Knock-knock, adventurers!

Another week of development behind us and it’s time to see what we’ve been working on during this time? Let’s go through the list together. Rise out of your coffins — and off we go!

Dungeon maps

Our artists continue working on mapping the local world, and this time their magical hands made the dungeons grow and bloom. It’s hard not to get lost in them, but we’ll do our best to ensure that you don’t lose sight of light at the end of all those tangled tunnels.

Lost ones

It seems we’ve made so many cards that we’ve lost track of whether all of them have their own artwork or not. So when yet another card labeled “in progress” appeared out of nowhere, we quickly (with the help of our artists, of course) created this artwork for it.

Effects

“There can never be too much ice!” — we thought. So we increased the size of the iceberg that appears during freezing to make it more accommodating for multiple enemies. However, it grew too much in the process, and we had to chop it down with ice axes. The things we do for our heroes!

Luckily, our animators found us some fire in the effects library, so we didn’t freeze while hacking away at the ice. But this guy was less fortunate — he ended up with lethal burns, even though he’s a demon.

The update road

And, of course, we’re preparing for the next update — we’ve already assembled a new version and are testing it rigorously to avoid a large number of bugs and ensure that everything we’ve added works correctly. This will be one of the final updates before the release version, so we want everything to be in its place.

Also, new animated cut scenes have been sent for voiceover and the Tarot mode is being expanded, along with a UI being finalized for it. Unfortunately, we can’t take a peek at the work just yet — Mortis is closely watching us after the last time, if you know what we mean…

That’s it for today! Don’t forget to visit us on our social media and send greetings to our team — we always love seeing your comments and suggestions.

See you in the next diary!
