First pass at implementing spell loadouts, and changing the spells in each loadout. Players are free to customize these as they please. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

It's been heartening seeing the visibility afforded by the SGF Steam fest with the Black Voices in Gaming subsection. Seeing thousands of wishlists for an array of games. Beatdown City Survivors gained over 1K wishlists this week, which rules. Could definitely use more with launch upon us, lol.
