Duskborn Chapter 2

Duskborn Chapter 2 is out now!

Duskborn is a university project developed at Stuttgart Media University over the course of two semesters. This update includes all of the progress which was made in the second semester, as well as the months afterwards, in which we continued to polish it and finished some things we could not get done during the semester. We spent this time to transform the prototype into a more fleshed out product with more content and a more satisfying gameplay loop, that encourages replayability and build variety.

We hope you have fun with it!
