Definitely the edgiest game I've made. My partner recommended I lean into an occult theme to make the game distinguished, but I ended up fusing Cultist Simulator with Doom in this case.\n\n@aveezavr Thank you! I was hoping to add more to the combat, but, y'know, time and all. As much as I love cards for their simplicity and readability (and, gosh, the amount of things you can do with them), they take a while to implement.\n\n@toreskovic Maybe after I finish releasing my current roguelike with a twist haha\u2014thanks! For polish, I went with my go-to tool PrimeTween for easy procedural animations, and my newly-acquired Text Animator for the text stuff.\n\n@scoobysnacks Thank ye! The original idea was Cultist Simulator\/Stacklands themed as a dungeon crawler, but early on I thought of this mechanic of dragging weapons around, and it felt very visceral and violent. So I made it!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1158521,"author_name":"Celtican","author_uid":"celtican","epoch":1745778550,"text":"Holy shit I got 4.7 stars in overall.
