Week 2 Update
Last week I planned on adding these features to the game: [olist]Adding Steam cloud saves
Fixing room generation blocking players
Fixing control re-binding with WASD & arrow keys, in addition to making it available in-dungeon and in the overworld too
(Control re-binding was fixed, but it will take a while longer to set it up in-dungeon; that's because it means the key has to change immediately rather than on-loading)
Fixing a variety of other smaller crashes, visual bugs etc.
[/olist]
Most of everything was done! Pretty happy about completing 3.5/4 of these, knowing that deck players can have an easy time with synced saves & that no player will be blocked by terrain again :D

Since there are still many things I want to fix & improve as well as content I'd like to add, I'll do a bit of both next week! I'll focus on remaining fixes & improvements first, and then slowly ease into starting work on new content towards the end of the week.
While I can animate and program, sticking to the exact day with long term plans is something I struggle with. Therefore, instead of a full roadmap, I'll share with you a mini-roadmap for now: a collection of near future updates as well as the general game-plan for updating Netherguild! Near future updates include... Skill Up -Week to Two Weeks (Starting next week) A few more skills for existing skill trees, one or more item drops from existing enemies. Will also give me the ability to modify skill trees in existing saves. Overworld Interface and More -Week to two weeks Inspecting characters in guilds shows true stats (rather than starter stats), "Are you sure?" window for firing characters / attacking allies, more info in the dungeon-log and other possible improvements. Mist City Enrichment -Two to three weeks New enemies! New equipment! more drops from existing enemies. Improved and/or added oddities. New Goals and Quests -A week to two weeks New quests for the new areas as well as improved rewards for various factions. As you can see, my general idea is to improve the City of Mist (as well as the other two areas to a lesser extent, and the game in general) over these next few months before marching confidently towards adding some of the big systems (faction system with new classes?) and more new areas. If there's something specific you'd like me to add that isn't mentioned here, feel free to comment on this post or in the Discord! (: Also... this might be the final "Week X update"! - instead I'll switch to more specific update names (and/or monthly updates if I'm working on something big), as well as regular patch notes. Thank you for playing Netherguild and for checking out this update! -David

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.
