@danielsantalla Being able to draw the water flow directly in the editor sounds really useful. Looking forward to the tutorial!

@daniildesigns I love the idea of music changing with the time of day and seasons. Sounds like a game I'd leave running in the background :)

@louiidev 65k is insane!! Congrats! Hope you hit 100k soon haha :)

What if pawns could fuse and promote in chess?

Meet the Jellu, one of the races in DEVORYA.

A Jellu pawn can fuse with two adjacent Jellu pawns to promote into a stronger piece. But it can’t attack that turn.

@mozza_dev Wow, this looks amazing! Is PixelFX something you can use with Claude Code?

I’m always struggling with effects, so seeing this makes me think it could be really helpful.

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

@dngzsn37461 This is really good advice. I agree that even if you start with just one small part of a world, putting enough thought into the atmosphere, setting, and details can naturally help the bigger picture take shape.

@LoopCAP_ This is really cute!

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

@TheLabaOfficial It has such a warm and mysterious feeling that really reminds me of Spirited Away. The little spirits are so cute too. Congrats on the launch, and I hope everything goes really well!

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

DEVORYA just reached 100 wishlists!

It may be a small milestone, but it means a lot to us.

Thank you to everyone who wishlisted the game and supported DEVORYA.

On to the next milestone!

@daniildesigns Animal movement sounds like a real challenge! Hope you get some well-deserved rest. Sweet dreams!

@Axie_Lotls He's just a little guy doing his best. So cute!

Using items in chess might feel a little unfair :)

But in DEVORYA, resource management is part of the strategy.

Visit shops, grab what you need, and prepare for the next battle.

DEVORYA's Steam page is now live.

@RevivedHouse I really like how much freedom the planting system gives the player. And knowing you made all the assets yourselves makes it even more impressive. It looks lovely!

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

@3m4lkALT @DaniDevYT She's my wife, and we're developing the game together! :)) She's actually a different person from the one you might be thinking of.

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

@alandorgames Thank you so much for your support! :))

Yes! If a pawn absorbs a knight, it can move like a knight on its next turn instead of moving like a pawn. It also gains the unique abilities and traits of the piece it absorbs!

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

What if you could absorb enemy pieces in chess?

That's one of the main mechanics in DEVORYA, a chess based roguelite my wife and I are working on.

Still a lot to build, but we're excited to finally start sharing more of it :)

@ConnorEllison You unlock new piece types during each run :)

Each piece has its own active skill and a random passive. When you absorb an enemy piece, you can use that piece type yourself.

Some boss and event stages also change the board or rules a bit.

[Deang Games @DeangGames]

We've been making a little game called DEVORYA.

It's a chess-based roguelite made by our tiny family team.
This is our first trailer. Still lots to work on, but we're really happy to finally share it. ♟️

@SoulloopGame Thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually think that's a really good point.

We're still in development, and I've been thinking about how to show enemy intentions more clearly so losses feel fair and understandable.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this!
