New equip-able relic added today designed to give your physical-damage users a high risk, high reward way to double their damage!

Added a QoL feature to the battle log from yesterday! Now it's hidden by default unless it's moused over, should be a bit less intrusive this way!
#indiedev #solodev #godotengine #UI #srpg #QoL
Even more progress today. Development speed has basically tripled since internal playtesting began. It's definitely given me a surge of motivation. I've been making major progress on bugfixing and balancing + compiling a new build every 2 days lmao

Added a battle log today! This gives a quick break down of what abilities are used and how much damage people are taking. It comes complete with a scroll bar, pooled log entries and reusing old entries once you're past 40 to help with memory usage!
#indiedev #gamedev #solodev #godotengine #srpg
New QoL features! A toggle-able grid overlay and a distance measurement appearing next to the mouse cursor! This should make the battle easier to parse in a unintrusive way.

The main pause menu should now support multiple resolutions! While I was making the update I decided to slightly upgrade the visuals and make it so the user only needs to hit back once to get to the main menu!

Experimenting with some fake shadow casters at the feet of the sprites. I think this makes it a bit more clear where the sprites are positioned in 3D space.

The world map is coming together piece by piece. Lots of empty spaces, but a lot of key locations for the main plot are now on the map with a few locations for side content so far as well!

Today's demo is based off one of my favorite magic items in D&D!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godotengine #strategy #rpg #style
Today's demo is the Ring of Body and Mind! This relic rewards a player likes to build their characters evenly!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godotengine #strategy #rpg
Spent some time cleaning a lot of the forced movement related ability code. So here's a demo of bringing a lot of it together. I think the ideal end state of the project has a lot of potential for abilities to work in fun ways like this!
#indiedev #solodev #godotengine #strategy #rpg #gamedev
Another classic ability, available fairly early to the Ranger character: Marked For Death! This ability synergizes specifically with piercing damage, even when inflicted by your allies!
#indiedev #godotengine #solodev #gamedev #strategy #rpg
Today's demo is the Bruiser's Energy Drain ability! This ability heals the user for half it's damage, and gives your tank character a bit of self sustain to keep themselves on the front line!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #strategy #rpg #godotengine
Today's ability: Last Resort! An ability I fully intend for player's to find a way to break. This ability uses the total cooldown turns of every other ability the user has equipped to determine it's damage!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #strategy #rpg #cooldown
Today's ability is Harpoon! This ability can pull a target directly to the user over a long distance, it's shown off here being used alongside the Bramble ability to deal piercing damage to the target as they are pulled through!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godotengine #strategy #rpg
I didn't realize how much I missed game jams! Been working on a silly little platformer which revolves around switching between joy and grief masks. Thanks to OzzbitGames on itch for the character art which I have cruelly plastered a mask onto!
#gamejam #gamedev #indiedev #solodev
Today's ability has no flashy effects yet, but is implemented now: Hyperlucidity! This is the first ability I made which has wonky damage scaling, scaling off the difference of two of the targets stats instead of your own.
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #strategy #rpg
Today's ability: Fire Field! This places a hazard on the ground that deals fire damage when an enemy moves through it. The demo here shows the wizard using gravity well to pull an enemy into the field!
#indiedev #solodev #gamdevelopment #godotengine #rpg #strategy #synergy
Today's ability: Tornado! This ability deals moderate crushing damage in an AOE and pushes damaged enemies away from it's center. Useful for pushing enemies into hazards!
#indiedev #solodev #rpg #strategy #godotengine
True, sewers are a classic, also an excuse to make slime ball type enemies as well!
No RPG is complete without at least 1 nautical encounter! Missing a decal for where people go below decks, and a room for the captain's quarters, but this was a much more complicated model than I usually make, pretty happy with it!
#rpg #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #pirates #godotengine
A classic ability today: Fireball! A large AOE of fire damage the also burns targets, to synergize with DOT builds.
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #rpg #strategy #godotengine
Showing off Electrify! After a delay, this status effect will deal a burst of damage that scales off how many instances of lightning damage the target has taken! Also in the video are Call Lightning and Doublejolt, which each deal lightning damage!
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godotengine #rpg
Strapped for time, so no video, but here's another ability showcase: Finishing Blow! This ability allows the user to act again if it drops the target to 0 HP.
#indiedev #gamedev #solodev #rpg #strategy #godotengine
Today's ability showcase: Leeching Spores! This ability inflicts a status effects that drains the targets health when their turn starts.
#indiedev #solodev #godotengine #strategy #statuseffects #DOT
Part of the Rogue character's build potential leans into critical hits, so here's 'Knife Throw' a ranged ability with less than ideal range, but if it's used towards it's maximum distance it will always be critical!
#indiedev #solodev #criticalhit #godotengine #rpg #strategy
Relics have been fun to make lately, so have another! This dusty old tome is hidden away in a chamber early in the game. Explorative players can find it and equip it to a character for passive health regen!
#indiedev #solodev #rpg #devlog #fantasy
New relic added! The assassin's ring gives there wearer a flat 5% extra crit chance (effectively doubling the base crit chance) just for keeping you SKL stat above your STR.
#indiedev #godotengine #rpg #strategy #solodev
As I've been making abilities to support a DOT build within my game, I started wondering: what are strategies/synergies from other projects that you feel are under supported? I always hate when games let me cast DOT spells but then make bosses immune 😅 #rpg #indiedev #strategy #feedback
Showing off the wizard's 'Soul Burst' ability! This ability, after 3 turns, will deal damage to the target that scales off the amount of status effects currently on the target. I think players who try to lean into this will put up some impressive numbers.
