Neverlooted Dungeon News

Hello looters,

Here’s the latest news from the depths of the dungeon!

After some slowdowns due to various autumn viruses, the game has finally taken a big step forward with the launch of the second private beta. Below, I detail all the latest progress toward a release that’s getting closer and closer :)




Beta 2 has finally started, with 20 new players. Huge thanks to all participants for their time and valuable feedback. Thanks as well to everyone who applied and showed interest in it.

I’ve already started receiving feedback (YAY \\o/ ) and lot of bug reports (OOHH T_T ). I hope this time I’ll be able to validate everything and prepare the final beta and release :)








This beta version includes an important addition that I had put aside for a long time because I considered it "out of scope": the addition of more NPCs in the game, more or less hidden in the dungeon, that you can talk to. Not only it's a big addition for the story and for enriching the universe, but they also can sometimes even help the player a bit...










During a discussion, Yvain, a friend and rendering specialist, convinced me to try reworking my shaders a bit, especially for skin and metals. And indeed, after some testing, the result were really nice. So I reworked metals, wood, fabrics, skin, and walls, while keeping the "simple" style. It's very nice looking and dramatically enforces the sense of presence. Thanks again Yvain for the advices :)












One important request from testers was the ability to go back and revisit previous levels, to avoid feeling trapped when moving to the next level without having collected everything. Indeed, testers were forcing themselves to continue playing a level to get all when they just wanted to see what’s next.

So, after some tests, I finally validated this idea, and it’s now possible to go back to previous levels. It will now remove the frustration of missing something and having to load an old save to get it. This was pretty quick for me to do since my freshly recoded save system had this possibility already implemented. By the way, Pocket Heaven now allows fast travel to all already visited levels.




To reinforce immersion and worldbuilding, but also to help players orient themselves and build a mental image of the places, I added different types of maps into the levels. Most of them can be carried and equipped in hand, for example you can walk around with your compass to find your way through the sewers. Look at them carefully, they sometimes contains some secrets ;)








Over the past few months, I spent quite a lot of time working on combat to make it more tactical, with stamina management, blocking and dodging, and fairly strong enemies... But not only were there balance issues causing a lot of frustration, the fights also weren’t that fun.

So I decided to go back to the "fun" by adding a "kick to ragdoll" feature. When you do a heavy attack or a kick, (some) enemies get thrown into the environment. Sure, combats are now a bit less difficult, but they also are way more fun, and it works much better with the game’s overall physics-fun design. Knocking a lurker over the railing of a bridge is really satisfying.

As I already started to detail in the last devlog, area 4 (previously area 2, which caused so many problems in beta 1) has been reworked again. I mainly reworked the visuals of the areas to better differentiate them, made checkpoints more accessible, removed some monsters and reduced their difficulty, and added a bit more guidance. The level experience is now way more smooth while keeping it's dark and tense vibe. The pacing with other levels is also much better.






On other things, I reworked the trap difficulty settings, so you can chose how difficult it is to spot the traps and secrets. Here are comparisons for lowest-highest trap difficulty:












As usual, I worked on a lot of other things, fixes, issues, improvements. For instance, I reworked ladders to make them less dangerous to use :)




Like every winter, the demo has switched to (optional) Christmas mode. If you want to play (or replay) the demo with these latest additions, now’s the time to enjoy this really nice snowy atmosphere. Why is there snow in a cave? I don't know, but it's pretty.

I’m going to take a few days of rest during those holidays, then I’ll have a lot of beta 2 feedback to analyze and probably a lot of issues to fix.

I’ve already started finalizing the last levels (which shouldn’t need major changes).

Then I’ll validate all texts and prepare all the documents related to translation, validate the language I that will be available for release, and start looking at competent translators that don't use AI, really read the localization guidelines, and answer to dev requests.

I should also take some times to improve the game performances, notably some area still have fps drops that need fixing.

After that, it’ll be time to prepare the final beta 3 :)

Before release, I will also try to find an artist (old-school RPG black-and-white ink specialist) to replace the last placeholders that are still in the game, and maybe even create some new cool art for the intro and some in-game elements.

Finally, with the excellent Alexandre Sciré, who composed the original soundtrack, we’re working on preparing an official OST that should be available for the release.




