• Devlog 8/10/2024 (Unit Types and Stat Bonuses)
  August 11, 2024 by jakey_breaky

  So far in Abscura TPG there are two unit types: Beasts and Anthromorphs. (I’m tossing around the idea of adding another in the future, but we’ll see when we get there lol) Beasts have higher base... Continue reading
• Female Oni (Art)
  July 03, 2024 by jakey_breaky

  A female oni next to her in-game sprite. I have no idea how the pattern on her suit thing works btw, I kinda just threw some shit together based on a 5 minute sketch I made half a year ago. No idea wh... Continue reading

  July 03, 2024 by jakey_breaky

  Optimized the pathfinding a bit by breaking it up into "macro" and "micro" calculations. Basically breaking it up into chunks. Longer paths are calculated on a room by room basis. Once a mob close eno... Continue reading
• Devlog 6/21/2024 (Difficulty Options)

• Devlog 12/8/23 (Biomes 2)
  May 10, 2024 by jakey_breaky

  Biome generation is working as intended. I like the idea of having some of the dungeons have "interior" and "exterior" sections. Like you're traveling through an ancient monastery or something that's... Continue reading

  
• Devlog 12/6/23 (Biomes)
  May 10, 2024 by jakey_breaky
