Here's #Archrebel's Terraworm Pherobloom ability in action. I'm curious to see how much of the challenge this creature will pose.

Just a quick pic showing the 3 new abilities possessed by the Terraworm's (shaman variant), #Archrebel's second alien species.

Thanks, yeah, I tend to do it because the game's UI is optimized for large screens. This helps people who may view videos on mobile devices. Cheers!

I just finished customizing the keyboard with piano notes highlighted in light cream... that is, until my wife said they were actually light pink. Nothing against pink; I just wasn't aiming at it. Being color blind can provide you with some interesting moments. ๐Ÿฅฒ

The amount of trouble this ability gave me while implementing it is nearly obscene. Anyway, this is #Archrebel's new enemy, activating its fission special ability.

Got questioned again about my nickname. Ularis is based on a fictional race I've wrote about long ago for a roguelike. As for Badler, well... I let the image speak for itself. Ergo, 'Ularis Badler' basically ties creativity and beauty in multiple ways. ๐Ÿซก

Releasing a very early demo of the game has resulted in a good many bug reports, but things are improving rapidly. This demo will definitely be coming down right after #NextFest, so if you want to try it, now it that time.

Drawing day... #Archrebel's aliens never had their abilities with proper GFX, mostly because you couldn't control them in the demo... The Gargatule will also receive the new charge ability, represented by the enraged bull. Not an exciting update but an honest one. :)

The Cerebrator weapon for #Archrebel is really fun to play. It uses a focused beam of mumboโ€‘jumbo to cause mental damage to its targets, piercing through all living creatures in its path, and it negates all armor. It even comes with its own set of batteries! :D

Thanks, mate! Your words are more impactful than you might think. Mechanics and QoL features have been my main focus before I release a demo on Steam, which is due to happen this very year, because Archrebel and its players deserve my unconditional respect. I hate broken software...

Gratitude. ๐Ÿป

Finally! I've managed to update #Archrebel to the latest version. Last time I tried to update to v6, I had to rollback. This time, I upgraded to 2022 before successfully moving to v6. A lot got broken but fixable, though I'm still on damage control after 6 days. ๐Ÿ˜”
