Hypermancer 0.0.7 Release notes!

Huge wins for this version!

First big change you'll notice right away is the new artstyle.
I've been experimenting with a cel-shaded visual style to make the game feel more like a "playable growth comic".

This is also a huge win for performance, as this new style doesn't need expensive global illuminations.
The game is now fully playable on lower-end PCs. I can get consistent 30FPS on low-medium settings and over 60FPS with some TSR finicking.

I still wanted to use the...

Dawn of Corruption [0.12.0] Release Notes!

Polish polish polish.

We're in those last few sprints before 1.0, so I've been focusing on finalizing a lot of old UI and mechanics that were never quite there yet.
Game is starting to look cleaner and cleaner.
At this rate, I can see 1.0 happening soon.

We'll see!

Hypermancer 0.0.6 Release notes!

Thanks for playing Hypermancer 0.0.6!

Been working hard this month towards making Rev feel like a living character walking around the ship.

Upgrading him will also change his mood and attitude.

Have fun growing him into a monstrous titan~

Dawn of Corruption [0.11.8] Release Notes!

Hey everyone!

The next DoC build is ready!

Got a big step done towards the upcoming 1.0 release.
Every planned bit of voice acting has been made and integrated to the game.

This means nearly 200 new lines!

Doing all the data and mixing for them made my head spin, but it was worth it.

Cheers, have fun!

Hypermancer 0.0.5 Release notes!

Hey everyone!

This month I've been focusing on making the world outside the main sci-fi area.

Making a big world like that also meant upgrading the slime NPC behavior so they can patrol it and attack the player only when they see him.

I hope you enjoy how it looks! Had a ton of fun working on it.

Winty has also been making music and SFX for the game! It's been awesome to work with him for it.

Thanks again for the support! More excited than ever to keep expanding ...

Hey everyone!

The new release is ready!

I've lost count of how many playthroughs I've made to iterate on the balancing, but it was worth it.

Combat feels much faster, making the choice for your next move a lot more important.

I hope you enjoy the Lost Naga ending too~

This is officially the biggest patch notes I've ever made lmao, big version!

Have fun!

Hypermancer 0.0.4 Release notes!

Hey everyone!

This month's version focuses on establishing the main gameplay flow of the game. You first gain Essence by interacting with Rev, and then spend that Essence on Time Shards to be able to explore outside.

From there, you explore and fight monsters who give you unique resources to use back on Rev.

Thanks again for the support! Really excited to keep expanding this game <3

Dawn of Corruption [0.11.6] Release Notes!

​Hey everyone!

The features I had planned for the Lost Naga became more ambitious than I expected, so it became the main focus of the version.

I hope you enjoy ❤️

Even with the whole Itch-io situation, I plan to keep doing monthly releases as usual.

Exploring sexual themes and identities matters.

Plans for July's release of Dawn of Corruption!

Hey everyone!

For this month's DoC version I was thinking about tackling some of the features that had a lot of votes in the previous feature polls, but didn't quite get enough to win.

Still looking at what I would specifically work on, but I'm considering adding some new scenes that interact with the spawns of Nyx after you have already acquired them. Some new scenes for the Lost Naga would be interesting as well.

I'm also getting some help from a guest writer to make ne...

Hypermancer 0.0.3 Release notes!

Hey everyone!

This one has been so much fun <3

I loved making big foundational changes to the game, and with the addition of the growth beam, I'm starting to have some good ideas of where to take the designs next.

Honestly, this project is such a blast to work on, it's the most fun I've had in Game Dev throughout my whole career.

Thanks again for the support!

Issues with Itch.io Patreon Integration

Hello! Itch seems to be experiencing issues with its Patreon integration, which has caused problems for many users in obtaining the latest DoC version.

So, for now, I posted a direct link in the Discord's release channels.

I'll also be sending the same link to every current patron of the respective tiers via DM to make it easier.

Horrible timing, but I'll do what I can to make it work.

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

Finally got this new version done, sorry again for the delays! This was another busy month for me, but I'm happy to keep pushing DoC a bit further every time.

This version finally sheds some light onto what my vision is for Echo, and what it represents within the story.

Feels great to have his arc finally revealed after having it ingame for so long <3

I hope you enjoy~

Hypermancer 0.0.2 Release notes!

Hello!

I've spent some more time on the Unreal project, and got a lot done!
It's honestly wild to see the difference with last month's version, especially for a one-person team. Projects can move so quickly at the start of production!

I hope you enjoy this one, working on those bench press animations has been a blast <3

Features:

New map, exploring a sci-fi hyper muscle gym concept

Added full NPC navmesh-based navigation.
