January 2023 Progress Update
The bandit armorer uses his masterful smithing skills to buff other bandits enemies or debuff your units with a "weaken" status - reducing your melee damage! Watch out for deadly combos of him buffing bandit archers.
I've also added three variants of the grub - these will be more powerful and rarer than the common variety. These are, from left to right: Armored grub, Regenerating grub, Growing grub.
Armored grubs have a rolling attack where they gain block and push your characters - so don't dilly dally near the edge! or you will be pushed off... These next two enemies have been animated - I plan to add them to the lower floors of The City of Mist.
I've also been working on lots of new equipment;
Like these flashy crossbow boots! Which were originally a community suggestion by Blonde.
It's also been a lot of fun fleshing out the new City of Mist loot - and figuring out specific items which should prove handy in this dangerous, forgotten location.
A custom main menu for early access release!! And if you prefer the older main menu or want to take another glimpse at it after release, you can always toggle to it via the new arrows in the bottom right of the screen (:
[previewyoutube=HZn0a285qps;full][/previewyoutube] Current draft of the Early Access trailer! What do you think? is there anything you'd like me to add, remove or change? (: I plan on adding music (and possible sound effects) to it in the near future too.
We're getting really close to the Early Access release! I still have a ton to do - even more playtesting, steam preparations, and a bit more new content and enemies >:D at the same time, I'm so excited for it to happen - I hope you are too!! Thank you for checking out this update! Cheers, and have a great February!! -David This is a summery of weekly updates over on the Netherguild Discord

Hey Guild Leaders!
Welcome to the January monthly update.
This update is a tad bit late - however, it's also a big update! Including news from both January and December. Let's get into it!
New Enemies
The bandit armorer uses his masterful smithing skills to buff other bandits enemies or debuff your units with a "weaken" status - reducing your melee damage! Watch out for deadly combos of him buffing bandit archers.
I've also added three variants of the grub - these will be more powerful and rarer than the common variety. These are, from left to right: Armored grub, Regenerating grub, Growing grub.
- Regenerating grubs heal every turn yet deal very little damage, being persistent little buggers that are tough to kill.
- Growing grubs increase in size, health and damage every turn (up to a limit). It's better get rid of them early on!
Armored grubs have a rolling attack where they gain block and push your characters - so don't dilly dally near the edge! or you will be pushed off... These next two enemies have been animated - I plan to add them to the lower floors of The City of Mist.

New Menu

One step away...

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.
