I saw one of the Never's End articles describe it as pixel art characters on 3D backgrounds, but everything is actually fully 3D modeled and pixel perfect. It has taken years and years to make it this clean. #neversend #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

We’ve made some neat tweaks to adapt the game for GameNight and keep it feeling snappy. It will even utilize our rollback tech to run your inputs up to 2 frames in the past based on your network latency!

We’re stoked to announce that INVERSUS is part of the newly launched GameNight multiplayer collection on @amazonluna.bsky.social 🎮

Round up your friends and start playing by using your phones as controllers!

"The grass and dirt terrain blocks were tricky to make. After many iterations to get that hand-drawn sprite look, I think the final result is one of the best executions of that idea in the game."

"Environments pose unique challenges in Never’s End. With full 360° rotation, props can block key objects or enemies, so we build spaces with readability in mind, even cutting away walls when needed".

The world of Never’s End isn’t just procedurally generated. It’s simulated. 👨‍💻🗺️

Every system and every action shape the world around you, and no two journeys are ever the same. 🌱

📘 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. 🎯

#gamedev #indiedev

Read it here 👇

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.

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."

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! 💧➡️🌊

Behold our debug view of the full world. We have all sorts of neat visualizations here where we can assign the displayed color and height to different world properties.

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. 🌍

Temples were humanity’s link to ancient magic. 📜
Now, they’re mostly ruins.
The Fire Temple is the last hope in a world swallowed by the Never. 🕯️
