Your Dolven Team

When Cecilia confronts MC towards the end of the currently available story, I misspelled a variable, which resulted in a crash.

Good news: should be pushing out an update this week! The sidequest which I have nicknamed the "kill" type sidequest is almost ready, pending a few cleanup tasks and a bit of testing. All the conversations have been written and I have implemented all of the functionality.

In order to go on a quest, the first thing you need to do is find a blinking yellow NPC.

Subtle, I know.

Interacting with them will bring up the conversations screen. I have yet to determine if this needs any major modification, but my intuition is that the answer is no, and it is more or less fine as it is.

Each conversation has a lot of branching paths as explained in Devlog 81.

Everything you learn will be written down in the quest journal.

Still working out some formatting things, but the bones are there.

Finally, actually do the quest. Based on your questioning, explore the surrounding area (or revisit places you've already been (yet another good reason to do the omnivator quests)) and find the monsters responsible for the incidents in the area.

Found them!

These monsters of course will be a little tougher, faster, and meaner than ordinary monsters. Once you defeat them, they will drop their trophies.

Most of the trophies are body parts, so I thought a skull would be appropriate. I might change that in the future...

And finally, return to the quest-giver to receive the reward! I'm still working out how quest rewards will work, but my working idea is a half now, half later system. Based on how you complete the quest (or not) will determine how much money you receive and other factors in the gameworld.

The big idea of the next month or so is that sidequest + sidequest = main quest. Basically this means that the more sidequests I produce, the easier it will be to have the main quest produced, because it will be made up of components that will already be in the sidequests somewhere, with minimal modification. These quests will be ready to try out this week, so be ready for the update!

Hello from the Chaos Bringer design team!

We promised to check in more often, but it’s been a while again. ːsteamsadː

Many of you know our game as one that puts everything into “solo raids.” (And you’re right!)

But if the “leveling” you do to reach those raids is boring, what’s the point?

We want you to enjoy not only the raid, but the journey itself as a complete piece of content. That’s why we’re investing a lot into “roguelike-style dungeon play,” too!

ːsteamhappyːPlease check out the clips below!

This clip shows our in-house “procedural dungeon generation tool.” It’s not just a simple map generator. We’ve developed multiple generation algorithms that operate according to \[Region Mood].

For each algorithm, when you tweak the parameters, you can see the map preview change in real time. We don’t hand-draw maps — we “create” them with this tool. We also use it for a first pass to figure out which default parameters feel the most fun.

Another important piece! We test which combinations of monsters appear according to \[Dungeon Difficulty].

• Which tiers of monsters spawn?

• How large the packs are?

• How many packs are placed?

This tool gives us a first check that the monsters distributed on the map look plausible.

(Of course, detailed balance tuning still remains! ːsteamfacepalmː)

It was impossible to craft all these variables one by one by hand. So we first built this tool (it’s basically a more advanced admin page), and we’re still testing hard to find that “optimal fun.”

Our goal is clear: not tedious level grinding, but a fresh “roguelike expedition” every time.

And at the end of that expedition, you’ll meet “the ultimate raid.”

That’s it from the design team.

Thank you.

• Fixed issue where network IDs would get shuffled causing incorrect equipment or fluids to show.

• Fixed countdown timer not starting automatically

• Now sets default mode type variable if first time playing

• Fixed Power station not being visible when auto-generated

• Adjusted the frequency to which guns can get frozen

• Changes to boss level concerning boss health

• Difficulty balancing on Survival mode

• Added ability to skip Story sequence

• Addresses alignment formatting

• Increase font size on a few different forms

• Support page added to main menu

Finished "Tiny Civilization" and craving more strategic depth? Looking for a more engaging tower defense experience? Come give "Transport Legion" a try!

Here, you'll deploy heroes to fend off monsters—but heroes require resources to be produced. Resource placement, supply and demand, and transportation logistics are at the heart of the challenge.

We believe you'll plan moves wisely and use wits to claim victory in battle after battle!

There's a button in the pause menu to reset your save file. Also several misc changes

G'day, everyone!

Bolt & Whalington is a fully hand-drawn Metroidvania game where you play as Bolt, a Siamese cat embarking on an adventure within the ruins of the Whalington, a massive airship floating among the clouds.

Use the unique “Setting Modifier” to reshape your abilities and even the world’s rules, switch between mech forms to craft various weapons, confront powerful enemies, and uncover the long-buried secrets of this mechanical giant.

The game is still in development! We’re also working hard on the Demo!
