1.12 Patch
This morning's patch fixes a minor bug with selling that displayed the auto-equip option even though it wouldn't do anything for sold items. It also fixes a more dangerous bug in retraining that could allow you to hit e…

Arena of Suffering 1.1 is Live
I compiled a number of additional bug fixes and QoL changes and took care of them after getting back from vacation. It's all live now, so please be vigilant for anything that didn't take correctly. We have another case…

Small Patch
One of the later achievements was missable in a way that I found a bit unfair. So, if you beat the last normal boss, a new encounter becomes available that gives you a chance to take on a nastier version of the boss fig…

2nd Attempt at Achievement Fix
Today's patch is trying to lock down achievements even more for times when connections are lost, Steam misses something, etc. The system stores all achievements locally, and when you load a game it tries to update Steam…

Micropatch
A player had some issues with erratic Achivement unlocks. I've patched to try and help with that, but please let me know if anyone else is missing either the beep from the Steam notification or the recording of your ach…

I originally set the time for noon today EST, in case there were any final snags. But I can't find any (yet), so I'm setting the game to live now. I'll have Discord open all day if anyone hits a bug: https://discord.gg/…

1.0 is under a week away!
January 13th is almost here! :) The full release for Arena of Suffering should be on noon EST, though this is my first release ever and we'll see if there are any hidden hoops that'll trip things up. Either way, I'll ma…

Untitled
Working on new battle systems. I'd like to have a initiative system that isn't ALL heroes and then the monsters. We'll shift to individual inits for future games, and thus we have the tracker up top. It works too! New b…

What I'm Working On
I'm working on long-term material: better movement (so that we can add creatures into our maps instead of the stand-ins that we have now). Instead of going w/ full sprites in our movement, I'm using a single sprite and…

Working on the Details
One of the things that I've found the hardest to change about RPG Maker's systems is the "simple" stuff: menus, raw layout, etc. It fights back when you try to reset some of the engine's defaults. I'd really like to imp…

New Developments
To "relax" after Next Fest, I got back into work for future games and updates to Arena of Suffering. But I'd gotten some good advice from other devs and feel like we're already bumping hard into the ceiling of RPG Maker…

Header Capsule
I've been thinking of ideas to improve our Header Capsule (the wide art you see on the Steam Store Page). I went for that fun 90s vibe, to fit the style of game that we're honoring. But, there is a careful line between…

Monster Showcase: Beneath Dunrath
Next Fest has been a whirlwind, so I’m taking a breather from marketing to share five fresh critters from our dungeon beneath the northern mountains. Cold air, blue-white palette, and lots of teeth. Steam post imageStea…
