- Dev Diary #11: Wrath: The final of the seven deadly sins! - 24 March 2023
The final of the seven deadly sins: Wrath So, this is it, the final dev diary before our launch next week! Exciting times :) Wrath. Was it not Wrath that convinced our avatar Cecil to join the crusade and slay men in the name of his faith before returning to Sinwell? What else could have possessed him to think the deaths of others would be righteous? Or revenge. In some cultures, revenge is seen as a just cause. But isn’t it merely wrath in disguise? And don’t we all get angry every now and then, maybe saying things we regret a minute later, once our rage has cooled off? z The definition of Wrath Ira: Wrath is the uncontrolled feeling of anger, rage, and hatred, that often manifests itself in the wish to seek vengeance. Patience cures wrath. A deadly sin spread across Sinwell As Wrath is such a “common” sin, it is spread across all sorts of different villagers in Sinwell and it may surp…
- Dev Diary #10: Pride: The sixth of the seven deadly sins - 10 March 2023
The sixth of the seven deadly sins: Pride How can Pride be a sin, a deadly one even? Are you not proud of your retro collection, reaching level 100 in your favorite RPG or beating that super hard souls-like boss? Are we gamers especially guilty of Pride? Certainly not! And why should one not be proud of achieving things? The problem comes when Pride makes you think that you are the superior, better than others, not respecting or even listing to other opinions anymore, when it transforms into arrogance. The definition of Pride Superbia: Pride is considered the most demonic of the seven deadly sins, an irrational belief that one is superior to others. Humility heals pride. Waltz with me Even if it is historically not 100% correct - but hey, we are inside of people’s minds - the stage for Pride is an opera house gone ballistic, including a nice ¾ Waltz song to roll with. Mirrors and giant…
- Dev Diary #9 : Envy : Beware of your desire... - 23 February 2023
The fifth of the seven deadly sins: Envy “Does envy not have its uses? If we never sought the good others have, aren't we doomed to misery?” What do you think? Can Envy actually lead to better results? If you are striving for more but the original motive is a negative one - such as the deadly sins Envy - is your outcome by definition a bad one? The definition of Envy Invidia: Envy can be described as a resentful covetousness towards the traits or possessions of someone else, arising from vainglory. Kindness cures envy. Inside their minds In Sinwell some of the villagers are amongst the artist guild. Painters and sculptors are all part of the same community, with the skilled but jealous Hieronymus being their leader. Envy has spread across them and so their minds are a mix between an artist’s studio and a tower - to manifest “striving for more” and thus climbing up or down “the ladder”.…
- Dev Diary #8 : Lust - Happy Valentine's Day ♥ - 14 February 2023
Happy Valentine’s Day! First of all, thank you to everyone who have tried our demo during Steam Next Fest. We had a blast streaming and answering your questions and we're happy that you liked our demo! The demo is still available if you want to fight and discover our beloved Gluttonny... Today, we cannot miss to speak about one of our sins because Feb 14th date is dedicated to him... or almost... Lust! The fourth of the seven deadly sins: Lust No, we are not being sarcastic, it is Valentine’s Day today! This day is about love… and flowers! Or flowers and love, but either way you put it, they are somehow connected to each other so we decided to cater to that cliché. The definition of Lust Lust, Luxuria in old Latin, stands for overly intense longing, an unbridled desire for satisfaction and the impurity of thought. Decency cures lust. The story of flowers and bees In order to not get an…

- Dev Diary #6: Sloth, Demo Available Now, Launch Date - 24 January 2023
First of all, a big thank you to everyone for following our dev diaries and updates! Today is a very special day because... we're launching the Saga of Sins Demo! That's right, you can have a try on the very first chapter of the game right NOW! Enter the minds of villagers guilty of Gluttony for the very first time and cast out our first boss, the piggish Hogissimus! Saga of Sins will be released on March 30,2023. The wait is almost over! Let's talk about Sloth for now! The third of the seven deadly sins: Sloth Sloth is the most deceiving of sins, don’t you agree? What harm could lie in doing nothing? But when you are damned if you act, damned if you don't, what avenue is left but certain damnation? Well, let’s not overcomplete it, a nice dash combo on these zombie devils will make up for being lazy… The definition of Sloth Sloth, Acedia in old Latin, is defined as a lack of vitality, a…
- Dev Diary #5 : Greed Reveal : The second of the seven deadly sins - 23 December 2022
In a striking way, Greed may simply be connected to the act of stealing, but it is more than that and not always so easy to detect. Is Greed not merely the struggle to strive for better? Would you survive the winter, had you not hoarded crops over the summer? The definition of Greed Greed, Avaritia in old Latin, is a sin of desire, an artificial, rapacious pursuit of material possessions and hoarding of objects. Charity cures greed. In Saga of Sins, we decided to portray Greed as catacombs overflowing with a deadly river of gold and waterfalls made of coins. And what enemies could be a better match than bats with a body shaped like a wallet, water devils and, well, gold fish. Even more, in order to hold up a mirror to yourself we have implemented dark coins that will drain gold from your wallet when picked up! Defeated enemies and special evil chests spawn these dark coins. However, the…
- Dev Diary #4 : The third transformation...The mighty Griffin! - 30 November 2022
The mighty Griffin Switch to Griffin This ancient demon stands for loyalty and trust, but is all the more unforgiving when spotting sinners with its sharp eyes. Were it for this demonic creature's appetite for the human liver, our humble hero Cecil would not even feel that bad having to transform into it when entering the minds of the 31 villagers of Sinwell. Once again, you can switch between all creatures on the fly and there will be some optional yet rewarding backtracking. Spread Shot The Griffin features a spread shot that can be upgraded by donating gold to Madonna statues. Upgraded from two to four projectiles at once! This makes him super powerful for combat. So, make sure to collect lots of treasure chests and perform your Power Dash on multiple enemies, as this will make them drop twice as much gold! Wall Cling Only the mighty Griffin can climb special walls covered in vines t…
- Dev Diary #3 : Gargoyle Reveal : 2nd transformation! - 20 October 2022
The fierce Gargoyle Look up! Have you ever stood in front of a cathedral, looking up, wondering what on earth these gruesome demons are doping on a scared building like this? Somehow contradictory, right? And thus, perfectly fitting as avatar for Saga of Sins! “In architecture, and specifically Gothic architecture, a Gargoyle is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing it from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between.” (Wikipedia) But why did the architects not use the design of angels or saints? Well, because these Gargoyles may also scare and turn away evil influences. Just like our fire-breathing avatar, the second of the four Demonic Creatures you get to play. Once unlocked you can switch between the Werewolf and the Gargoyle on the fly. Fire Breath As this fierce demon is…
- Dev Diary #2 : Gluttony Reveal: First of the seven deadly sins! - 21 September 2022
The Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony In order to free your plague infested village, you will need to enter people’s minds to hunt down and fight the seven deadly sins. As our hero Cecil returns to his home village of Sinwell right after the night of the annual founding festival, it is no surprise that the deadly sin Gluttony has yet stricken again. In Saga of Sins, each of the seven deadly sins will be featured by two action and one boss level. The definition of Gula Gluttony, Gula in old Latin, represents an excessive craving for food, drink or wealth. It is the overconsumption of anything to the point of waste. Temperance cures Gluttony. As you can see above, Gluttony manifested itself in the minds of the according sinners as a medieval tavern gone wild! Humans turned into feasting pigs, little devils are swinging on chandeliers dropping toxic liquid and the innkeepers are throwing around…
