Hey everyone!
I've been thinking about DoC the Lost prisoner since that last version, and how I can turn him into a worthwhile encounter after he escapes the Bastion. I think there's a lot of potential in making him more than just an encounter you can find in the barrens as usual.
I wanna make it so he seeks you out instead.
Basically, he'd find you when you explore either side of the Barrens, and can visit you in your camp if you get exiled.
I'd like him to guide play...

Hey everyone~
Got a new NPC for this month's version!
I've been thinking about the Lost encounter rework for a while now, and in a few this NPC is the first part of that.
He is the same werewolf as the one you defeat in the intro, but has now been imprisonned in the Bastion's palace.
Make sure you visit him often over the duration of the game, as his behavior changes based on how much time he spends in his cell.
I always wanna thank Deriaz a...

Hello everyone!
You guys might remember that I mentioned adding a new NPC to the March release. That NPC will be the main focus for this month's version. I planned to have it finished in March but some family related health emergencies made me miss the deadline unfortunately.
To give some more details on that new NPC, he is the Lost Werewolf that you defeated in the intro. He is imprisoned in the center building of the Bastion and will help you find the way ...

Hey everyone~
Many new assets came in for this month!
It's so exciting to see parts of the game be elevated by sound and visual that way.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
This build also adds some features that were heavily requested for a few versions by now.
Always feel free to let me know whenever you guys feel that something is missing or not quite right, I always read and consider those comments.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good time with this ...

Hello everyone!
First things first, I gotta say, I really appreciate the nice comments on the game recently. I still feel kinda bad about how late that last release came out, but I now have a much better grasp of how to produce the main story of the game. Thanks again for your patience and continued support. ❤️
Next release will expand upon what was established last month, with some alternative solutions to the oasis quest being added. Corrupted players should be able to finis...

Hey everyone~
Sorry again for the delay in this release, still there's a lot of fun new stuff in this build that I'm excited to share.
Hopefully, it will be worth the wait!
Now that the game has well-established encounters, it's time to tie them to the main story.
This is the first pass to implement this idea, where an NPC gives you quests and challenges that lead the player to fight encounters more than once.
The goal is to show the story progression that occurs...

Hey everyone!
Now that the game has some well-established encounters, I think it's time to tie them together to the main story. I mentioned it in last month's dev notes, and so I wanna have something out there for this build.
The first steps will be to break down parts of the intro/early encounters and make them work with the main story. The idea would be that the things you do in the open world should work towards the main story within the Bastion and vice versa...

Hey everyone~
The incubus rework is here!
It's been on my mind for the longest time, so it feels good to finally have it out there.
The Bind also get some love this month. Huge thanks to Winty and Deriaz for his art <3
The bump in quality from their work is honestly super inspiring.
I gotta step up my writing so it keeps up with them lol.
Also huge thanks to MuscleMage for the help on the UI for the last few versions, he...

Hey everyone!
First of all, happy new year!
I hope you all had some good relaxing time during the holidays. It really helped me feel recharged and ready to tackle 2023!
I've been thinking a lot about DoC during that time, about how it's going and when to hit certain stages of production. I always believed that a game like this should be produced in the most agile way possible, where things I work on would be tackled based on what feels right, based on t...

Hey everyone~
Can't believe it's already the end of 2022.
Feels even weirder to think that it's been 3 years since I made this game as a random Twine experiment to my discord with 10 people.
I try to not think about it too much though.
What matters is getting this game done!
For the last release of the year, I wanted to really build upon everything that was added before, while also making the game faster and smoo...

I've been working at towards getting everything settled to hire artists to work hourly for the game. The game needs a consistent output of art, and there's enough work ahead to keep them busy until the v...

Hello everyone!
I've been pretty inspired to work on some game design aspects of the game this month.
As we make more content, it's important to make the game deliver it all in the best way possible, and I feel like combat is an area that deserved some love.
It's been really fun and rewarding to go deep into game design again, I hope you enjoy the new additions!
Thanks again for the support. Stay tuned for more cool stuff coming n...

I've been working on a lot on how the game flows, adding a new control scheme for moving between passages (as pictured) and optimizing the time for passage transitions. The panel under the main window will now show links that were usually at the end of the page, so you won't need to scr...
