windows

The first build is released!! For Windows only, although I will fix that when I make more builds (and when I work out how to export stuff for anything that isn't Windows)

I haven't made any updates to my build because I'm waiting until I can get the full version of GameMaker Studio 2. I'm doing that because I'd like to see what people think of the first build, and you can tell me what to improve on!

waiting for the day when a post on this devlog gets more than 2 likes

I'm thinking the game should have 6 bosses and 6 areas (one boss for each area). I've already finished one boss, I need to make the battle handlers and an overworld test room.

Also, the first build is ready for release. Did I mention that?

New player sprite! It uses the main colours of the game, red and blue!
