Hello everyone!
Sharing my monthly plans seem like a pretty solid way to keep the progress on the game as transparent as possible, so here it goes for October!
1- Date Night
I'm currently working on a new feature to improve the unit menu to make some more interesting content for each character.
This feature will include an interact...

I haven't done all the Souls Chibis yet but I wanted to share the progress I made with those three as a start!
So here's a cute Nayeli, a sassy Leila and an angry Sigrunn for your viewing!
Also reminder that there's a poll in need of a tiebreaker going on right now!
Than...

At different intervals, Bloodlust will conjure up your characters' souls in the middle of the screen.
if you click on them, you'll deal some damage to Bloodlust and avoid taking some damage.
If you don't, she'll swallow that character's soul, dealing some damage and healing Bloodlust.
Be careful not to click on spikes as you'll deal damage to your entire party! Spikes wi...

Next month, I'll be working closely with Khianni to build a prototype for the next big interactive feature for ARX.
We came to the conclusion that every character could be an interesting fit for the feature so I figured I'd ask you fine folks.
Who should be the first character to pioneer the next interactive feature?

Just like the active skills, troops are now a thing!
Currently you can hire some Herbologists to heal your team as well as some Dark Elf Blades to deal some damage.
As development progresses, I'll add some more troops for purchase, each with their useful perks (either boosting gold, exp, damage output, sustain, etc.)
In other news :

Hello!
As promised in my monthly roadmap, Active Skills are now fully added to the game.
(The icons will happen later on though, keeping the initials for clarity's sake for now!)
All 6 buttons provide your team with some perks in battle, to keep your progress steady.
Next step, Troops!
More info on that later!

Finally got around to calculating the results from the Pre-Launch Poll from July.
I'm pretty surprised about some of those placements, but I'm pretty happy with how close this poll was (the top 4 all scored within a 25 points window!)
Thanks a lot for voting!

Couldn't resist finishing it. More art & game dev progress soon!

See you there ;)

Hello dear patrons!
Here's the latest screenshot which hints at my plans for September. This post's aim is to break down all the small changes and features who are currently being developed.
1- Active Skills
Active skills are under development and should be functional very soon. You can already purchase & improve them. All I have left to d...

Trying to get the ball rolling on some of the kinkier content, so I'll do a bunch of doodles before fully rendering them, so I'll share them throughout September alongside some game dev progress.
Stay tuned :)

Here's another batch of illustration teasers for now!
Been working on a lot of stuff behind the scenes, so the next demo update will be in September!
Stay tuned for more,

Nayeli being the first character added into the game, her sprite was slightly lacking compared to the other characters, so I upped her quality a bit.
This is technically the first official buff in the ARX history! :P
I hope you like Nayeli's slightly better look in 0.2.

Alright! Did some progress on the Battle UI. I wanted to make it seem a bit more dynamic and interesting than what we got.
It's heavily inspired from Fire Emblem, a series which I love dearly <3 (And who made it really hard to focus on ARX this past month)
Regardless, I feel like I've made some decent progress, wouldn't you say?
Now to make it look a bit m...

Generic enemies are not cubes anymore either! Next patch should have five different enemy types!
(And putting enemies there made me realize the enemy UI is also pretty meh. Time to get that ball rolling!)
Making decent progress on the reward illustrations as well. Expect another reward teaser by the end of the month!

You better be on your best behavior for Domina Annabelle! She's very demanding of her little playthings!

Enemies are no longer (always) plain cubes! Sometimes you'll get to fight Bloodlust instead.
She isn't very interactive yet, but I have some cool ideas for her in the future.
I'll keep you posted as things develop!

Hello dear patrons!
One of the biggest comment I had from 0.1 was that people were unsure what was happening or when their characters would do their skills or attacks.
Cooldown bars are now a thing! The white bar is the attack bar, when it's full, your character will attack.
The blue bar underneath is the skill bar. If your character has no blue bar, it's because they ha...

As promised, here is one of the three enemy bosses who will be available to fight in the launch roster.
She imbues her mace with demonic energy to leech the life of her opponent on hit.
Her fate is intertwined with the other villains and will be revealed in due time.

I'll be starting to promote the game a little bit more in the upcoming weeks, so I officially have a Twitter account now! You can follow me at @exquisit_e. I'd really appreciate it!

Version 0.1 of Auto RPG Ex is finally ready. It's still a little rough around the edges as far as polish goes, but I still wanted to show some tangible progress this month.

The login page doesn't look quite sexy yet, but is fully functional!
For the sake of this demo, registering will grant you every launch unit at Rank 1 (since there is no real way to acquire Summon Stones at the moment) so you can play around with every character, read their bios and listen to a few voice lines.
Still working towards giving you something tangible by the end of ...

Since I have the core structure of the game set up (Early Alpha Playable Demo later this month!! I promise!), I was wondering what aspects of the game I should really put the emphasis on as I focus my attention towards the more interactive side of the game.
So here's the question : What features or qualities do you find the most important in an adult game?
