| Update 1.1.0: New enemies and Balance changes | 2024-09-30 | Necromancers, I'm pleased to announce the fruits of your feedback in Update 1.1.0. Most common two items of feedback was the mission difficulty, especially for the event missions, and the game freezing on enemy turn. The game now should feel substantially more fair than before as certain enemy and boss unit's stats were adjusted. NEW ADDITTIONS Human Militia Unit Shielded early game unit meant to soak up damage and distract you from the squishy ranged units. This unit has a Shield Throw ability where he damages your units and shields himself from damage. Human Rogue Unit Fragile but nimble assassin that goes for your weakest link. This unit w |
| Where we are | 2024-05-15 | Necromancers, A 20% OFF sale is going on until 20 May, get it now if you haven't already! With an influx of new players we have now slain 10869 humans and summoned 2596 undead. Which is completely insane - you guys are destroying them! What's up Right now I'm working on a bigger game update than we had before. Content, QoL and balance changes are the main themes. I will be adding more types of enemies, especially in the early game for more diversity. One is already fully complete. All of them will have an active ability and will specialize in a certain role. Mission types is something that I think lacks the most. Ideally I would want each env |
| Update 1.0.9 | 2024-04-05 | Necromancers, I'm happy to bring the regular update during the Turn Based Thursday Fest! NEW Human stats are now displayed in Book of the Living New sprites for crates in Defend and Destroy missions Damage tooltip now has a proper sprite Fixes Typo fixes in tooltips You guys really good at finding typoes Adjustments Event missions Are now easier by about 10 human strength due to a way too big of a spike in difficulty, especially very early. End mission screen Now has more bling to it and has tooltips for newly acquired traits |
| Bug fixes and QoL. Update 1.0.8 | 2024-03-16 | Necromancers, Two most reported and hardest to squish bugs have now been resolved. Units will no longer stand on other units and the game should not hang on round starts. Fixes Enemy units standing on other units On specific conditions enemy used to ignore other units standing on a tile. Now it will properly evaluate possible target locations and choose an appropriate path. Game hanging on round start Game used to hang on round start due to Damage numbers and some UI elements and how the animation was being handled. I've reworked damage numbers completely, it now used more efficient way of animating. Problematic UI animations are now streamli |
| Update 1.0.7: Improvements | 2024-03-10 | Necromancers, We have summoned 1817 undead and slain 3615 humans so far. This patch aims to solve some of the most common feedback - difficulty and fairness. New features Teleportation area Human reinforcement teleportation area is now visually represented by a portal and a marker. All reinforcements will teleport to that area. No more teleports right next to your units. Instant feedback Provide feedback without leaving the game! Class select Select undead unit class while summoning from 3/2/1 units based on difficulty (easy/normal/hard) Adjustments Missions now grant slightly more essence Healing unit injury now costs 1/2/3 essence per week |
| We summoned 1100 undead. Update 1.0.6 | 2024-02-25 | Necromancers, You were hard at work collecting human essence and summoning undead. Collectively we have summoned 1100 undead to fight for us. Some necromancers have already beat the legendary Nemire. With that note, I bring you more updates and fixes. Go harvest some souls. Patch 1.0.6 Fixes: A few tooltip typo fixes Game should not hang on round start when there are a lot of DoTs Adjustments: Adjusted enemy variety for all environments so that every new level brings in something new Healing (from injury) units is now cheaper on Easy Mage's Firewall now additionally deals damage instantly First event mission (Week 5) is now slightly easier Ad |

| Devlog #6: What enemies to expect | 2023-04-09 | Principles of enemy design One of the most important principles is ensuring that enemies are challenging but not annoying, meaning that they should present a significant challenge to the player while still being fun to fight against. Additionally, enemies should be diverse and distinctive, allowing players to differentiate between different types of enemies and develop strategies to overcome them. Another important principle is giving enemies weaknesses that can be exploited by the player, encouraging strategic thinking and planning. Lastly, enemies should synergize with each other, creating challenging and dynamic encounters that require pla |
| Devlog #5: AI and game difficulty | 2023-01-01 | Happy New Year! This Devlog comes much sooner as I was able to put in a significant amount of time during the holiday period. I'm making sure that most important systems are working the way I imagined them to work. Mission difficulty Doing missions under a mission cluster increases human preparedness for that cluster which in turn increases the difficulty and further unlocks next clusters. This will now work together with a new system to select the right enemy units for the difficulty, human preparedness level and time. For those who played the test version - the game will be slightly more challenging. AI Implemented a few different ways an e |
| Devlog #4: Playtest Results | 2022-12-13 | Player Feedback With the end of #TurnBasedFest (https://turnbasedfest.com/) Public Playtest will be nearing it's end. I've gathered a lot of meaningful and constructed feedback. Most Play-testers were mentioning couple of the same things and I have to say - I completely agree. Let's go thru some notable points: Improvements (already done): Camera is now less jumpy and zoomy. During Undead turn camera stays as Free-Cam. During Human turn camera is controlled by the game to keep focus on what is happening. Walking over fire inflicts damage. Previously standing until next turn on fire dealt damage. More tuning on damage required. More tooltips. |
| Devlog #3: Environments | 2022-07-22 | Hi! I'm easing in back to development at full speed. I got married since the last devlog and had some well deserved and long vacation. Honestly, getting back to it was pretty hard but I'm having so much fun working on Nemire. Things done since the last update: Art for Forest zone Forest procedural generation Art for Village Village procedural generation Some polishing Currently in progress is making Village zone to actually look and feel like a medieval village. Environments Game will launch with 4 environments: Graveyard, Forest, Village and Castle. Each environment will be procedurally generated with different rules. Each environment will n |
| Devlog #2: Ability unlocks and combat visuals | 2022-05-14 | Hi! It looks like two weeks is a pretty good time interval for game dev progress. Let's get right into what's new. Combat and Abilities Mage has received some love for Hellfire and Chain lightning abilities, improving how it looks to feel more impactful. Another addition is the Firewall ability. Hellfire This is how it looks with "Damage Cone" trait which also damages enemies in the cone behind. Chain Lightning Firewall With Firewall ability main goals were to create a dynamic tile selection. Right now it is more of a utility ability to zone enemies and feels too weak compared to the other two. Ability and Upgrade unlocks Last few weeks I've |
| Devlog #1: Game difficulties and unit upgrade unlocks | 2022-05-01 | Hi! Past few weeks I've been working on visuals and functionality of the main menus, proper save system and upgrade unlocks. Main objective was to create a Run selection screen together with the flexible save system and difficulty selection. The Run select screen will display some info about saved runs like unit count, essence number and what week was reached. The hardest bit will be setting what each difficulty actually mean. For difficulties I really don't want harder difficulty to mean "enemies have more HP" or "there is more enemies". Here's my thoughts on how difficulties may vary: Difficulties Normal Normal difficulty should provide a h |
