New Website Server

Well, the old server apparently went down for good, which is a bit upsetting. I have been meaning to make a cleaner site for the game so maybe this will be a good chance.

I’ll probably use this blog feature for updates similar to a development log. I don’t want to take any time away from the game to build a site from scratch so WordPress is what we’ll use. I’ve never used it before so it’ll take some getting used to. I kind of like the light/dark theme thing, so use whichever you like.

As I mentioned above I’ll allow account creation and commenting after I figure out a good spam filter.

I might also bring over some old news post from what I can gather via the cache for the old site. For posterity, of course.

I made some new images for this site as well as the game’s IndieDB site, which is now live but nowhere near finished.

I also wanted to thank Twitter/X or whatever it is now for removing so many features from their API. Would have been nice to have a feed with images, but what can you do?


Also would be nice if people without an account could view posts.

I swear I’ve made like 5 or 6 logos by this point and I don’t like any of them.
I went in a really weird direction with these…

This goes for both weapons and shields. Each weapon type has a default sprite, which some weapons having their own unique sprite. The update

  • I remember back in 2018 thinking that I’d have a public release demo out way before 2025. Well it’s 2025 and we’re getting pretty damn close. There’s way more cleanup going on than I would have ever imagined. So many things to wrap up and take care of, especially as a solo-developer. – Dusk Tactics

  • Recently I decided to tackle flying-based movement. If you’re familiar with games like Tactics Ogre, you may recall everyone’s favorite hawkman: Canopus. There’s also the elusive Divine Knight class. What these have in common is they are winged humanoids and thus can both fly and walk. What I always found fascinating was how winged units
