Probably not gonna make a boss fight actually, something's wrong with Kill Legion and I don't know what it is, my motivation levels are in the shitter and nobody likes the game for some reason. I'm gonna redo the blood splatters and drop one final balance update before making something else instead.

Honestly Kill Legion is starting to feel really mechanically complicated. I'm constantly figuring out ways to make stuff easier and more streamlined so I can fit more mechanics into the game but I might've put too much stuff into the game. I may have to axe a feature or 2.

Small update coming out today, and then I'll start work on a boss fight. Hell if I know when it's coming out, college is slowing me down down and I'm just waiting for some group project or test to come up and skullfuck me to the point I won't be able to work on Kill Legion.

Spent the last 2 days playing Caves of Qud nonstop and lost a 2-day long run after getting one tapped by some random mob in the Palladium Reefs, I also have college tomorrow so I think I'm gonna kill myself.

Experimenting with a way to explain smaller mechanics like armor in game without a full blown tutorial or guide using a sort of mini tutorial.
Hopefully this make the game easier to pickup, not sure how it looks though.
You can read the mini-tutorial while the game's paused.

Working on a transition sequence between the loadout menu and the actual game to try to make the music change less jarring, may be weird/ too long though. Also made the screen flash blue when you get a buff.

Since my backup PC uses windows 11 I've been trying to replace the file explorer with Q-Dir. Does anybody know how to get external apps like Krita or Godot to handle files using Q-Dir instead?

Coding new enemy type, not a lot of code I can reuse for it though.

As an apology for being late on the class update you're getting a third class. Maybe I might look at the subclass system too?

Aiming for next update by Friday which will add 2 classes to choose from. The main thing classes affect are how you heal, though each class is designed around a unique buff.

Messing around with the game's color palette and trying out a background so I can design actual levels instead of a tiny box, how does this look?

Should I make a subreddit for user retention or something? I don't wanna moderate something though, business stuff feels fucking awful to do.
