  FIGHT-QUEST is coming soon!

  First, a serious thank you for 50,000 wishlists!!! FIGHT-QUEST is my first game, and it started out as a way to teach myself game development / coding. I wasn't expecting it to change my life, but here we are. I genuinely can't thank you all enough for wishlisting and making this all possible!Development of the full game is well underway. I'm often working 12 hour days because I want to get the full version to you all as soon as possible. An incredibly talented developer (Nate Larson) has joined me to co-develop the rest of the game, and he's really helped speed things up. We're aiming for a late-October release.I've just updated the demo. It contains some new content, but it's primarily "under the hood" optimizations, changes, and fixes. As much as I'd love to add all the fun new stuff we've been working on to the demo for free, I've gone too many years as a starving artist. I'd like to eat some food now. You can expect it to be priced very reasonably, like other games in the "Survivors-like" genre. For sneak peaks of the real game, you can join the FIGHT-QUEST Discord (I posted footage of the kick the other day). I'm more excited than ever about how FIGHT-QUEST is coming together, and can't wait to share more soon. UPDATESARMORED ENEMIES : Enemies now support armored variants.

  Progression Update

  FIGHT-QUEST is nearing 20,000 wishlists.I don't really know what to say, other than thank you. The response has been incredible, with interest continually growing despite not having a marketing budget. That's all thanks to creators like Alpha Beta Gamer and Moist Cr1TiKaL (a true OSRS connoisseur). A special thank you also goes out to everyone active in the community. Your input has, and will continue to have a massive impact on FIGHT-QUEST. These Steam updates don't appear on anyone's library feed because it's for the demo, so I set up a Discord to make development updates, bug reports, and community discussions more centralized. Here's the link! : https://discord.gg/r7RCV74JMYThis update marks a massive addition to the core of the game... progression!

  FIGHT-QUEST Demo V2

  Music will play a big part in creating the overall vision I have for FIGHT-QUEST. While implementation is fairly simple right now, this system allows for some really cool stuff in the near future. Other than that, this update includes a heap of gameplay changes and fixes (and a couple new pieces of content!). Now that some of these severe bugs are taken care of, I'll now be focused on adding new upgrades, enemy armor, leaderboards, and more uses for your collected gold. Thank you all for playing, and for the crazy positive reception. Stay tuned for much more!New Features Music overhauled with dynamic music evolution. Added more instrument variations to help make the Gnome battle track less repetitive.Frog-Wiz spells can now be parriedNew fairy spawn sequencePlayer can now be boiled in the gnome stewAdded a non-descript, normal plant.Added invert x and y mouse optionsDamage dealt now always renders over enemies regardless of depthAdded wizard SFX to make it more obvious you shouldn't return to him to complete his "quest" after punching a gnomeUpdated wicked old wizard code to improve game performanceUpdated river appearance, performance, and audioBug FixesFixed game breaking bug where upgrade cards became blocked and inaccessible when clipped into enemies/the environment. They now render separately and are interactable even if blocked by other collision. Fixed game breaking bug where breaking an idol too soon after another would make the cards spawn in previous locationFixed dialogue pressing spacebar causing random green overlayFixed Tutorial popup not going away on new runs (again, hopefully)Fixed brightness setting bug which didn't appropriately update default setting for player's with slower CPU'sFixed gnomes freezing mid-jump (hopefully)Fixed enemies getting stuck on ledgesFixed Possessed Buffome's issue with blood collisionFixed Frog-Wiz spell not colliding with the groundFixed Gnome's freezing in place while doing a run attack while player's in the airFixed fi...
