Matt Makes Games

My first game, Artifice, is in active development.

The Artifice demo is now live on the Steam store. 🎉https://t.co/bZMfeYmbkz

The demo contains the game's first four dungeons, and all content and features for that section of the game.

In ⁠#Artifice , you'll encounter various types of creatures throughout your adventure:

🐺Wolfs
🐇Rabbits
🐦Crows
🦂Scorpions

Keep an eye out for them!

The indie game we're releasing soon and three of the inspirations behind it.

@clemmygames We're planning a big graphical revamp to the existing demo of my turn-based RPG #Artifice early next year.

[Matt Makes Games @MattMakesGames_]

@clemmygames Turn-based RPG #Artifice is getting a map visual overhaul. Here's a sneak peek.

@PolySteamGaming @EphiamOricuna I certainly hope my boss designs achieve this. Thanks!

[Matt Makes Games @MattMakesGames_]

A major design principle of #Artifice is that all bosses should be unique, not just big bags of HP. Will you figure out the way around the crystalline salamander's magic reflection?

@TDurdenArt The soundtrack is by @InspectorJShaw!

All living things on Allea are born with exactly two magical affinities and no more. Elia, #Artifice's brawler engineer, uses fire and lightning magic.

@DarkTypeBrandon Glad you like it! There's a demo on Steam if you'd like to give it a try.

@clemmygames #Artifice is a turn-based RPG: save the world from an AI run amok.

The party is invading the Network Tower in order to try to shut it down. Formidable enemies await!

Artifice will have over 150 inscriptions in total. 20 of them are in the demo. Head on over to Steam, wishlist, play the demo, and try it out. https://t.co/bZMfeYmbkz

[Matt Makes Games @MattMakesGames_]

I've been doing a lot of battle sequences. Today, I'd like to show off one of #Artifice's meta-systems: inscriptions.

[Matt Makes Games @MattMakesGames_]

Inscriptions are single-use permanent upgrades to your magical abilities. In this case, Verren's curative spells become capable of healing the stun status ailment, but there are other effects: more damage, adding debuffs, etc.
