A couple of weeks ago I decided to squeeze in one last major side-quest in #Skald before the game’s content lock. It’s about an hour of gameplay in the late mid-game and it’s low-combat and high on social interaction.

When I started writing it I didn’t really have a strong concept. I just knew I wanted a lull in the action between the bloodier portions of the second and third act. However, as I started writing, the whole thing just kinda came to life and fell into place.

Today I got tester feedback and it was pretty clear that it’s the strongest content in the game. The bitter-sweet realization is that the last content to go in is the best.

It’s not strange: First of all the tools I use to make Skald have been continually maturing and as recently as a few weeks ago I was still adding features I would have given anything to have 3 years ago. Secondly I’ve learned so much as a designer.

The irony is of course that it’s too late to go back and apply these lessons to most of the existing content. Don’t get me wrong: I think the game is really good, but it’s inevitable to get the feeling of “if I could just start it all over, I would make it perfect”.

The upside is that this has me counting days (it’s 24) until I can start seriously planning a sequel!

Now on to kick ass with the final stretch of development for “Skald: Against the Black Priory”!

See you May 30th!

If there is one thing working with @RawFury has taught me, it's that the chance of being the blood-sacrifice at a mid-summer fertility festival is low BUT NEVER ZERO.

After the insanely good live-action trailer of #Skald I wanted to play the game with the most fitting setup.
Win11 based PC in a #Commodore64, beige monitor from #Asus, vintage beige speakers by #Apple, #Amiga tank-mouse to complete the set.
Now I feel ready for the adventure!

For an RPG like #Skald, how do you rate the ability to create and mod content as well as the ability to play fan-made content.

Think of the types of editor tools and resultant ecosystem Neverwinter Nights and the Elder Scrolls games have! Or a bit like RPG-maker.

Spent the week debugging the pathfinding in combat (found at least two big ol bugs), worked on improving combat readability (it can get crowded) and added a sweet "tactical overlay" you can toggle on and off to help read the battlefield!

Oh and there is a CHONKY devlog dropping early next week showcasing some core combat concepts 😊
