Oh, and a new character :D Still working on the data entry for her, but the sprite is done (which always takes a bit of time).

A small, but neat little development I've finished recently is standardizing the bug-reporting system now that we're expanding our playtest to more and more people. We've got in-game reporting buttons, forms and even a specialized organizer to keep track of the bugs!

Been working hard on adding a bunch of new features to the levels. First up there is now a new battle hint/augury system that allows players to get potential insights into the current battle!

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.

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!

Of the major changes, most have revolved around the World map and materials/crafting. New units can now be recruited from locations, in addition to them now having unique markets! Likewise most of the items now have recipes to craft them. In addition, the materials now show what they can make!

Time for a Lords of Nysera update! A ton of work has been going on in the background to polish up the game for playtesting at the moment. A lot of focus has gone into menu cleanup especially! Need to make it all look snazzy and feel good when people get their hands on it :D!

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!

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.

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...

And lastly the teleport system got added in! Nothing like a good teleport to skip past all those twisting sand dunes.

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!
