November 2022 Progress Update
This month I started work on many oddities you might encounter while exploring the new areas...
Heeeelp! Saving this stranded bandit might turn out more useful than you may expect...
I've created a few other oddities that present various opportunities, risk and rewards - really excited for players to encounter them in early access
Bandit Fire-Breathers will hamper your expeditions into the bandit stronghold with painful damage-over-time attacks... make sure you don't dilly dally, longer fights mean losing more health! a precious resource for all explorers...
Mist moth nests will spawn various grubs for you to fight against! I plan on adding additional grub-types in the future too.
I'm also working on other new enemies... but more on these in future updates!
Continuing some of the progress from last month, I've worked more on the bossfight against bandit leader Pig.
His purple bandit lackeys will aim their bows at you in a telegraphed attack! Be sure to dodge or you'll be afflicted by slowness, which will make the battle a lot tougher...
Broken flooring gives the two new areas - The City of Mist and the Bandit Stronghold - a more distinct and ruined look.
Netherguild will also be featured in the TurnBasedFest steam event in the beginning of December! It's made by the people who organize #TurnBasedThursday on twitter, and will include A LOT of other great turn based games with big discounts and demos.
And that's all for this update! Thank you for checking it out. Cheers, and have a great month! -David This is a summery of weekly updates over on the Netherguild Discord

Hey Guild Leaders!
Welcome to the November monthly update.
To those unfamiliar with these, I write a bit about Netherguild's development progress on the first Friday of each month and post it here on Steam (:
Without further ado, here's some of what I've been working on this month:

Netherguild is a turn-based tactical roguelite dungeon-crawler, where you command expeditions below the earth in a desperate attempt to cure a strange plague.
Explore, camp, and fight as far as you can before heading back to resupply.
What will you discover underground?
Key Features:
Bonfires:
Construct campfires underground, rest and eat next to them. The food items you consume affect your guild members and the rest of your expedition, with passive effects, permanent changes and more!
──────────────────────────────────────────
Combat:
Learn how to defeat different enemies (and when to flee) in combat. Hitting enemies requires no RNG - so you can depend on your abilities, but watch out for tricky enemies that are immune to your strategy, unfortunate circumstances and surprises!
In Netherguild, combat is another form of resource management- how can you prevent your characters from getting hurt, or receiving harmful debuffs? When is it the right time to use a powerful ability, when should you save it for later?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Oddities:
Different oddities you find underground will present you with various choices that may affect your expedition and the game world at large.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
The World Above:
While you explore below, different events may happen above-ground, presenting opportunity and choice when you return from expeditions.
────────────────────────────────────
Replay Value:
Random equipment, random character backgrounds with different skills each playthrough and procedurally generated levels every time you descend underground mean that playthroughs feel different every time.
────────────────────────────────────
Additional Features:
- Roguelite with Persistence and Story: Keep your characters at the end of each expedition (if they survive), equip them with powerful items and level them up over time. Netherguild's story progresses the more you explore and find out about the secrets of its world.
- Dungeon Crawling Resource Management: Powerful abilities have a limited amount of uses. Your characters have limited inventory space. What is more important? The priceless loot you bring up back to the surface, or the firewood logs that let you descend even deeper?
- Original Game World: Netherguild may be fantasy, but don't expect it to play by genre conventions at all; No Orcs, no Elves, and no wizards casting fireballs. Expect to find strange biospheres and denizens far underground.
- Cute Voxel Aesthetics: Contrasted by a story with serious themes, as you face against plague and conspiracy!
- Solo Developed: I'm always happy to get feedback, suggestions and inspiration from players. You can reach me through various channels such as my twitter, the Netherguild discord and Netherguild Steam forum. If you love Netherguild, dislike something about it, or you have a fantastic idea you think should be added to the game, please let me know! :D

Early Access: Risks, Plans and Expectations:
- Risks: It's possible that during development, I would run out of money and wouldn't be able to continue full time development.
If that were to happen, I'll take up part time or full time work and develop Netherguild in my spare time. This game will be finished as long as I'm physically able to work on it.
I'm doing everything in my power to combat this risk - for example, marketing and getting to a certain number of wishlists before release should prevent it from ever occurring - but I think it's still important to be honest about risks like this before release.
If you want Netherguild to be successful, help me out! Let your friends, favorite streamer or gaming news site know about this game (: - Plans: Updates will happen in regular intervals; With a new update every week to three weeks. I would like to have weekly / bi-weekly updates for the most part, but of course that depends on development, with bigger changes taking longer to update, but containing more content and additions.
- Expectations: Expect progress to be slow and steady- being a solo dev means I can't finish the game in a year, and big updates will take time. Also, expect me to always be active on the Netherguild discord during Early Access, listening to your feedback.
