Hello Riftanians!

One thing I am going to start with here is I have changed where you spawn in the beginning of the game!

Previously it was on the beach in Northern Rift's Vertex, now you spawn inside the tiny house inside Rift's Vertex: Rifthaven! You also have to go inside the Inn and recruit Tricia!

I think this will be safer and be more direct on where the player should first be exploring!

Over the course of a few days I have done a pretty decent change to the game in terms of the beginning I think these few new skills will really help filling the gap that I widened between double attacks and Triple attack which used to be obtained way lower at like level 23, now its around 28..

Hero:

Level 18 - Mana Fortified Slash Adds user half of Intellect on top of the Attack formula

Warrior:

ADDED Confusing Smack level 11 to Warrior (Originally only a Berserker Move)

Level 20 - Lash Out - Swiftly attack the target first in the turn order!
Raises Crit chance by 6% for 3 turns! 20% Daze enemy!

Level 23 - Sunder Magic - Deals damage based on the user attack + enemies Intellect

Level 25 - Heavy Strikes - Double Heavy Swing and +10% attack on user!

Mage:

Felt like this one was needed

Reflect Magic Group - Adds Reflect Magic to entire Team + Deflects 20% damage


Other Notes:

Changed Travelling Merchant Shop to be a 3rd Random Rotating Shop with a lot of medium tier armors weapons and skill books and high tier consumables and food!

NERFED Sky HEALER HP Significantly they should no longer make the Sky Watcher absolutely impossible at level 15-25

Without knowing who he was, I had seen Ivan’s work for years: his fantastic portraits are in virtually every game developed or published by Wadjet Eye Games (the publisher of our two adventures, Primordia and Strangeland), and he contributed beautiful backgrounds to Quest for Infamy, another awesome adventure game. When a couple of his scene illustrations came across my Twitter feed back in early 2021, I immediately wanted him to join the Fallen Gods team, and I reached out not even realizing the common ground and friends we shared.

Since then, I’ve discovered why everyone who works with Ivan wants to collaborate with him time and time again—he is the consummate teammate: immensely talented, committed to the common effort, and considerate of his colleagues. One thing that stands out in particular is Ivan’s ability to integrate his illustrations into the other aspects of the game (its gameplay, its sprites, etc.), so that his art enhances those elements rather than detracting or distracting from them.

Ivan's answers and some of his art are below, and you can find more his work on Twitter.


Mark: Like Wormwood Studios itself, your prior projects have been point-and-click adventures like Unavowed, The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, and The Charnel House Trilogy. How is illustrating for Fallen Gods different from your work on those games?

Ivan: One of the trickiest aspects of creating art for games is that more often than not you’re creating small, detached parts of the whole—a floating head for a portrait, a standing sprite of a character, an empty background to be occupied later. This means you have only limited control over how your art would actually look in the end, and a lot of effort goes just into making all those disparate elements mesh together. Making illustrations for Fallen Gods was a different beast—much closer to classical book illustration, it was a welcome change in how much freedom it allowed, both in terms of interpreting the stories, and in terms of control over your compositions, color palettes, and style.

Another important difference was in the role that the illustrations play in the game—the way I see it, they are not there to create a rigid, specific game-space, but to create little windows into the imagined wider whole, to expand the possibility space and to spark the players’ imagination. And each illustrator brought their unique flavor to that shared table, which was always inspiring.


Mark: Many of the event illustrations depict followers, enemies, scenes, items, and the like that appear elsewhere in the game as sprites or backgrounds. How do you approach illustrating those elements so that they complement the pixel art?

Ivan: Drawing characters that would also appear in the game as tiny pixelated people was an interesting challenge—the small sprites stand in for entire groups of people (churls, priests, fighters, etc.), whereas the ones I illustrate are individuals involved in specific events. There’s a clear difference in the level of abstraction there, but the player should still be able to relate one to another to make informed choices. My solution for this was to always take a couple of visual cues directly from the sprites—a piece of clothing, a haircut, a particular color, but change the rest—that way you both get a sense of continuity, and get to expand and enrich the world of the game by showing a wider variety of its inhabitants. In a funny way, it was a bit like drawing fanart for a game you’re working on yourself.


Mark: One of your largest undertakings on the project is a multi-stage victory path involving first a clash between armies, then a battle between the god’s warband and the elite enemy forces, and finally a direct confrontation with a single powerful foe. How do you capture the shifting scale and focus of a long event like that?

Ivan: I wanted to make that sequence feel grand and sweeping, so it made sense for me to think about it as if directing a film, and then boiling it down to a couple of essential shots. So we start with a bird’s eye view “establishing shot” to create a sense of scale, and then go down to the ground, right into the fray. Presenting a scene from different viewpoints has its own challenges—it’s easy to go too far and end up with a disconnected collection of images, but I've tried to anchor them with repeating visual elements and recognizable topography—the fact that the battle takes place on a river helped with that a lot.

Another important part of the cinematic approach was emphasizing the passage of time. Thankfully, as an illustrator you get full control of the weather in your art, so it was only a matter of deciding how it should change to best accommodate the story we’re telling. For that I’ve turned to another film technique often used in animation—making a color script. A color script is a visual way of presenting a story simply through the change of color palettes in the scenes. In our case we move from ominous gray to orange-red, and then to red and black. You can probably tell how this story goes just from that.

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for playtesting our demo and making suggestions and reporting bugs! It's been great seeing what people have been thinking of the game.

This is a very early version of the game, we're aware of a lot of the things that are lacking such as animations, a tutorial, a way to undo actions, mouse selections and better explanations. We're at first focusing on fixing the more glaring bugs before moving on to more quality of life and visual fixes.



Talking about bug reporting and bug fixing, we now have an in-game bug reporting tool! If you run into a bug and you're unsure of what happened you can press Escape to access the options menu and click on Bug Report, it'll open this form that can be used to send us a log of the game and type some information about the bug. This is very helpful to help us find new bugs and narrow down what could be happening by looking at the game log.

Still on the bugs subject, there were some cards that weren't working as intended, mainly equipment cards and a couple of the scroll cards that involved spawning. Those have all been fixed in this update!



Once we solve the last few pending bugs on our list we'll be working on adding more helpful hints to the player on what each action does while in-game, a better explanation of the heroes turn as it happens and a full tutorial that Luis is planning and writing as we speak :) And lastly we'll be working on adding the undo option to more of the actions (Currently the only undoable action is move).



Thanks again! We hope you're enjoying the game!
