I'm an indie developer, making a game!

It's been a while since I've posted - but I've been working on adding in the unlocks for beating the game with different characters
Beating the game with the Miner unlocks a chance for Enhanced Cards: granting an additional 10% damage if you pick them!
Check out how they look!

I wanted to reward players who do various achievements, and I now have implemented a way to do this with my meta upgrades.
For each meta upgrade, I have added toggleability for showing it based on achievement/ascension/unlocked!
See below warrior upgrades vs all possible ones!

One thing I try to do is to continually work on my game. Even though I'm not making daily posts anymore - I do work on the game daily!
I use GitHub to track my progress, and I strive for 1 commit / day (i.e. at the least one change to the codebase).
How do you track your work?

I'm pretty happy with my newest ability's look so far,
Purifying Light (unlocked through progression with the Knight class)
This ability deals damage in an area, and will have some unique upgrades such as Dazzle - which draws enemies in!

In Lone Survivors, you'll be able to charge through your enemies as the Knight!
Check out the prototype of the Charge! active ability for the knight! (it was VERY fun to make and test)

I'm happy to announce that ._. won the leaderboard, with a ridiculous score of 387k!
It was an absolute blast doing the playtest and getting to see all the different builds (maybe too many necromancers)!
Check out an example of what the winning synergy looked like,

Nothing too crazy to post about as of late, just refinements and adjustments as I move towards the playtest this weekend!
I added Steam RichPresence, so your friends can see how high level you are in the Endless mode!

Getting coins from chests used to just be them just spawning around the chest and the player having to pick them up like a scrub.
Now, it's a whole lot juicier! Take a look at the satisfying result of opening a coin-filled loot chest in Lone Survivors!
(ty Godot for tweens!)

The newest feature of the Endless mode is Shrines.
Shrines currently offer a random event, intended on adding variety to the endless mode.
They range from spawning elites, bosses, or providing health!
What kind of cool blessing/curses can you think of?

Made a bunch of minor UI adjustments:
- Map markers now say LV^ to better communicate that they increase level cap
- Added an indicator for where chests are if they are out of view
- Made the level up screen a bit more clear with background

Today I had some company over and we playtested the endless mode!
It was really nice seeing people interact with the game, and seeing what things that maybe I thought were intuitive be not so intuitive... and a lot of bugs!

Lone Survivors Daily - Undying Flames
The newest ability to join the roster is the Undying Flames
Perhaps a staple ability type in this genre, this ability just damages nearby enemies over time!
It was pretty fun to make this ability, and it's been on my backlog for a bit now.
