Weโ€™ve made some neat tweaks to adapt the game for GameNight and keep it feeling snappy. It will even utilize our rollback tech to run your inputs up to 2 frames in the past based on your network latency!

"The grass and dirt terrain blocks were tricky to make. After many iterations to get that hand-drawn sprite look, I think the final result is one of the best executions of that idea in the game."

"Environments pose unique challenges in Neverโ€™s End. With full 360ยฐ rotation, props can block key objects or enemies, so we build spaces with readability in mind, even cutting away walls when needed".

Never's End - Dev Diary #2 - Pushing - Steam News In this Dev Diary we explore how pushing works in Neverโ€™s End, and how it fits into a larger design philosophy focused on systemic depth and player freedom.

๐Ÿ“˜ Our new Dev Diary is up!

This time weโ€™re diving deep into one of Neverโ€™s Endโ€™s most versatile actions: pushing.

From breaking engagement to triggering chain reactions and transferring status effects, itโ€™s a small action with huge tactical impact. ๐ŸŽฏ

Are there any artists or games that influenced your style?

"Definitely the Square RPGs from the SNES era, like Final Fantasy and SaGa, as well as Ogre Battle."

Having a dynamic water simulation in a turn-based tactics world was one of the first problems we started working on 6 years ago.

Here you can see what it looked like back then vs. now! ๐Ÿ’งโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

Take a first look at the concept art for some of the villagers in #NeversEnd, illustrated by @hectnishi.bsky.social! In addition to his incredible concept art, he also works on the 2D pixel art elements of the game. ๐ŸŽจ
