Hi everyone, I've been working as the art director on this project for a little over a year now and as we're getting close to putting it out into the world I figured I'd share here. It's an action-roguelite with a heavy emphasis on exploration and buildcraft. There's a lot of inspiration from ARPGs and soulslikes, though definitely not a huge focus on "challenge" and moreso on discovery and mechanical interactions. It's meant to be a game where you incrementally build up power in the world and in-run rather than through character meta progression, and there's a huge focus on skill interaction - each run you drop runes that you can socket into your spells, your defensive spells, your ult, and your weapon, which creates tons of builds and interesting combinations. There's a trailer on the steam page as well!

I headed up all of the world/environmental art and assets, character, NPC, and enemy artwork, and directed everything from the top down art-wise. It's been a labor of love but a really fun and exciting project and I think it is looking promising overall! We're releasing into early access on June 8th, but there's a demo already available if you want to check it out and give us feedback, there's an in-game feedback form as well. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!