That’s it for today, I wish you all happy holidays and a Merry Christmas, and I hope you loot lots of presents!

[p]Hello Looters,[/p][p]A few days ago I published a long overdue big demo update to include the latest changes from the full game. Also, like each years, you can play with an Halloween Special mode. [/p][p][/p][p]It's been a while since the last demo update, and I finally took the time to make a new build including the latest features and improvements of the game. This include, but not limited to:[/p]

• [p]New lighting and shadows. Finally play the game in its best looking shape. Do you like the new lighting and soft shadows ? Give me your feedback ![/p]
• [p]A new puzzle to solve in the tombs, to help you wait the release. Will you solve it ? Will you share the sinners fate ?[/p]
• [p]Re-balanced combats & stamina. After a too easy and then a way too hard versions, what do you think, are we finally in the good spot ?[/p]
• [p]A lot of visual improvements, including new wall textures.[/p]
• [p]Completely reworked save system & profile system, more robust, faster, no more lag when saving![/p]
• [p]A lot of under the hook things, bug fixes, changes, including more graphics & difficulty settings.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It's that time of the year again, the Halloween Special demo is back for a limited time! If you want to play or replay the demo with an Halloween theme, including a dangerous Pumpkin-Mototovs weapon, start a new game and enable the Halloween special mode.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]I will detail this more in the next devlog, but the pickable map system is now fully implemented and really cool. You will find several maps or various types, for instance navigate the sewers with hand draw maps of past looters, or use an handy evacuation plans to look for paths and ... secrets rooms ?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To make combats a bit more physics-fun, I finally implemented a "kick to ragdoll" feature, i.e. the monster switching to a "ragdoll" state when it receives a too strong physics impact, for instance from a footkick. It's pretty handy to keep those vicious "running zombies" out of reach.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Arnaud [/p]

Hello looters,

Here’s the latest news from the depths of the dungeon!

Summer’s over, and it’s time to double down to finally release Neverlooted Dungeon. In this devlog, I’m going to talk about the progress on polish and the latest level I’ve been working on, the last beta, which unfortunately went pretty badly, and other tasks that are less flashy but just as time-consuming and essential to make sure the release goes smoothly.




First off, let’s start with what went well this summer. I worked on the next levels, particularly level 5, codename "temple." And… oops, I did it again…

You see, the level was already solid, and I was supposed to just do a quick polish pass. But, since part of my brain was stuck on the disappointing beta results (more on that below) and I needed time to let my thoughts on solutions simmer, I started working a bit more than planned on this level. Specifically, an idea that had been nagging at me for months: what if I added a little outdoor area to this level in a pretty cave… And, well, things kinda spiraled from there. I massively reworked the level with a ton of new content. If visited a particular place in France recently, or played Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring, you may recognize a few inspirations.



But rest assured, it wasn’t time wasted, quite the opposite. I genuinely think this level is now the best I’ve ever created. I find it gorgeous, varied, with a strong theme and an awesome atmosphere, fully explorable interiors and exteriors, tons of secrets, and fun puzzles. There are rarely seen features in such games, fully explorable roofs, breakable stained glass for alternative entrances, and tons of surprises. Honestly, I secretly hope some of you will consider this the best level you’ve ever played. No big deal. But maybe I’m getting a bit carried away, we’ll see what the feedback says at the next beta (more below).

To whet your appetite and help you wait a bit longer, here are a few screenshots and a modest little video montage to give you a taste of what awaits in this luminous temple… with a few dark corners.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]






For years, the game has been played, replayed, re-re-replayed, etc., by active community members whose help and feedback are incredibly valuable. But it had been a while since I’d had fresh players try the game in its current state. After weeks of prep work, including balancing, difficulty tweaks, bug fixes, etc., I was super confident about the beta and included a discreet little registration form at the end of the last devlog to accept about twenty applicants.

I was so confident about the beta that I might’ve even considered releasing the game in early access as it was. And then, the cold shower. Over 70% of players dropped out during or at the end of level 2! X_X Ouch ! At least, I'm glad it wasn't the game release, that would have been a disaster.

Before all, I want to deeply thanks all playtesters for their participation, and a particular shootout to those who filled a lot of forms, and also to some who even took the time to record their playtest, that I slowly but surely watch. This is all very valuable feedback, so thanks again.

