Just realized I left knockback at 30x in the Steam Next Fest build instead of 1x.

Skeletons are basically ballistic missiles.

Could patch it… but watching them yeet across the cave is kinda beautiful 😂💀

Wrote my first Renderer Feature for URP to create some heat distortion for the new lava playfield. Also getting more familiar with Shader Graph in the process. Brick by brick... it's starting to make sense!

Per Unity's guidance, the Fantasy Football Tactics Demo on Steam has been patched with the latest security updates. I highly recommend updating via Steam, and then playing it non-stop all weekend :)

An update to the timer mechanic. (WIP)

⌛️When the time runs out, there’s no escaping the fate that awaits. 👁️

The ancient presence lurking in the cave is awakening...
Red eyes draw closer from the darkness, survival is no longer an option. 💀

Been a while since I shared Dwarfs Descent progress!

Dev’s going strong, adding a new Timer Mechanic ⚙️⏳

Still a work in progress, but linger too long and the level turns on you: darkness, cave-ins, red smoke, eruptions… and finally, it finds you. 👀💥
