The changelog may look small, but a lot of work went into this one. I decided to jump into it, put on the pixel artist hat and make the animations for monsters myself… the game looks much more alive now! The last version was also a bit too easy, so I had to address that. Finally, attack spells are much much cheaper now, so I hope the magic-user classes are more powerful now.
Another visible change is the return of the “Portrait” mode for mobile, it seems a lot of people liked it, since it allows seeing the map and the object inspector all the time, and it can be used with a single hand. I still like more the more compact Chibi UI, but I understand it’s a valid choice if your screen is big enough!

Steam and iOS versions
I keep shortening the list in order to make this happen more quickly. Right now it’s down to two items:
- Idle animation for player. This isn’t simple since it requires building the animation frames dynamically based on what the player is wearing.
- A new trailer, I will remove the animation sequence and replace it all with pixel art footage from the game.
Merchandise
Production of Dumeril statues and the new t-shirts is still halted. I haven’t been able to push neither of these forward, I’m investing whatever little time I have directly into the game development.
