Assuming all goes well, the 2/12 build will be released tomorrow. If I’m being honest, it isn’t anything too exciting, except maybe for the balance change where “control” type effects only expire at the start of the target’s turn (thus raising the odds of you getting at least one ‘clean’ action now and then, offer not valid if under multiple control effects at once. ) The rest is just a collection of small UI, AI, and balance tweaks that had built up during content pushes.

Working on a small build that’s nearly done already. Nothing tooo fancy, just some bug fixes and AI tweaks that have built up during the content pushes that I want to stop briefly to knock out.

After that, I will begin work on yet another content build: this one adding a new terrain set and level layout style, which will be used in a new side-dungeon. This new side-dungeon will be part of Demon’s first “one out of X” set: it will have a 50% chance of appearing instead of Tower: 1 & 1/2, and will appear on either Tower:2 or Tower:3, haven’t decided for sure which yet. Stay tuned for more information, on both the imminent tweak build, and the upcoming new content build that will follow it.

Whew. This has turned out to be a bit beefier of a build than I was expecting, but we’re getting close.

Check out the full roster of characters that will be living in the Tower after the next build is released. My continuing thanks to Geminimax for providing awesome character art for them.

So do many other things. We’re in the home stretch on the next build.

The demons being added to populate floors 18, 19, and 20 have some interesting new abilities. Here’s a quick peek at the icons.

From top to bottom, left to right: Leading Edge, Ritualist, Withering Grasp, Leadership, Rhino Charge, Wither, Inspire, Reaper’s Mien, Wintery Touch, Grand Slam, Rabblerouser, Vitiating Grasp, Frozen Heart, Overpower, Vitiate, Frost Armor, Mobility, Rousing Cry, Snowstorm, Storm Heart, Stormfront, Thunderous, Vengeful, Eviscerate, Lethal Claw, Life bloom, Love Tap, Major Pain, Meltdown, Menacing Shout, Minor Pain, Arrest Host, Burning Claw, Burning Star, Chain Lightning, Cleansing Rain, Distracting Cry, Ember Heart, and Eternal Glory.

With these, Demon will be just shy of 350 abilities.

Next up will be a preview of the art for the new floors’ occupants. I hope everyone’s enjoying the Anomaly (or, if you haven’t reached it yet, the battle to get there.) Until next time, good luck in the Tower.

Continuing on the content march, the next build will add 3 more floors to the main Tower dungeon, bringing it to 20 floors.

Of course, since these are being added to the current end of the game, they will contain some of the nastiest demons yet.

The build will also include other goodies, of course, but 18-20 will be the main focus. Stay tuned, more info will be coming up relatively soon.

As of a bit earlier today, Demon reached 5000 games played. 2500 was hit back on October 17th, so that’s roughly 33 games a day on average since then. Not a huge number in the scheme of things, but for little still-semi-hidden Demon, it’s more than enough to make me happy for now.

Thank you everyone, and I hope you continue to enjoy playing.

I’d also like to thank Geminimax for the character art he has provided, and continues to make as new content is added. I’m sure it has been helpful for getting people interested. Thanks Geminimax!