As I said, I had set up feedback forms for players to share their thoughts on the different levels to figure out what worked and what didn’t. The problem? Most of the players who dropped out didn’t fill out the form, especially for level 2, despite my many follow-ups. Maybe I didn’t clearly enough set expectations for feedback at the start of the tests. Luckily, I had set up (anonymized) analytics tools to track level events and understand what was going on. Thanks to the forms from those who did respond, some recording, and an in-depth analysis of game events, I tried to pinpoint the issues behind this massive dropout.

Looking at analytics, this player died way too much (red spheres is death) than it is expected for that level, showing a probable issue with difficulty.



Here you can see a player missing one secret, so if players miss too much checkpoints or valuables items that will increase difficulty even more.



So, it seems I made several mistakes. First off, since the players who were used to playing were Neverlooted Dungeon veterans, we completely missed the difficulty issue. It looks like the jump in difficulty between level 1 and level 2 was massive, leading to huge frustration and dropouts.

Next, I had recently reworked the attacks of one of the early-game monsters, the "zombie," to make it run and jump at the player. But it was poorly balanced, and players were terrified, with the zombies being way too hard to kill.

Also, in level 2, some checkpoints were a bit hidden, and a lot of players missed several of them, meaning that on top of dying a lot, they had to replay a long stretch before restarting, which increased the frustration even more.
Finally, some feedback also complained about the atmosphere being too oppressive, the level feeling a bit too repetitive, and the objectives that could be a bit more clear.

In short, a pile-up of issues that created major frustration and a mass exodus. It’s a shame because the two next levels were all well-received by those who made it that far, mostly rated "extremely fun" on the forms.



So, I spent the whole summer thinking and experimenting on this problematic level to better decide what actions to take. As it happens, for months, I and other testers had been thinking that this level would work better later in the game, so players would be more prepared and it would fit better narratively. My solution for the next beta is to move this level later and rework the levels, narrative, and balancing to account for it. I’m also working on fixing the raised issues, especially the repetitiveness.



Other issues were brought up for the levels, particularly level 3, which is very open and could leave players a bit lost. Since it’s now level 2, it was even more important to guide the player a bit more while still giving them a lot of freedom. For example, I started reworking the objective’s clarity and added a (super cool!) village map to make it easier to navigate. Look at this, so many shops to loot! Guaranteed* treasure!





One of the levels still had some framerate instability because certain areas were denser than others. And the temple work with its massive outdoor area led me to improve my custom scene-streaming system by adding partial data loading. This doubled performance on the temple level! Now I need to apply it to optimize the other levels even further.




This polish is taking an eternity, and believe me, I’m the first to be sorry about it. I really want the game to come out so you can discover everything I’ve poured my heart into (and also so I can rest a bit -_-'). But making a game of this scope, with so many features and content (15 to 20 hours of gameplay), takes a ton of time. Especially when you run into critical but random bugs.

For example, during testing, I regularly had testers report suddenly losing the ability to interact. But it was always weird, some interactions were sometimes partially possible. I spent days trying to figure out what was going on. In vain. Until one lucky day, a player sent me a save file where the bug happened consistently! After a deep dive, I tracked down the culprit! Turns out, some objects were occasionally clipping through the floor, especially objects created when others were destroyed (like bits of debris when you smash a crate). Well, those objects would fall through the ground and accelerate so much that their speed became near-infinite, causing Unity’s physics system to freak out due to floating-point imprecisions.

Since all my interactions are physics based, they started to be broken. For instance, here you can witness the physics raycast missing the book and the table in front of the camera and hitting the ground instead (the green ray with the white cross), making it impossible for the player to interact with them.



And yet, I had a system to prevent this, but some objects weren’t properly initialized. So, I spent two solid days building a robust system to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In these conditions, it’s always tough for me to announce a release date when I know I could stumble on issues like this, whose fixes can take anywhere from a few seconds to several days, like this one.


I’m working on the next beta, which will again be open to new players, hoping this time my changes will be enough for the vast majority to finish it while having a good time and discover that famous temple I’m pretty proud of.

