For today's #screenshotsaturday I present to you
the corruption of the raccoon pike.

I'm launching a first public playtest on Steam very soon, so if you're interested in measuring your wits against this guy stay tuned!

Been in a large bugfixing-trying-to-get-stuff-ready-for-public-playtest hole for a longish time now, but I'm getting close!

Enjoy this boss minion with the working name Cogo ⚙️

One of the most interesting and fun things about playtesting is the ways other people manage to break the game in ways I couldn't have imagined.

My brother sent me this the other week

Thanks for hosting #turnbasedthursday!

Save the Forest is a isometric pixel-art tactics roguelite.

Currently starting playtest of Act 1 of Save the Forest in preparation for a demo later this fall!

While waiting for my code to compile I'm making corrupted enemies for Act 2

What do you think?

here's the unsynced version:

Synced or non-synced animations? I can't really tell what looks best. I'm planning on making it an option in-game but wondering what to use for the default (unsynced version in reply)

Just want to say this was the first result when searching bluesky for "cursor gauntlet" and it's a reply to a AOW1 screenshot? is this what finding your people is like?

for context this is my game 😂

Added small character portraits next ot each name since I kept forgetting which unit was which during playtesting 😅

Ended up with this corrupted variant after some feedback!

Thank you!
Got similar feedback on reddit and yeah, I love the idea:

Looking for some honest opinions!
I'm making corrupted versions of the enemies (with a purple-ish theme for corruption) and I*m wondering if something like this looks mostly lazy or kinda... cool? Let me know what you think, and how you would improve it!
