Update time! On the business side, things are looking good. @Ree has been off talking to accountants and such, working out details and so that has been exciting for us. Even though I've probably said this a dozen times already, getting a shot to be independent from the start is still mind-blowing. I thought you...

It's been a nice day today, both @Ree and I got some coding done. Here are a few highlights:- Dice feel regressed a while back and Ree got that fixed back up again.- He also updated the implementation of the radial menus which we hope has fixed the issues with some stats not showing. I tested this but we had never been a...

Day two of the dev planning and again things went well. The main job today was going back through the task lists and working out which ones would be dependent on which. This is important so we don't get blocked by each other and that, for the cases where the is a dependency, there will be work the blocked person can be d...

The end of last week saw me playing with a cool toy so I thought I'd write about it.First though, I've carried on with my digging into various erlang bits and bobs.With a bit of prodding I was able to get epmdless working with my erlang/docker setup. This is great as distributed erlang is one of the powerful features tha...

Ree and I have been having the first dev planning session today for the road from here to Beta. We've been going through the roadmap and making sure we know that, between us, we had an understanding of the next steps for every feature. This doesn't mean that each is fully designed, in many cases features need prot...

Heya everyone, Dev logs will return late next week. From the comments in the last update, it sounds like the best approach is to link those dev logs here once a week. We can start that and see how it feels over time. For now, we are doing post-Kickstarter stuff :) First off @Ree has been off down to see an account...

The Kickstarter campaign is complete and to say that we are surprised with the result would be an exercise of understatement at near Olympic levels. You've already had a month of us talking at you so I'll keep it brief. This is amazing :D We are just so happy that the game resonates with so many people, and tha...

The Kickstarter exclusive dice are making their debut!To those who backed at these levels, we hope that in the years ahead you'll enjoy flashing this little sign that you helped make this project happen. And to all the backers and supporters, thank you once again!

"In the final hours of the world, a group of adventurers stands ready to... get their butts kicked by chat!" Hello! As the final hours of the Kickstarter campaign draws near, we invite you to partake in an interactive live event on Twitch, where YOU will summon the vile creatures who will do battle against members ...

Our lead artist has just returned after recovering from a cruelly timed malady and immediately began the task of finding the identities of the Kickstarter exclusive minis. In short, order that was achieved so here they are!This is the first step in the life of a character. Next, with concepts in hand, please join us as...

Oooo purdy!-- TRANSMISSION ENDS --

Wow! Before this campaign started there was no doubt in my mind that we would not reach the last stretch goal, it just seemed to outlandish. But here we are, a week to go and the cyberpunk target seems all but inevitable at this point.Thank you so much for taking us here. We can't wait to get started on this for real.Tod...

So I had to hold off posting yet again yesterday but today is a new day and one with great news. We smashed through the second stretch goal only hours after the Animated Spellbook episode went live and we are well on the way to the Cyberpunk goal.Thanks to you all yet again. This has taken so many things from the wishlis...

It took a turn from iguana to Chinese alligator to give it more visual distinction from the Gillers we already have.Next one coming tomorrow!

The end of last week looked at lot like the picture above.This was because I want sketching out ideas for the undo/redo system and I wanted a nice simple model for doing this. This is 4x4 map where tiles are represented by letters.These tests allowed me to find small mistakes in my assumptions and to fix those in a much ...

The Kickstarter, while busy, has allowed us to step back, recover from the prep, and do some technical planning. However, sometimes making stuff is just too much fun and in that spirit, Jason has started work on a new mini. We thought you would like to see a little of the 'behind the scenes' as the mini evolves so here a...

So here is a little bonus video with exactly that. This is just to show off a few of the minis in a scene from a campaign we were building.

Heya folks, behind the scenes I've been working on the next version of the undo/redo system along with new data layouts to make batching (for rendering) faster.Undo/redo is one of the areas we've had serious lag before when working with large slabs of tiles. When looking at the code it was understandable why, however, th...

Hello folks,Research continues and, for now, that isn't giving me much to show so I took an hour out to explore a requested feature: NDI Support.NDI is a standard that lets applications deliver video streams via a local area network. For us, we are interested in being able to take these video feeds and use them in TaleSp...

Another short dev log while we are still in the Kickstarter campaign.Recently I've carried on studying. It looks like the hybrid renderer doesn't handle per-instance data yet (which is mad) so we won't be able to use that yet. This means we will probably want to avoid Unity's ECS for now and just work with something simi...