So, if you want to sign up, if you’re ready to spend some time filling out long boring forms to tell me what you liked, and especially what you didn’t like, and even more so if you rage-quit the game and never want to play again, here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeRiJdKlmvF-nMP23tNMx75PKZwsVAVIlBAjEFZdM-bVisFA/viewform



Time’s flying, the end of the year is approaching, and I have serious doubts the final release will happen before the end of 2025. But there’s "not that much" work left, so the release could still be close. It all depends on the feedback from the next beta, if everything goes well and we don’t need to make massive changes again, we’ll be almost there.

See you soon,

Arnaud

Hello looters, here is the news from the dungeon’s depths.



First, let me reassure you, the project is well and alive. I know I don't communicate enough about the project, and some people have started to worry it may be abandoned. But don't worry, the game is not done, but it's no longer far from it. I’m sorry I’m still not able to organize my time correctly to give news more consistently.

Why is this taking so long? Well, the whole issue is that I (naively) decided to make, alone, one of the most complex genres of game. An immersive sim dungeon crawler demands a huge amount of features, variety, and content, and all of it needs to work in symbiosis to deliver the intended experience. Cutting things isn't easy, because the cooking requires precise care, and removing something could break the desired experience. But after all that time, most systems and content are done, what’s left is polishing, balancing, and wrapping it right.

I hope this big update, along with some new screenshots and videos, keeps your interest alive. It's coming together, slowly but surely. :)




In fact, I recently "completed" the polish of the first half of the game. The levels all reached my goals in terms of content and design. Sure, there are still a few issues here and there, that I correct regularly based on the playtester feedback and bug reports. And even if there are still a lot of things I would love to do for those levels, I'm proud of the result. Half the game is now locked, no major rework planned, and will now focus on the other half of the game.

But wait, does that mean we need one more year of polish for the other half? Well, it should be faster. First, most of the polish I did was global and affected all aspects of the game, so the second part already was improved. Then, the first levels needed more work, whereas the other levels are already very close to final. So there is "not that much" to do to reach the release candidate. After that, there will still be "incompressible time" for localization and a few other things that can only be done when the game is ready.









Here are some gameplay clips of the game, showcasing various environments and features. Note how the first sequence, looting the trapped tomb room, is solved in two different ways.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]




In addition to correcting the design issues raised by testers, notably the castle main flow (thanks a lot Alban for raising them!), and adding "more sand" (i.e. gaming situations, see previous post), the first levels were improved in several ways. One nice little addition is the ability to break some of the wall tombs, or stained glass, that reveal a few secrets here and there.

One of the other important things I added to the first levels is a few "classic puzzles". Even if the game is an "immersive sim", meaning that there should always be several ways to progress and overcome obstacles, and so that "closed puzzles" are a bit contrary to this design philosophy, I still wanted to add a few of them, mainly for "flavor" and storytelling. Plus, some of those puzzles can, in fact, be overcome by creative ways without solving them.










Hidden in the dungeon, there are several "optional challenges", that reward the player with some trophies. For a long time I was struggling to find a good reward for them, that would not break the gameplay balance or make them almost mandatory to progress. But still, I wanted to reward you enough to get you motivated to find them.



After some prototyping, I recently added the Pocket Heaven. It's a totally customizable personal place, with an entrance next to the shop, where you can do some housing, stash your stuff, and rest a bit. It comes with a creation wand, to place objects wherever you want, a customization wand, to change for instance the carpet or tapestry colors, and a destruction wand to clean. Finding enough trophies will unlock that place, and finding more trophies will unlock new rooms and customization capabilities.

One of the room when you first enter it:




Making some space:


Placing objects:




My new room:


This feature is still under evaluation, meaning that I still need more playtesting and thinking to fully validate its integration to the game, notably on its effect on the game pacing. But currently, not only this is extra fun to create your own personal space and organize your loot in it, but in fact it creates a particularly welcome rest, after some stressing exploration of the dark trapped dungeon, so the break of the game flow could actually be a good thing for pacing. Plus, some testers already love this feature so much they would hate me if I removed it... ^^

The good thing is that this feature was particularly easy and quick to do, so its current impact on the planning was really minimal, but it brings a lot of value for players, and a lot of possibilities.

See the feature in action (there is still a little work to do for visuals and sounds):

One of the game levels I'm currently polishing has a strong link with lighting (well, it's called "The Temple of Light"), and to polish it visually I started to work a bit more on some lighting techniques. While most of the dungeon is dark, this one has really intense lights and needed more than the standard lighting.

