Learn more about Aleister Crowley. A Major influence in our story and universe.
Our plot spins around someone who engages with the occult for his personal purposes; that being said, Aleister Crowley's work plays a major role into it.
Aleister is one of the most prominent occultists of the modern time. Founder of Thelema and involved in many occult orders of the early 20th century. His influence grows out of philosophical circles to reach the mainstream through Rock'n Roll, movies and many others forms of today's art.
We invite you to learn more about this curious character here in this great article:
We are implementing a new dungeons generation system that allows us to use level design techniques that normally aren't used in procedural scenarios, such as baked reflections, lightmaps and mesh-paint.
What do you think of how it looks?
This technique will also allow us to add enigmas to the scenarios. When playing a rogue-like,do you prefer having enigmas as bonus or as mandatory items to progress?

Hello, dear mortals!
how have you been? we have been doing lots of improvements to the game in the last weeks. In this post we want to share two new brand new enemies and details on their building and design process.
The Gargoyle uses LOD (Level of Detail), a technique to improve performance lowering GPU and CPU consumption. The game decreases the number of triangles in a model, according to the distance they are seen in the game. The further the foes are, the less detailed:
The second new enemy is an absolute classic in the RPG genre, The Slime! (ignore the weapon, it has been removed)
