  Happy Holidays - demo update preview

  Hello everyone,With the end of year approaching, I thought this was a good time to give you an overview of what we have been cooking since this summer.Beyond various bug fixes and QoL improvements, the focus has been on bringing more depth to Rain Tactics and expanding upon the roguelite and strategy RPG aspects of the game. Hence, key gameplay changes that you can expect in the next demo:classes redesign: with revised set of abilities to make them feel more unique, some characters gameplay have drastically changed (for instance, Cyrus now can deploy Lizzy - her drone - which acts as an independent companion on the field of battle)new progression system: "Out" the 3-class choice per character system, "In" a new ability tree per character that unlock new possibilities with each level up, and give you the opportunity to shape a character's evolution as per your needs (example of choice: is Cyrus to be more of a drone specialist, or hacker expert?)expansion upon gambits and talents: beyond their abilities, units now have access to unique set of talents, each providing various advantages in battle (from passive stat increase, access to new gambits, to getting steep discounts at the shops!). As for abilities, talents are unlocked through unit level upnew UI: following these gameplay and game progression changes, various UI updates were necessary, further emphasizing on the cyberpunk flair of the game; examples of UI refreshed are the level up menu, inventory, abilities selection\Timing of the updated demo is still to be defined. But on top of these systemic changes, you can expect with the update (i) an improved boon system, (ii) upgraded levels and dialogues and (iii) at least one more character that will join the roster !So keep in touch, and thanks again for your support !!Happy HolidaysErvya\

  Hello everyone, Now that the demo is out, wanted to share with you all some info about what is coming next. Dev RoadmapI will now be gradually improving upon the demo, while bringing the rest of the game to completion. What you can expect in terms of demo updates in the future (not necessarily in that order): Various QoL improvements, bug fixes and proper save systemMore types of Corporation upgrades and additional character dialoguesExpanded roster of Avowed that you can play withMore varied level objectives and Slums levels configurationsImplementation of more Avowed talents/gambits, and potential changes to the class systemsOn the last point, I am still pondering whether the current class change system really works or not in terms of fun & strategic layer. So I might revisit this mechanic.As for the timeline for all these updates... well they will come when ready ! There are still a few inhouse tools I need to develop to help with balancing out the game overall. So will see how all these things play out.Patch v0.3.0.2As for now, I just uploaded a small patch which addresses two points:Bug: fixed a glitch in the fighting system that froze the game. Thanks to those who pointed that outQoL: made the tutorial popups closable by simply clicking on them (vs having to click on the red X) That is all for today ! Thanks again for all the support and hope you will like what is coming.CheersErvya

  Patch (v0.3.0.1) - Hotfixing !

  Hello everyone, Thanks for the support with the demo launch yesterday ! It is really heartwarming to see the game I have been working on for so long now being played by many of you :) Patch (v0.3.0.1) Short update as I just uploaded a small patch correcting two bugs reported by players. The bugs happened during fights, and only happened if a very specific combination of events occured. But one of them induced a game freeze, so now it is fixed ! All feedback welcome Also wanted to ask everyone to please share with me any feedback or bug you find in the game. You can use the "Feedback" button in game for that purpose, and that would really help me a ton in polishing this game to make it really something special ! Thanks again for the support. Will be sharing a development roadmap for the next few months in my next post ! Cheers Ervya