So, I finally started to experiment with some "global illumination", a way to have light "bounce" and create nice dim lights in concave places. This technique has a really minimal visual impact on most levels since they are mostly in darkness, this is why I didn't really look after it for a long time. Here are some results, what do you think ?





Also, I adapted a "soft shadow" shader asset to make it work with my own shadow optimizer to have nice soft shadows, and I love it. My two concerns are first, obviously, to get a minimal impact on performances, at least to have settings to tweak it, with no cost for low settings and high end PCs can make their PC heat the room for winter. The second is that it slightly changes the visual style. I'm really fan of those shadows, but sometimes I wonder if you, the players, who liked a lot the "old school vibe" of the current style, would also like those soft shadows. Here are some comparison screenshots. So, what do you think? Is it a good direction?

Comparison before (hard shadows) and after (new soft shadows):







Here are more screenshots of the new shadows:








A lot of attention was also given to quality of life improvements. The shopkeeper now offers a (paid!) recovery service, in case you die and have a hard time recovering your previous corpse to loot it.



The wand usage has been improved, notably player inputs. Some wands capacities have been extended, and you will have a lot to enjoy with them.

The difficulty settings now can customize the penalty of dying, which is how much your inventory is damaged after dying (or dying again before recovering your corpse). This add a nice level of tension for people looking after some challenge.

After some time, I finally decided to add an (optional) quick save system. Even if this goes a bit against the core design, notably because dying is fully integrated and part of the game, you can enable quick save at any time, after I display you a big warning message telling you you should not do it. That way, if you want to have fun, or for accessibility reasons, you can use it, and enjoy the game the way you want.

Finally, the "no spider" option finally replaces them with another monster, so you can enjoy a spider-free game while having a challenge.




Like always, a lot of work can not really be shown, as it's debug, refactor, solving issues here and there, improving this or that. Notably, I did a complete refactor of the save system, for better performances and flexibility. This was done months before the Pocket Heaven feature, but this save improvement actually made it possible to code in a few minutes the ability to save the whole housing system.




You still there? So, you might be interested in this. I'm looking for new beta testers. Not just people who want to play early, but people ready to deal with bugs, give pertinent and honest feedback, and help move the game forward. Recording your playthrough is a big plus, especially with webcam on, so I can watch and analyse it. Slots are extremely limited, because I don't want to be drowned in feedback I can't process. To be clear, I’ll give priority to the most active people on Discord that already have shown an interest in helping, notably by providing feedback. It also comes with a simple NDA; you’ll agree not to share content publicly. If you're just curious to play, better wait for the final release, to play the polished and complete game. If you're interested, register here, and you might be in the next tester wave.




So, the game is not done, but it's no longer far from it. I will continue the game polish on the second half, improving the game based on feedback. Then will come the localization, and other release stuff.

Hello looters, here is the news from the dungeon’s depths.



First of all, let me wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and most of all an Happy Dungeon Looting.






The sound of hammers echoes in the depths of the dungeon, where I continue to work hard to prepare for the release of Neverlooted Dungeon. You probably already guessed it from the current date, the game will not be released in 2024 as I had planned. But I have not been idle, the game has progressed well. I even played last year’s version before writing this post, and the gain in quality is palpable. I tell you again, it would have been a shame to release the game last year, without these improvements.

In this end-of-the-year devlog, let’s review some of the major work accomplished in 2024 and discover my latest work.




This spring, I created a lot of new textures, using the amazing Material Maker software. I created a large number of textures for floors, walls, tapestries, stained glass windows, paintings, sculptures, and other decorative elements. This decorative and narrative elements really make the game more interesting to explore.












This spring too, I added several new monsters. Not only does this add some welcome variety, but their inclusion also greatly improved the atmosphere of the levels, making them feel more alive and immersive.









Some of the tested monsters didn’t made it to the game, for instance I decided not to include this cute gelatinous cube.



This is my last creation. If you love to devour books, know that in Neverlooted Dungeon the books also love to devour you :)






This summer, I focused on the creation of the game ending, in particular to make it an interactive playable scene. I obviously can’t tell you anything about it, but I put a lot of effort into it to reward looters who will reach the end. I had to create a lot of elements to do it, it took some time, but I’m very happy with the result.

