please note this is essentially a "Proof of concept" and as such there may be some slight issues. we've smashed the game breaking bugs we've found but there is an unstuck option in the menu if you need it.

Finally got some icons for the craftables and decorations, so here's a little video of decorating the homestead.

Plus weapons. loooooots of weapons. 1H and 2H variants, each with different attack speeds, stamina costs, damage (ofc) and ranges. as you level up with each weapon type you'll get a little faster and hit a little harder.

digging the title screen, and the music helps make it feel like a real game lol.

what do you think?

Tweaking the combat a bit so it feels less hectic and more controlled/Tactical-ish. More options to create and close distance as well as the beginning stages of the magic system... magic will be used for combat, exploration, and even farming.

New demo is live, and there's some pretty significant changes including an intro cutscene, people to talk to, full save system and gamepad support (excluding for the title screen... gotta click that with the mouse) but yea, let us know what you think :D

WIP of the intro cinematic. Still very rough draft... but now we'll be able to add cutscenes and dialogue, to actually let the player communicate with the townsfolk and learn the story.

Exciting :D

The freedom of the crafting and decorating system can lead to some interesting decisions lol. but we figure, if the player wants to, why not? doesn't break the game to let them place things where they want to... and if they make weird stuff, so be it

Reworked some of the farming systems to help a bit with more accurate placement. so now the player can walk when they're tending the garden and the hit locator will change colors depending on if it hits something else or not.

Testing and balancing combat. haven't implemented magic yet, but that will put a whole new spin on it. skeletons are a bit tough for level 1 but it can be done. they're in the 6-10 range.

took all day but it's all in now. every level gives one point in every stat, and your playstyle will affect your characters stats as well. swinging a sword increases strength, hitting enemies increases sword ability, etc.
