This patch for Toward Dawn adds some new cards to the optional minigame, as well as new opponents throughout the main story. 🐺🃏✨

I've been working on a randomiser for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, changing up what weapons/pictos you get from enemies, field loot and merchants, which keeps a new start fresh!

Modding is such a fun gateway into gamedev too! ✨

Some players have wanted a NewGame+ mode, so I've been looking at implementing it.

I can very much see the appeal of coming back to demolish bosses in one shot! 🐺⚔️😅

It has been wonderful hearing what everyone thinks of Toward Dawn, thank you for getting it past 10 reviews on Steam!

I've been working on some bug fixes in the meantime. I still can't believe that the game is out there now!

A year ago, I left my work because of burn out and depression. Creating Toward Dawn has been a healing process.

I've fallen in love with gamedev and wish I could do it more. I've got a lot to learn but so much to give.

Thank you everyone for supporting me, it has truly meant so much.

For the last year, I've been working on my own turn-based RPG, Toward Dawn! And it's coming out in two days!

It's really allowed me to dive in to Welsh mythology, learn lots of skills and help alleviate my own anxieties. No matter what, I will cherish it. 🐺

Caledfwlch, the mythical sword, lives up to its powerful heritage - if you remember where you met the Gwraig Annwn from an earlier chapter! 🐺⚔️🌊
