Hi! I'm the Lazy Warlock, developer of Lords of Nysera. I make pixel art, collect rocks and grow stuff in my backyard when I'm not making my game.
Been a bit since the last post on here! A ton of hard work has been going into getting the game ready to go for internal playtests while the final bits of the chapters are wrapped up. Got a lot to show off so expect some more frequent updates and screenshots over here!

One major thing that got a lot of tweaks is the tool known as the Ryuk Darts! These darts can be carried by the flyers in the game, capable of being dropped in a strafing run to hit unsuspecting combatants fighting below the clouds.

A new metal! This one is Meteor Steel, and it's actually made of iron this time!

As the name implies it's crafted from meteors, specifically metallic ones which contain native iron. The metal is then folded to improve it's purity.

The newest material from Lords of Nysera, first in a series of 12!

Ash gold, sometimes inaccurately called "Flame Steel", was once widely used by the Iyrvani Dominion to conquer the eastern continent.

Still kickstarting! Check it out fools!

An old, but still useful guide I posted a long time ago for those seeking to learn more about realistic armor designs for women :)

I'll be posting my other three later, for now, here's the section on torso armor:

Oh yeah, my game is also kickstarting soon :P

There can only be one Buji. Buji is eternal, Buji is supreme.

Buji calls from the void. Go find Buji in Lords of Nysera.

It's been a heck of a lot of work, but I'm excited to show off what my game has amounted to so far :)

Couple of my favorite unit sprites from Lords of Nysera! We got veteran sword fighters, brawny brawlers, spellslinging archmages and even rangers with their fluffy hounds (hound not pictured).
