@frizzoal cool

@ChopChopGames This has such a creepy vibe

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Added a new enemy — a poison marshmallow with a bottle on its back.
Simple to implement, but it changes the gameplay quite a bit. When killed, he leaves a pool of poison behind, forcing you to think more about where you kill him.

Wyrdgrove demo update!

Two locations, two bosses, two weapons — the current demo is finally taking shape.
I also added new enemies, sounds and effects.
The updated demo is now available on https://t.co/lsqgUl9fTG!

Added 2 new enemies to the second biome.
Bombardier attacks from a distance with arcing projectiles and leaves poison puddles.
Summoner stays back and summons other enemies.
The second biome is getting more dangerous.

Wyrdgrove — new gameplay trailer
A top-down survival game I'm making solo.
Two areas, different enemies, weapons and upgrades — and more to come.

I just released the first demo of Wyrdgrove on https://t.co/lsqgUl9fTG.

If you have a minute, give it a try and let me know what you think. Any feedback is welcome.

Almost 9 months of development, and it’s finally playable by someone other than me.

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Finished the main key art for the Steam page.

@LoopCAP_ Looks awesome!

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Today's progress: the main menu is done.
The demo is almost there.
Just a few things left:
Victory screen
Defeat screen
Music
Sound effects
Then I'll start working on the Steam page.
It finally feels like a real game.

Added a rare magnet pickup. It doesn’t show up often, but when it does — it yanks every single XP gem on the map straight to you.

@TheMilkLake Looks cool

[Novira @NoviraDev]

After a lot of playtesting I scrapped the currency system.
Blue orbs are XP now, and the game feels much better.
Healing apples are in too. They stay where they drop, so picking one up becomes a decision instead of an accident

I finished the final upgrade for the Stone Companion. Super Rock now wields a giant axe. Next I'd like to keep expanding the companion system with more evolutions and abilities.

Finally finished the Magic Lantern's final upgrade. It now releases a magical shockwave that damages every enemy in range. Couldn't get the shader working, but I like how the code version turned out.
#MadeWithGodot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #IndieGame

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Added a new weapon: the Magic Lantern. Unlike the Staff, it's a melee weapon that damages enemies on contact as it orbits the player. I'm still working on the visuals, but it's already fully functional.

@TheRealWizar When I first started playing WoW, this is exactly how it looked to me.

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Changed the slime projectile color for better readability and finished the Slime Nova ability.

[Novira @NoviraDev]

Finished the upgrade card system today. Nothing fancy yet—the goal was to build a solid foundation first. Now adding new abilities only takes a few lines of code, so I can focus on creating more content and balancing the game.
