On a certain October evening about two years ago I described this game as β€œbanger,” and frankly I would do so again even now. Even now I would add on to that review: β€œsick as heck,” β€œmemorable as heck,” or even, β€œgaming.”

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy?
#gamedesign

New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

Mithrayn dust trails on knockback

Glad I finally implemented some dust trails for when you or an enemy get knocked back in this game. Really sells the knockback; feels more intense.
