Hey folks. 
A tiny, if vague, progress update: I’ve finished picking out the new characters who will be added as part of the update. Barring any tweaks/changes later, it looks like there will be 17 new characters: 7 heroes, 7 unique demons, 2 minions, and 1 normal demon.
I will probably preview a limited selection of these once we’re further along and they have at least character sprites ready (or better, character sheets), but many of them will remain a mystery until release.
Hey folks. The run up to this next build is going to be a little different.
As discussed previously, I’m working on the 30th floor of the Tower: in other words, the official end game material. Normally I’d like to post updates showing what I’m working on as the build progresses, but this time around I think I want to keep things a little closer to the vest for anti-spoiler reasons.
I will probably still be willing to post some of the individual characters and abilities, but I will be avoiding any major reveals about what awaits on the Tower’s final floor. This means updates may be a bit sparse and low on content at times, especially early on in the build’s development.
This build will be a bit getting done, so please be patient with the timeframe and somewhat less informative than normal update content. 
Thank you, and until next time, good luck in the Tower!
Hey folks. Here’s the small balance update build that includes some tweaks to Titan’s Fist and Faithful Heart’s upgrades, as well the addition of item icons to the Ontoclasm icon set. I also fixed a small packaging error where the Licensed Art folder was missing from Mac and Linux downloadables.
The links to the right have been updated, so go grab ‘em! Good luck in the Tower!
Ontoclasm volunteered to also update Demon’s item icons. These will be included in the upcoming small balance adjustment build, which I hope to release in roughly a week or so.
The main targets of the balance adjustments will be a slight tweak to the Aux Guard/Power upgrade numbers, and an adjustment to Revive Demon to make Faithful Heart a bit more appealing. See you again soon!
Hey folks, and happy new year!
Wanted to drop a small update: I’ll be posting another build early-mid January with some further balance adjustments and new item icons from Ontoclasm After that, it’s on to the 30th floor!
In the meantime, enjoy another piece of fan art by Zyalin. I’m not sure how this Summoner and his gandayah friends escaped the Tower, but I wish them a happy new year too.
The new build is ready and released! The links at the right have already been updated, so go ahead and grab it!
The two main features of this build are the new Ontoclasm icon set and a fairly extensive balance pass focused on cooldown abilities, Light and Dark “conditional” attacks, and Relic Upgrades including significant changes to Aux Guard and Aux Power, the Titan’s Fist starting upgrades. In particular, I think the new Titan’s Fist plays much better and feels more in theme for Demon, since it now requires you to have at least one demon out, rather than being able to (and encouraging) dropping to zero demons, which isn’t really very Demon anymore.
I should also add this would be a good time to give cooldown abilities a chance if you haven’t been impressed with them before. Specifically those with Light, Dark, Presence, and Breath cooldowns, which were significantly improved as part of the balance pass. But on the flip side, you should probably beware of enemies who use those abilities, for they have also benefitted from the balance pass they received.
As always, I hope you enjoy the new build, and good luck in the Tower!
A quick note: The build release target date is 12/20. Cheers!
I’ve made some other Upgrade and Relic tweaks worth mentioning during this balance pass:
Hello!
You may have noticed I’ve been avoiding screenshots lately. There’s been a reason for that: I didn’t want to risk spoiling the surprise addition to the upcoming balance build. New interface and ability icon art by Ontoclasm!
And now, the Ontoclasm version of one of my favorite things to show off about Demon:
Like with Geminimax’s character sprites, there is an option in the options menu for switching back to the old interface and ability icons if you prefer, but Ontoclasm’s icon set will be the active interface and ability icon set used by default.
If you’d like to see more of Ontoclasm’s work, you can check out his itch page here: https://ontoclasm.itch.io/
Thank you for the awesome work on these, Ontoclasm! It’s going to be awesome having these in the game.
Hey, just a quick update. The main thing left now is doing some testing before the release to make sure I didn’t break anything worse than the things I was trying to improve. With the somewhat extensive changes, I admit I expect I’ll probably need to do some follow-up tweaks sometime after release, but I want to try and catch any major issues myself. Not quite ready to give an exact date for the build release, but it will be before Christmas for sure. Cheers!
