He also updated approximately 70 of his previous ability icons to match the new status icons in his set, which is extra awesome. Thank you again Ontoclasm!

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!

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.

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.

It took waaaayyyy longer than I’d hoped, but we’re finally here! The Brand build is officially released, and the links to the right have been updated! Thank you to everyone who helped with testing, thank you to everyone period for your patience, and thanks Zyalin for providing another piece of fan art for me to use for the announcement, this one depicting a Summoner who seems to prefer spectral allies!

Even if you played the last Brand test build, there will be new goodies awaiting you. Besides some bug fixes and balance tweaks, there are also new Brand modifiers, as well as Brand-related Relic Upgrades, including Create Brand, which allows you to sacrifice a demon to gain a new Brand based on its Modifier. Oh, and I nearly forgot, you can now also view previous messages by pressing F12!

As you’d probably expect, this version uses a new scoreboard version.

Everything else I would say, I’ve probably said over the last half a year or so. Enjoy, and good luck in the Tower!

Zyalin, who has recently been creating a ton of awesome fan art for Demon, put together his own website to house his work. If you’ve liked his Demon pieces, you should go check out the rest at https://zyalin.wixsite.com/zyalin-art.

As for Demon itself, the Brand Build continues to make progress: I’ve finished the rest of the Create Brand modifier lists and hooked them all up, and I’ve started wresting with how to display message history. Once that and some last bits of polish and solo testing are done, we’ll be good to go.

Cheers, and good luck in the Tower!

And also, a small progress update: I’ve nearly created all the Brand modifier rulesets for use with Create Brand! Once I finish that, the only big thing left before release will be adding a method for viewing more message log history. Still in slow mode due to work, but we’re finally in the home stretch.

Cheers, and good luck in the Tower!
