Dev Update (May 2024)
Hey everyone!
Want to go back to some show, don't tell, so here is a quick glimpse at the past month of progress.
Chapter 5 map:
New weapons with powerful abilities:
New elite enemies, kite and tower shields:
I'm now working on chapter 6, but ran into a bit of a roadblock where all my units are promoting, and not all promotions are finished yet. So to be able to correctly test chapter 6's balance, I will be implementing all of the first promotion tiers (Advanced). So far I have 2 of 14 advanced classes completed. Depending on the complexity, I usually finish about a class every day, so I'm confident I can get all of them done this month.
We got some great feedback during the #TurnbasedThursday fest, and over 200 new followers on Steam! If this is your first update, welcome! Your interest in the game helps a ton whether a long time or new supporter. I'm expecting some interesting updates character showcases in the coming weeks, so stay tuned on Twitter or Discord, or just stick around here and I'll have a ton of new gifs to share. ;)
Thank you all again for your amazing support.
Best,
Eldin T.
