Surprise! Mostly for myself, because this update comes from an idea I had two days ago.
I tried, seems to work well, so I'll add it! I'll see if I get feedback about it and adjust in case.

New hit animations
I knew the game lacks in special effects. While the environments and sprites in general seem to get good feedback, I know the game is not flashy enough.
So I tried with these new animations. Partly inspired by Street Fighter 6, now all attacks have 2 different animations (for "slash" type attacks and for "hit" type attacks), rendered with various different "brush" effects, that will change color depending on the type of hit (red if you hit HP, blue if you hit the shield, white if you miss).
The original sprites were too big, I then halved the size and I think it overall fits well in the game, even with a different resolution from everything else.
I'm VERY happy about the result, and while I'll need to tweak more stuff, I think I'm on the right way.


Unrelated to visuals

• Slight balance on most enemies stats to reflect the introduction for the blessing Fortify. This may still need some work, but the game was feeling a lot easier.
  
• With the last few updates I introduced quite a few bugs, some more evident than others. With this update I've fixed all I know of, but I'll probably make some more fixing before the next big update.

Hello everyone!
First off, we here at Newcore Games would like to thank everyone for playing the demo and providing feedback in the Community section, in person at game events like TGS 2023, as well as our official Discord. We gathered a lot of opinions that helped us shape the direction of the game, which you can see sneak peaks of in the following video:



After collecting all of this feedback and balancing it with our own goals and expectations of the game, we are going to focus on getting a new demo out sooner rather than later. To do this, the current Devil Within: Satgat demo will be taken down on October 10th GMT+9. Please do continue to give feedback and suggestions in the Community section as well as on our official Discord!

We cannot wait for you all to check out what we have in store for The Devil Within: Satgat.

Welcome to the first "Dev Log" post.
Considering we are near the release date (february) we will be showing some game features you are going to get in the game.

The game has two main modes; ARCADE and STORY mode.
Both modes can be played solo or cooperative.





There are four introductory levels. Each of them is intended to give a framework to each of the characters, and the possibility to learn about their past before being part of the Valkyries.
These levels introduce two different gameplay modes apart from the traditional shoot em' up gameplay: Attack and Dogfight Modes.




After the introduction level this is where the valkyrias story begins, 7 levels where you can upgrade, unlock new fighters and skins.
Earn money to buy new weapons and buy the possibility to ease your progress.
Unlocking and maxing fighters in story mode allows you to use them in Arcade mode.




The objective of the arcade mode is simple…
Avoid being killed and score points to earn a top place on the leaderboards.
Unlimited continues that affects your score and leaderboards depending on your ability.



If you are interested in more information, ask for it!

Next Dev Log we will be talking about the game story.

“See you soon pilots!”

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re excited to open the gates of Armantia to you once again in our Beta for Second Wave. If you are joining us for the first time…

Welcome to the world of Second Wave, where the battle for supremacy is about to begin! Get ready to dive headfirst into an exhilarating gaming experience unlike any other.

Second Wave is a captivating blend of MOBA-style strategy and pulse-pounding FPS/TPS action, and it’s absolutely free to play!

You and your team will engage in intense battles with a variety of game modes, including Domination, Three-Way-Battle and Stone-Grab where you capture or defend arcane stones, and you’ll do so with a cast of unique and charming characters, each with their own incredible abilities and fascinating stories waiting to be discovered.

Whether you’re a fan of the tough-as-nails tank, the fearless warrior, the cunning ranged dealer, the mystical mage, the stealthy assassin, or the ever-reliable support, we have the perfect character to suit your style.

Do you prefer the intense precision of first-person combat or the tactical advantage of third-person view? The choice is yours, and it can make all the difference in your quest for victory.

Get ready for fast-paced, stylish action like you’ve never seen before. Battles will be fierce, strategies will be cunning, and the thrill of victory will be oh-so-sweet.

However, if you’re joining us once again and entering the battleground to get your hands on the Arcane Stone, you’re going to love the changes we’ve made since our Alpha test. 


We have added five new heroes to our roster, all with new stories that add to the rich background of Second Wave and its lore!


We’re excited to introduce the Piole Quarry, a new map in Second Wave, where players can participate in the brand new game mode, Stone-Grab. Stone-Grab is a competitive game of “take it or leave it” in the unoccupied Arcane Stone Quarry!


If you haven’t had a chance yet, be sure to check out the patch notes in our latest Beta Patch Notes post.



Whether you’re new to Second Wave or not, we’re excited to have you join Armantia, but the excitement doesn’t stop there! While you’re playing our Beta, be sure to fill out our in-game survey. By filling it out and providing your information, you’ll be automatically entered into our Second Wave Sweepstakes!
