APEXICON - Puzzle RPG - DevLog - Kickstarter FUNDED

More updates to come on Apexicon, as I've acquired some angel investing and will be hiring on some really talented artists soon I hope!

I had to let my artist go, as she got too busy for the kind of workload I was looking at. So I'm back in the market for a new artist. In other news, I'm almost done fixing the damn column bugs. Man this thing has given me so much hell.

Anyway, this is what the game looks like currently:

With the help of a UI artist, I present your new board (still not finished):

Closer and closer, I just need art for the skills and character art, and I think it is pretty much done really.

Here's a GIF to commemorate the tiles disappearing when you click on them!

SO EXCITED.

My UI artist is going to give me new borders, but I went in on my own and made some just to mock it up:

Dude this whole project is awesomely done and presented. The direction it goes is thrilling. I hope you succeed. Will definately be following it. Regards;

I saw this on the Tigsource forums and immediately thought of your game. Looks like someone had the same idea.

Yeah the big problem with his game is there's no real choice - he has to place the words in the board basically to make it work, since you can only connect with letters directly.

Coming along beautifully!

Damage shakes the opposing character (will work on you too) to emphasize who is taking damage when.

looks great

can't believe the progress :)

hope you are still highly motivated to complete this

that always seems to be my issue

Nope what drives me is the continued help I get from artists and my composer helping out. I want to make this so I can play it myself!
