When you lose a mercenary on an expedition, you'll now keep some of their gear. So next time you meet a new merc, you can re-gear quicker.

After hitting a wall with my game not looking any "better" for a few months, it's amazing what a new UI does!

Good graphics are so easily let down by awful UI...

From my last playtest I got this from a friend... Very few things motivate me more than little things like this.

Theres still time to jump into the current playtest round if you're keen.

Im sure that you can make an interesting and nuanced RPG based around interesting and unique fantasy themes, but I'm a simple man.

My game has people in armour with swords, killing goblins...

Sometimes they're classics for a reason.

Indie devs, is it worth having a trailer for my demo specifically or just settling with an older announcement trailer?

β€ͺI spent ages wondering what was missing from my new expedition map that I painstakingly developed...

After a few weeks I realised that I had sprite shadows off...

Boy does gamedev sometimes make me feel like a moron.

Back from a week away, and I forgot everything i was halfway through developing... Week-ago me is an idiot and today me hates him.
