• Devlog 4: Design and Story of Lucy, the Mysterious Guide Cat - 2 April 2025

  We'd like to introduce an important character in "Back of Beyond" - the guide cat Lucy. She is not only the guide for the new town mayor, but also a key mysterious figure in Mist Town. Lucy is one of the residents of Mist Town and a devoted follower of the "Alien God Religion." She appears as a white cat with blue eyes, wearing a red and blue dress that makes her look cute, yet she hides secrets unknown to others. In the game, she serves as a guide to help the new town mayor (the player) understand how Mist Town operates and what the eldritch gods demand. When designing Lucy, we wanted to create a character who could both connect with players and convey the eerie atmosphere of the game. If you pay attention to Lucy's dialogue, you'll discover clues about Mist Town's past and her unusual relationship with the eldritch gods. Her backstory will gradually be revealed as the game progresses,…

• Devlog 3: The Judgment of the Dark Gods - 17 March 2025

  Today, we’re diving into the most challenging part of Back of Beyond—the Faith Trial System and the awe-inspiring Dark God characters. Faith Trials: The Key to Survival Every five rounds, you’ll face a Faith Trial—a test from the dark gods. If your faith falls short, the town meets its doom. We’ve designed gods of varying difficulty, from the low-tier “Phantom” (faith requirement: 30) to the high-tier “Mist Sovereign” (faith requirement: 80). Higher-tier gods come with unique abilities, like disabling buildings or doubling replacement costs. Players must strategically build faith within limited turns, pairing followers with buildings, making every challenge tense and thrilling. Visual Design of the Dark Gods The art style for the dark gods leans into the eerie and mysterious, with unsettling visuals. We aim for these designs to amplify the strange atmosphere of Mist Town. In our next de…

• Devlog 2: Daily Life of a Cult Mayor and Card System - 10 March 2025

  Welcome back to the development log of "Back of Beyond"! Today we'll dive into the game's turn system and follower card management. In Mist Town, each round represents a day's work for the mayor (the player). You need to achieve faith goals in limited rounds, or the dark gods will punish the town. We aim for gameplay that's fast-paced and strategic, requiring players to balance between faith accumulation and resource management. Turn System: Each turn grants limited action points to activate buildings and use followers At the end of a turn, new followers are drawn from the deck to fill empty spaces Every five turns, a faith check occurs - you must reach specific faith values to survive You can spend money to cut down trees and expand land, creating space for more followers and buildings Follower cards are the core system of the game. Each follower has their own color and characteristics…

• Devlog 1: The Cult Town in the Mist - 3 March 2025

  We are excited to introduce our game in development, "Back of Beyond." Deep in the layered forests lies a mysterious town perpetually shrouded in mist. The unique geography here, where cold winds from Yellow Rock Mountain mix with mist from geothermal springs, creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The townspeople living in this mist have developed their own unique belief system... In the game, players take on the role of the town's acting mayor, shouldering the responsibility of guiding the townspeople's faith and maintaining the town's operations. By developing the village, arranging follower positions, and wisely using various building facilities, players need to accumulate enough faith within limited rounds to pass the tests of the dark gods. Core gameplay combines strategic card elements and resource management: Use followers (cards) to gain faith and money resources Build and place build…
