Work continues on the polishing of the parts that will be presented and played at the event.

General polishing on early areas for the game event demo (that will carry over for Steam later as well)

Defeating certain enemies in ASTHENIA is a decision that matters. The world will be altered, new obstacles will appear, new roaming threats, but at the same time, some secrets will be revealed. How you play and affect the world is up to you! 🙂

A small glimpse of unedited preview. Next month, I will be presenting the game to the public where it will be first chance for locals to play it! (Greece) That build will be the demo one for Steam as well. Stay tuned!

Been very busy preparing for my first physical game event in Greece, where people will be able to play ASTHENIA for the first time! Tons of bug fixing, polishing! Sorry for the lack of updates here, handling work, life, and the game can be a lot.

My programmer friend helps me refine and polish all the menus now, and we are getting full controller support for the demo (and beyond). Meanwhile, I'm fixing some visual issues on scalability/ultra wide and other issues.

These statues that replenish your HP, however, once used, the flames will eventually die out. I am adjusting the flames timeout for each section to have some variety and unpredictability.

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 16d

I'm further developing a system where enemies dying/destroyed will not just reveal secrets but will drastically alter the environment, spawn in special threats, and more stuff will happen! This system will also be available in the demo version!

Much later game locations will take much more effort to traverse in order to access any hidden paths or items, offering more vertical exploration.

Massively updating problematic areas, rebalancing enemies' positions, numbers, etc.

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 21d

Revisiting old areas to update is not always fun! Kind of forgot what I was doing back then but it gives me the chance to revise it in a much better way nowadays.

Trying to stay relevant on social, despite the major lack of attention on the game here or other places, while working on client stuff and the demo! (I'm an old guy who has never been too fancy with social media 😅 ) Polishing major areas and gameplay

Working on it and taking screenshots! I want to think that many of you dev friends do the same while making progress, and want not to only showcase but also keep track of older progress to compare with the new one.

Improving and updating the paintings (they are not there just for decoration but instead, enrich lore and even hint at major story plots).

In preparation for the demo as well as a major Greek physical gaming festival I will be attending soon, work on the game has been non-stop (when I'm not too busy with client work & life, that is),gradually updating my steam page too and preparing lots of new material and more!

I used the advantage of being a concept artist into the game, crafting visual tales that not only serve the lore and the world, but offer valuable hints for the game, upcoming encounters, even some cirtical decisions that will affect the game's routes and endings.
