• Roguelite-Mode Overhaul and New Items - 14 October 2024

  Roguelite Mode Overhaul All enemies are on the battlefield at the start. There are no reinforcements, pickups, or rewards when taking out enemy units. Dev Comment: Most of the features from the former Roguelite mode are a staple in Epic Mode. Now that the battles are standard 6v6, the game mode can be faster and focus more on strategy. Epic Mode EXP Change Epic mode no longer allows users to "Upgrade Equipment", which was a way to buy character levels with earned gold. EXP earned is nearly doubled, but Gold earned after each battle is reduced. Dev Comment: This feature was confusing for newer players because of how unusual it is to see in an RPG. It is an important feature for the more strategy-oriented game modes (Survival, Roguelite) and so it still exists within those modes. New Tier 5 Items After completing the game, there will be opportunities to earn special gems that can be merge…

Battlecry: Increase the Strength, Speed, and Move of units around the caster Always Counter: This passive upgrade allows Cataphract to always counter an attack even if he does did not block it. Knight's Gauntlet Changes Knight's Gauntlet renamed to Cataphract's Gauntlet. Bash ability has been added to each tier of Cataphract's Gauntlet. New item, Cataphract's Armor, can be created from Cataphract's Ga…

• Goals for 2024 - 14 January 2024

  My priorities for 2024: The new version of the game that completely replaces the original will be available soon! Looking like March 2024. All of the details of the new game will be given when it becomes available There will be a new dice minigame available in Epic Mode that rewards the player with items. 8 Months of bugfixes, AI-improvements, and optimizations will be included New graphics for the late-game classes that were added last year I will be focusing on testing the game on more devices and optimizing some loading times. Most of the negative reviews are the result of the game not functioning properly on some players' machines. I will set a release date and focus more on marketing. I will be looking for official reviews as well as more player reviews. There are more jobs and items I'd like to add to the game as well as some super-late-game-content. And lastly, I'll start testing…

• Goals for 2023. Story Mode Revamped - 13 January 2023

  Despite the less frequent content updates, significant progress is being made on the new and completely redone Story Mode There will be less of a focus on generic missions and more of a focus on a linear set of story-mode battles. Currently, there doesn't feel like there is an objective to train or get stronger. I want the player try the next mission, fail, take on a generic mission or two, and then succeed. There will a greater focus on variety. I want each mission to feel different. I will achieve this a few different ways: Enemy or Allied bosses with unique abilities: ones that target all enemies, that target multiple areas, or do other powerful things. There will be more variety in objectives. Defending certain characters, reaching destinations, surviving. In-battle bonuses. Some missions allow your character to gain stats and heal by taking out certain enemies. Additionally, pickup…
