It's the final countdown. Do di dooo doo, do di do do dooo. You know the song! 😀 Speaking of songs I'll be baking the final OST into the game before the release tomorrow. 🚀

My sofa gaming has turned into a brick wall. Enjoying Final Fantasy Rebirth until a boss with a crazy difficulty spike. Moved onto MechWarrior 5:Clans which I was enjoying until missions on "Story mode" became unbearable with difficulty. What is up with this?! 🤦

Not certain if I will be building more large scale games after release of "RelicWar" but I'm having fun building out some new tech which I can use for my future games. Controller support from the start is a priority this time. 🕹️

Fixing the last bug in my game felt super anti climatic but that's how it feels for long projects - "I guess I'm done now". Did some extra bits to round out the game but that's it folks! 🙌

One benefit of no job, I have more time to finish the game completely ahead of release. ☺️ All Relic effects are now functional, introduced new status effects and enemy counter attacks.

It's been a while but the whole tech industry is going up in flames and my job will too in a few weeks. Regardless another update has been pushed out for the demo. 🫠

Quick post before I hit the gym. Another update has been pushed out for the demo. Includes some fixes and more importantly the final ES translation update.

Pushed up a new build for the brand new game mode. Treasure Hunt is a more casual game experience. No enemies, no traps - just pure Relic Hunting. 🕵️

New trap notifications make it more obvious to the player that your Hunter has detected a trap and you have a chance to avoid it! 🧠

I felt the appraisal was missing something for progression, so I've added a notification about your rank progress after Relic appraisal. 🪄

Working on UI/UX updates for this weekend. Also updated the default window size. 1280x720 was looking very dated when I was going through the Steam hardware survey stats. 😃

New demo build today. Added new maps for Shallowlands! Also fixed AI players to not be so aggressive - it's supposed to be a chill game after all. 😅

Expect some small releases during the course of the Next Fest. Anything beyond this one will likely be even smaller. 🙂
