😅 - FINE! YOU WIN! HAPPY?

🎨 - I’ve had a surprising number of testers and comments mentioning they love the debug portraits. Won’t tell you how to activate it, but from the next build onward, there will be a way to unlock MSPaint mode.

Happy Hunting!

@ssoct23 @pauseeffectyt Optional choices between fixed and random.
I think the playtest is set to fixed on easy and random on hard :)

I tried #Dyadem by @NathanielJDev! Despite bad luck with my growths, I had fun with this one! I came in because it looked like #FireEmblem, and left enjoying its approach to tactics RPG gameplay! Give it a try if you can, and enjoy the video!

✅️ - Now that my #SRPG #IndieGame playtest is out and updated, time to get back to work!

🎬️ - It's fun making #GBA #FireEmblem-style cutscenes, The hardest part is now actually creating the writing and stage directions. I swear, developing the conversation engine was easier!

@GetMoreXP I forgot to open up the requests :) You should be in now.

🥳 - The new Steam Playtest Build is live!

I would love everyone's thoughts on the state of the game!

🏳️ - RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!!

The above kinda speaks for itself actually... 🤭
Updated the "Retreat" behaviour in my #FireEmblem-like #SRPG #IndieGame!

In some scenarios you may cause enough panic that the whole army may turn tail and run!

[Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @NathanielJDev]

@GetMoreXP Thank you! I like it just to add a little extra optional flavor to each of the missions.

🎬️ - Cutscene chaining in my #SRPG #IndieGame seems to be working rather well, Here is a clip from the mission that will featured in the new playtest!

Still a work in progress and I still need to smooth out the edges, but all in all I am rather happy with the results so far!

[Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @NathanielJDev]

@WillsSpangler Thank you for the love, I appreciate it!

[Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @NathanielJDev]

🔧 - Updated the classic menu style since the new modern menu recently got a bunch of love!

Also you can also change the diary/menu theme just like #GBA #FireEmblem.
Feels fair to mention since my algorithm starved post in December 2025 only got two likes! 🤣

@GetMoreXP Thank you! ☺️

🔧 - Updated the combat forecast in my #SRPG #IndieGame support the help system!

You can press the help key/button at any point to get a description of any piece of UI you are unsure of...
My hope is to make everything so clear you don't need to search online for a thing! 🤭

[Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @NathanielJDev]

When the inspector highlights option it checks a “ViewHelp” metatag is attached to it and then updates the content, size and position of the help box. I can hand it a pre-made description via a custom resource or hand it something raw like the unit properties, profession or item and it will display everything correctly!
