changedMonsters Go BoomMonsters now explode when they die! While we couldn't go full DOOM-style, we're working on making safe-for-work explosions for both humans and beasts. Stay tuned for more explosive fun!

addedSave System for Monsters and TrapsYes, you can now save the game! While you can't save during a run, you can save the amount of GEMS you collect, the monsters and traps you unlock, and the ones you bring along. We're working hard to make this system as stress-free as possible.

changedAccessibility OptionsWe're constantly improving our accessibility options. As a dyslexic developer, my eyes go BLEEEH every time there's too many tnts or magic orbs in the room, the areas overlap themselves and it's hard to focus on the strategy. That's why Daniel had the brilliant idea to give the option to increase the pixel size of the circle of the range for better readability when there are too many ranges on the screen.

addedNEW EFFECT JOINS THE FIGHT!Introducing "Transform": When a monster is played with another monster that is affiliated with it, they will transform. Get ready for some exciting new combinations!

Weird writing? idk what you talking about

Intro WIP

The introduction of the game is currently in progress, and we can't wait to share it with you! Stay tuned for more updates on this.

Debugging Playtest of the Hub

We are meticulously debugging the issues our playtesters have found. Our goal is to deliver a polished demo, targeted for release sometime in 2025. As a two-person team, this process takes considerable time and effort. We're working full-time, day and night, to ensure The Good Overlord runs smoothly. Daniel is diligently fixing every nook and cranny of this game.

Monsters Go Boom

Monsters now explode when they die! While we couldn't go full DOOM-style, we're working on making safe-for-work explosions for both humans and beasts. Stay tuned for more explosive fun!

Save System for Monsters and Traps

Yes, you can now save the game! While you can't save during a run, you can save the amount of GEMS you collect, the monsters and traps you unlock, and the ones you bring along. We're working hard to make this system as stress-free as possible.

All NPCs Finalized

All NPCs have their final design! Finally! Here's a sneak peek at some of them. And yes, they are all 100% human. Why do you ask?

Accessibility Options

We're constantly improving our accessibility options. As a dyslexic developer, my eyes go BLEEEH every time there's too many tnts or magic orbs in the room, the areas overlap themselves and it's hard to focus on the strategy. That's why Daniel had the brilliant idea to give the option to increase the pixel size of the circle of the range for better readability when there are too many ranges on the screen.

NEW EFFECT JOINS THE FIGHT!

Introducing "Transform": When a monster is played with another monster that is affiliated with it, they will transform. Get ready for some exciting new combinations!

We hope you're as excited as we are about these updates. We're dedicated to making The Good Overlord the best experience it can be, and we appreciate your patience and support.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being part of this journey with us. If you noticed something weird about this post, maybe you should check it out on our Patreon.

As always, have a great week <3
