I really like the premise of the game. I think I will try it out during the holidays after our game is released and I have some free time! 😀

Slaves of Magic @slavesofmagic.bsky.social · 21d

I'm glad you think so! Being so close to release, the thoughts of "was it really worth it" sweep in sometimes, but I guess it is just the fear of the unknown of how it will be received! 😅

I hope people will enjoy it when it is finally released. 👍

Yep, it really enables hybrid builds in our case, which I think will be appreciated!

Couldn't stop myself from implementing throwing weapons (javelins and throwing knives) 1.5 months before release. 🤪

They are a weapon class that uses the utility slot, making them ideal for hybrid builds.

Well, sadly, with the look-up tables we are using to archive this, it wouldn't be possible. 😅 It can only change one color to another, but can't create multiple colors from one.

This is the limitation we have to live with, as this enables us to not need to upload all variants to the video card RAM.

Finally managed to implement color variations for the player's units!

The challenge was that uploading the different colored sprites would have taken too much VRAM space, but with smart use of look-up tables, 1 sprite is enough!🤓
