• Release! (v1.0)
  December 01, 2024 by QuinnCG

  This marks the "final" release of the game for the game; barring any last-minute bug fixes. There are numerous tweaks and balance changes as well as several new secrets ... Continue reading

  
• Leaderboards (v0.25b)
  December 01, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Just as the title says. I've added a simple leaderboard system. The image just shows the debug version... Continue reading

  
• Improvements (v0.24b)
  November 30, 2024 by QuinnCG

  A number of small quality-of-life changes... Continue reading
• New Area (v0.23b)
  November 30, 2024 by QuinnCG

  This update adds a whole new area to the game; winter-themed. The screenshot is of the new boss, the Festive Yeti... Continue reading

  
• Another New Boss (v0.22a)
  November 26, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Here I've added the Overgrowth region back into the game via the new layout system. I've also added a WIP boss for the Overgrowth. I plan to add some more abilities to the boss and of course, he will... Continue reading

  
• Tutorial (v0.21a)
  November 24, 2024 by QuinnCG

  The game now starts you in a tutorial section. The tutorial teaches you the barebones basics (and is missing some crucial aspects; like staff durability). Aside from that, there's also a new variant v... Continue reading

  
• New Dungeon Layout (v0.20a)
  November 23, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Instead, of randomly generating theoretically infinite dungeons, I've changed gears to a more hand-crafted approach. When a floor is loaded, a handmade layout will be selected, then the rooms in this... Continue reading

  
• New Boss (v0.19a)
  November 22, 2024 by QuinnCG

  The Palace region now has a boss fight! I'm currently looking into how to rework the dungeon layout system to avoid issues with it taking a while to find the boss or you finding it instantly; you may... Continue reading

  
• New Floor (v0.18a)
  November 19, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Still a work in progress, of course, but it's not too far off from where The Palace (the red and initial floor you find yourself in) has, in terms of content. A number of small tweaks were made for ba... Continue reading

  
• Spikes (v0.17a)
  November 19, 2024 by QuinnCG

  To avoid the players backing themselves up against the wall in some rooms, I've added spikes. The visuals might be changed in the future... Continue reading

  
• Floor Exit Sequence (v0.16a)
  November 18, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Currently, you just go back to the same floor but in the future, it will choose a random floor (that isn't the one you're leaving). The actual visuals for the hole will need to be updated. For one the... Continue reading

  
• New Enemy; Status Effects (v0.14a)
  November 17, 2024 by QuinnCG

  First off, new enemy. A bit hard to see here as he's in his max fiery state, but that blob of fire in the top middle of the screen is the new enemy. He's made of wax and thus a candle. Very much WIP a... Continue reading

  
• Staff Pick Up Sequence (v0.13a)
  November 14, 2024 by QuinnCG

  A little animated sequence that plays when the player picks up a new staff they've found. Soon I'll add to this sequence an actual transfer of durability between old and new staff; this way if the pla... Continue reading

  
• Crosshair Charging (v0.12a)
  November 13, 2024 by QuinnCG

  1

  A number of small polish-type improvements. I also, finally, added crosshair charging to the UI; this means staffs with a charging feature will show the current value of the charge inside the crosshai... Continue reading
• Chest Polish (v0.11a)
  November 12, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Nicer chest art and opening FX; that's all. Oh, and a hat... Continue reading

  
• Mana (v0.10a)
  November 11, 2024 by QuinnCG

  You now have a mana bar that depletes with every spell cast. It regenerates rather quickly after a short delay of no casting. The idea of this is to act as a semi-reload mechanic and to have more bala... Continue reading
• Chests (v0.9a)
  November 10, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Some rooms spawn with chests. Press 'e' or 'f' to open them. A chest will have either a randomly chosen staff in it or a heart that heals you. Red hearts heal for 1 HP and golden hearts heal for full... Continue reading

  
• Fallback Staff (v0.8a)
  November 09, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Now when your staff runs out of energy, you swap to a fallback staff that has infinite energy. Also, whenever a staff, you have, loses all its energy or if you pick up a new staff, your previously equ... Continue reading
• Staff Durability (v0.7a)
  November 08, 2024 by QuinnCG

  A few tweaks here and there and staff now has durability, displayed in the top-left corner of the screen as a purple bar. You can't use a staff when it's out of durability. In the future, I will add a... Continue reading
• Combat (v0.6a)
  November 07, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Rooms you haven't conquered yet will lock you inside and trigger the enemy AI to begin attacking you. Once you kill all enemies in the room, the doors will unlock and the room will become conquered. A... Continue reading

  
• Bug Fixes (v0.5a)
  November 06, 2024 by QuinnCG

  There are some new sound effects, sure, but this update was mainly centered around fixing bugs and consolidating the backend architecture... Continue reading
• Fireball! (v0.4a)
  November 05, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Among other things, the player can now cast fireballs... Continue reading

  
• Projectiles (v0.3a)
  November 04, 2024 by QuinnCG

  I added a number of things this patch: ambient sounds, hurt VFX, hearts, etc. However, the highlight is definitely the projectile system. And while it's not complete, for instance, it's missing homing... Continue reading

  
• Art (v0.2a)
  November 03, 2024 by QuinnCG

  The environment art style has been largely worked on in this update. It definitely needs more props and I haven't experimented with pits the player can fall into (abyss/lava/acid), but the general sty... Continue reading
• Dungeon Generation (v0.1a)
  November 02, 2024 by QuinnCG

  Added a framework for character movement. Both the player and enemies share a core movement backend while having their own scripts specific to them. Added dungeon generation on a macro level. The actu... Continue reading
