The January status update will unfortunately be a bit delayed. Long story short had to reinstall EVERYTHING on my computer. Just getting up to speed now and studies have to be priority one.
Thanks for understanding!

I think I stumbled upon a really interesting way to create animations. Dabbled a bit with it as a improved visual for the Apostles teleport.
Feel free to weigh in what you think of the animation!

I've received some feedback about the boss fight and fixed a few bugs, so hopefully it will be less punishing if you fail to dodge an attack now. Pushed the patch to Itch.io!
Thank you for reporting the bugs people!

It's time to get spooky!
I pushed an update to the game to Itch.io.
This is not the full demo, but will most likely be one of the last patches before the demo is ready. Please do check it out and drop your feedback on it! 🎃💀

I cleaned up the graphics a bit for the relic "Revenant" which spawns homing exploding skulls whenever you take damage. I found the old version to be too big.

Spooky season is almost upon us, and I figured Throne of Marrow desperately needed some Halloween haunts.
I'm planning to have a few seasonal decorations strewn about, but also a few permanent passive and active items based around it!

Still a few loose ends to take care of. But after that I will publish a test version over on Itch.io. This is not the full DEMO however, that is still in development, but I wanted to get a more up to date version out for y'all!

Still very much a work in progress. But I am pretty sure this is the final "layout" of the boss room.
Also the floors might not always be under your feet, exclamation marks temporary to show when they become unstable. Stay alert!

I was updating the text for interactable objects so it makes text less blurry overall, and decided to give the entrance/exits some love. So now there's some nice god rays spilling out of them!
