Effulgence RPG News

[p]I'm thrilled to drop my latest trailer:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]What do you think? Drop feedback below![/p]

[p]★★★[/p][p]I'm planning to put them in a new intro/tutorial location. The learning curve is a bit steep right now, so I'm adding a dedicated area to teach the core combat mechanics.[/p][p]★★★[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2][p][/p][h3]1) New demo build with updated controls: v80386[/h3][p]I've just pushed a new demo featuring the refreshed controls and a few quality-of-life tweaks.[/p][p]Versioning follows my retro-CPU theme: 8080 → 8088 → 8086 → 80286 → 80386.[/p][p]If you try it, I'd love your feedback on feel, responsiveness, and key/gamepad mapping.[/p][p][/p][h3]2) Dec 2 launch will be Early Access[/h3][p]I'm a solo developer, and with your help I plan to bring Effulgence RPG to full release in 4-6 months. Early Access lets me deepen combat and refine controls/QoL together with the community.[/p][p][/p][h3]3) Discord (optional) now available[/h3][p]I've opened a Discord server for those who prefer it. It's entirely optional - Steam Discussions still work great but if it's convenient for you, feel free to join.[/p][p]https://discord.gg/sPF5uTcZJP[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for playing the demo, leaving feedback, and helping shape the game![/p]

[h2]From "\[]" and "x" to a 3D column: per-glyph motion, light pass, and a hint of neon.[/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]This new object is now part of the upcoming location.[/h2]

[h3]I opened my localization sheet. You can suggest better wording in your language. [/h3][p][/p][h3]★★★[/h3][p][/p][h2]This is 100% optional. I'm a solo dev and I use comments to catch awkward phrasing. Play and enjoy is already enough - suggestions are a bonus.[/h2][p][/p][h3]★★★[/h3][p][/p][h2]How to help[/h2]
