It's been a bit, but I wanted to share progress on the Ostvengr Roguelike project.
There's still a lot of polishing to be done, but it's pretty neat to see everything come together in-game.
Looking at completing a demo in a few months.

Going to be posting the BR Thorn skill animations I worked on over the next week or so.
She has quite a few animations for her stance change, so I'll just be posting one skill at a time without much context.

I've been working on a dieselpunk roguelike game that's essentially Darkest Dungeon meets Into the Breach.
Here are some mockups from development.
There's a long road ahead before they're fully actualized.

The Dredge: Its pilot is a veteran combatant, and her machine is a blood-drenched marvel. It can be called in during combat and will remain in active use even after combat ends. However, this mechanical marvel has a tendency to overheat and needs time to cool.
