Hypersect ⚔️ making Never’s End

Never's End - Dev Diary #2 - Pushing - Steam News In this Dev Diary we explore how pushing works in Never’s End, and how it fits into a larger design philosophy focused on systemic depth and player freedom.

📘 Our new Dev Diary is up!

This time we’re diving deep into one of Never’s End’s most versatile actions: pushing.

From breaking engagement to triggering chain reactions and transferring status effects, it’s a small action with huge tactical impact. 🎯

Are there any artists or games that influenced your style?

"Definitely the Square RPGs from the SNES era, like Final Fantasy and SaGa, as well as Ogre Battle."

Take a look at some of the ground status and how they work! ⬇️

Step on the wrong tile, and it could cost you the fight. 🗡️

Ground status plays a critical role in every battle in Never’s End.
Pay attention to where you stand, and turn it to your advantage. 🎯

Having a dynamic water simulation in a turn-based tactics world was one of the first problems we started working on 6 years ago.

Here you can see what it looked like back then vs. now! 💧➡️🌊

How would you describe your artistic style for Never’s End?

"I aim for calm, realistic color choices and avoid relying on overly fine details, so the designs stay clear when rendered as pixel-based 3D characters."

I absolutely should have added it earlier than I did. Spent a long time with just a topdown 2D view which was far less useful and fun to watch

The world of Never’s End is procedurally generated, so no two playthroughs are ever the same.

This debug view shows our world generation and aging systems in action. 🌍

Meet the Farmer 🌾

Farmers have high Health ❤️ but low Initiative 🚩, making them slow to act, but hard to take down.

They're of the toughest villagers in #NeversEnd, and usually wield Pitchforks, Hoes, Grain Flails, Shovels and Sickles.