I even added hidden alternate endings and small variations to reward the smartest among you :)

The ending is almost in its final state, but I still have to find a voice actor to dub the voices, because I want it to be fully voiced. I have already received quite a few applications but, as always, recruiting someone always takes me a long time.




This fall, I have thoroughly reworked the behaviors of the monsters so that they finally can fight each other. Why? Well, attracting one enemy to another can be a good way to get rid of them. Also, the rat summoning flute or the charm wand now allow you to give attack orders, which makes them even more useful. Do you want an army of rats to devour your enemies? Well, you can! Besides, the charm wand allows you to do really cool things in the last level, will you be able to discover them? ;)








For the past year, I’ve been in the “polish” phase. The game is complete and playable, and with each version I improve different aspects according to certain priorities, whether it’s visuals, systems, level design, difficulty, narration, bugs, etc., until I am satisfied with the result.

To do this, I created several custom evaluation grids, and with each iteration I play and evaluate the whole game, and I define the improvement priorities for the next build.

For example, one of my current priority is a level design task that I call “add more sand”. Indeed, with all the systems and gameplay, the game is providing a large amount of “toys” to be played in the “sandbox” levels. But I find that some levels still lacks situations of use. My mission is not only to continue to improve the levels on various domains, but above all to ensure that they are all largely provided with interesting situations with which you can exploit the great possibilities of the systems.

For example, but not limited to, more situations for climbing, searching, burning, breaking, physically interacting, sneaking, disarming traps, etc.












In the last devlog, I already presented you my work this spring of the whole rework of the level 2. And as I was working on the level 3 for my “more sand” update, I was still very bothered by the fact that this level structure was not exactly what I wanted.

Indeed, for a long time this level was supposed to be two separate levels. Two years ago I had started to slit it in two separate levels but I had to put this project on hold. Then, this summer, I went back in this direction with some “extensions” of the level, to include the “must have” elements I had in mind, but also to test if the level split was still doable. Finally, this Fall, after a few day of prototyping the level split, I re-dedicated a few weeks on it to re-do it in depth and finally create the two levels that I had in mind from the start, using the different versions of the level, its extensions, and the stuff on hold. And now that I have finished this task I am really happy with the result, as I was also able to “add more sand” as I wanted.









These new levels are now really solid, and this task ends my “major rework” tasks. I still have minor improvements of the other levels to do, but nothing as radical as a complete rework.

With all these changes, I sometimes think that it would be interesting to publish one day the different versions of the game in a kind of playable making of, where you could play the various versions of the game with some dates and explanations, to discover its evolution. What do you think?




Among the flaws criticized in the game, it was often the combat that came up. I spent some time to correct some aspects, in particular on the reactivity of the inputs to chain attacks and parry. There is still work to be done on the balancing of stamina. Do not hesitate to tell me what you think.




I worked with Alexandre Sciré on the music, in order to give him relevant feedback to finalize the soundtrack. I also created new mixing and fading tools to make the loops as invisible as possible and further enhance the immersion.




As always, a lot of bug fixes and various improvements. In this regard, I would like to thank everyone who take the time to report bugs. I was a bit behind in support and a major bug was reported over 40 times in September! I finally released an update to fix it. Please continue to report bugs, I always end up fixing them :)




The demo has exceeded 178 reviews, and they are 99% positive! Thanks to everyone who left a review! If you didn’t yet, don’t hesitate to do it to help. I read them carefully to know what you like and what needs to be improved.



All these positive reviews confirm that my particular game, mixing several genres and influences of classic games, seems to convince you, and I am working hard to make the rest of the game live up to your expectations :)

LEAVE A REVIEW -> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1394770




This fall and winter, it was the occasion to re-enable the (optional) Halloween-special and Christmas-special versions of the demo.

If you missed Halloween … change your computer date ;)



The Christmas special is still available throughout the month of January !






Finally, here are a bunch of screenshots to show you a little bit of what awaits you in the depths of the dungeon.


















There’s still work to be done before release, including level improvements, final texts and localization, voice acting, some illustrations, optimization, debug, and finishing up small additions here and there. I won’t risk giving an approximate date anymore, so it’ll remain “I’ll release it as soon as possible”.

Thanks for reading this long devlog. See you soon, Arnaud
