Special thanks to XICX for all his testing and support.


This build focused on annoying bugs and improving quality of life. Before making new features we focus on killing as many new bugs as possible or already existing bugs. We want to do this to improve the quality and improve player experience.

Special thanks to XICX for all his testing and support.

- When you die and choose new game you aren't frozen anymore.

- You can now properly load the game from a save file.

- The camera now properly goes to the correct room when loading a save file.

- Fixed a couple broken physics colliders in the save room corner, so no more falling into darkness.

- When picking up a new item the item box is in the top center of the screen. The box that tells the name of the items you picked up.

- Fixed the start screen text from overlapping the load box.

- Fix some issues you player goes through stairs and gets stuck.

For this one if you find any stairs you get stuck in please comment here and report it so I can fix it and maybe rewrite the physics formula to detect stairs.

Added a small box with the speakers name in it, so players can see who is speaking. Going to start showing off some smaller work in progress stuff starting now up to the first alpha. Each post will be focusing on one change for the first alpha.

Alright after a crap ton of time we found a UI artist that can do pretty good. This is early Work in progress. We will release the next update when we get two menus screens done instead of waiting for all the UI to be completed. Look forward to it.

Started on the interior for the tavern. The tavern will be where you get quests and can gather information from NPC you made friends of. The tavern NPCs are just stock placeholder art for now and will be replaced later with more custom art.

Started making a mini diagram to show each region and the connections between them. This way people will have a semi direction hint before the map system update comes out. There are more regions not shown. Note this doesn't include the fast travel system.

While working on the first full Alpha build, I decided to start adding a little bit of NPC dialogue and other stuff to start making the game feel somewhat alive during the early alpha stages.

Got volumetric lighting working with my custom shaders. Will need to tweak some settings and working on the castle environment lighting now. Pictures are with and without the lighting enabled for the player and throne.

Mini Dev Blog 6 - Ambience VFX/SFX and Settings Menu Update. I started to add some VFX and some ambience SFX for parts of the game. The main thing left before finishing alpha one is the settings menu for controls, graphics, and audio.

Here are some more NPC art. Next week we will have the character art for the town people started. One of these animations is just for small detail when entering the library randomly. Would be boring if every character only had one type of idle animation.

We got our new throne for the save rooms in the works. Hope you guys enjoy sitting on your new demonic throne every time you need to save. We are making animations for the character sitting on the throne soon. Hope you guys enjoy the upcoming update.

Just a little teaser of wip art for the upcoming library area. Going to have a new background made so the contrast looks better, but for now I am enjoying it. Do note will be uploading a gif within next couple days so you can see the animated objects.
