Hi! I'm the Lazy Warlock, developer of Lords of Nysera. I make pixel art, collect rocks and grow stuff in my backyard when I'm not making my game.

Part of these fixes include a bunch of work on the Aerial systems and NPCs. AI cleanup has given them more accurate descents in addition to quicker UI switches to view them!

We are finally heading into playtesting mode on Lords of Nysera! Been cleaning up bugs, fixing menus, and tweaking systems with some family members and friends before starting closed playtests with backers and patrons!

Lastly some work on character interactions were also implemented. Restrained NPCs are now able to be free'd which can lead to numerous interactions or even new allies!

Likewise new spells like Hallowed Ground have been added as a ward against undead and monsters.

The lava tiles are now able to spread out, causing some of the areas to become extremely hazardous to traverse. Although there are ways of working around this such as spells that can temporarily solidify the lava so that it's safe to walk over.

Hey got a new update for you all on Lords of Nysera! Been going through a ton of play testing and bug fixing to get a limited playtest build ready to go! On the side though, a lot of work has gone into the underground levels, including some much needed updates to the lava tiles.

One major thing that got a lot of tweaks is the tool known as the Ryuk Darts! These darts can be carried by the flyers in the game, capable of being dropped in a strafing run to hit unsuspecting combatants fighting below the clouds.

Been a bit since the last post on here! A ton of hard work has been going into getting the game ready to go for internal playtests while the final bits of the chapters are wrapped up. Got a lot to show off so expect some more frequent updates and screenshots over here!

Many of the battles feature different groups and factions, each with their own unique goals. Talking with some of them can help give better insight on the battle at hand, or even find potential allies...

In addition, new explosive terrain features have also been added to the game. These Vala Shards can cause some serious damage to any units that wander to close when they are set off!

A new metal! This one is Meteor Steel, and it's actually made of iron this time!

As the name implies it's crafted from meteors, specifically metallic ones which contain native iron. The metal is then folded to improve it's purity.

The newest material from Lords of Nysera, first in a series of 12!

Ash gold, sometimes inaccurately called "Flame Steel", was once widely used by the Iyrvani Dominion to conquer the eastern continent.

Still kickstarting! Check it out fools!
