- Daily deal and Gods vs Horrors release - 5 May 2025
The Ouroboros King is participating today in a Daily Deal with its biggest discount ever: 50%. If you have any friends who don't own the game yet, this is a great opportunity to tell them. Additionally, today I'm releasing my second game Gods vs Horrors. It's similar to TOK in being a deep strategy roguelike, but in this case, it's about making the perfect build instead of tactical execution. Here's a link in case you're curious: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2994240/Gods_vs_Horrors/
- Modding Beta & Gods vs Horrors in Next Fest! - 24 February 2025
Hi everyone, My collaborator IngoH has been working on enabling modding for The Ouroboros King, and we’re doing an open beta to test the system. To join you need to own the game, and then go to Steam -> right click on the game -> properties -> Betas -> introduce the code "octavius2468". Mods can be used to create new pieces and you can find the mod documentation here. I suggest starting with text mods, you can use this one as a template. If you encounter any problems, have questions or want to share your mods, you can do so on my Discord. Additionally, Gods vs Horrors (the game I’m currently developing) will be participating in Steam Next Fest this week with an upgraded version. It’s a roguelike that only cares about your build, with lots of deep strategy and meaningful decisions coupled with some randomness to make it spicy. Cheers! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3079080/Gods_vs_Ho…
