My first ever devlog!

Welcome to the first ever Primus Numen devlog!

A totally normal behind-the-scenes look at an indie dev who definitely has everything under control and is not working 16 hours a day, talking to himself, and arguing with invisible demons inside Blueprint graphs.

Let’s begin.

The First Battle Map Exists!

After many hours of carefully hand-placing glowing floor tiles, torches, and suspicious fog, I can officially say:

The dungeon looks awesome… until you turn the camera 3 degrees and the lighting decides to go to hell.

But overall? Moody. Atmospheric.

A perfect place to get stabbed by a whisper ghost thing.

Combat System Progress

The Knight, Mage, and Archer now move, attack, complain, and miss their attacks just like real JRPG heroes.

We even added called shots:

• Aim for the head → more crit, more shame when you miss

• Aim for the arm → reduce enemy damage

• Aim for the leg → ruin their day AND their movement

Great fun until you realise the enemies can do it too.

Transformations?

Yes.

Your party can combine into a baby Bahamut.

No, I will not explain the lore right now.

Just know it involves friendship, destiny, and probably workplace safety violations.

Bug of the Week

This week’s winner:

“All tiles say TILEBLOCKED even though nothing is blocking them.”

This happens because the game temporarily forgets what a unit is.

Relatable.

What’s Next

• Finish skills

• Animate everything

• Add a demon boss who politely roasts you from long range

• Fix the part where enemies sprint on the spot like they’re warming up for a marathon

And then…

THE DEMO.

Wishlist now to fuel my development-addicted brain.

Seriously, each wishlist is like giving me a microdose of hope.
