We're still a bit too close to launch for me to have an objective view of causes etc, but safe to say Into the Slimy Mines has 28 100% positive Steam reviews, but hasn't done nearly what we hoped sales-wise. So any shares are massively appreciated store.steampowered.com/app/3639440/...

Ahhh! Into the Restless Ruins is coming out a week today✨👀 Worked on this game last year doing vis-dev and style exploration, been given the all clear to share a couple of bits. HYPED!

A mockup screen of the soon to be released game Into the Restless Ruins! Some in game UI, environment styling and how general placement of rooms might work visually is explored here.

A close up of a forge room featuring an early character placeholder design, exploring how much the player might be able to see at any given time once out of building mode and colours working together.

The bad room. A bunch of enemies laid out to get an idea of scale in comparison to one another and the prop sizes.

Concept for a summoning circle rune - how deactivation/activation might look and how it works in the level as a whole.
