[p]I'm Ethan, and I've been working on this game for around 2 years now - refining combat mechanics, designing enemy abilities, and - yes - drawing crazy stuff like this: [/p][p][/p][p]Tomb of the Bloodletter is a roguelite with a focus on the meat of each and every turn. Yes, you'll be accruing various and interesting items throughout each run, but you'll need to really think through each battle in order to make use of all those goodies. Here, using an "A" before a "G" at the right time can be just as consequential as deciding between which powers to add to your deck.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to boasting 4 playable characters, 3 unique zones, and over 25 usable letters(!), TotB employs an innovative dungeon-navigation system wherein you make the map of each floor yourself, using (what else?) a word! Want a new ability and an HP upgrade? No problem! Just think of that elusive string of letters that makes it possible! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If all that sounds up your alley, you can actually try it out right now![/p][p]The TotB demo is live, so go ahead, string together some truly cursed words, and see how long you can survive the alphabet soup of doom.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]I've also got some big news , especially exciting as a solo dev![/p][p]I've chosen to partner with publisher indie.io because I've heard lots of great things about them from other developers, and I really think they'll help bring Tomb of the Bloodletter to a wider audience! For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone.
