Handy Interface Improvements Done!... Unless?
Whenever I'd watch streamers play Netherguild, they'd often end up learning that friendly fire exists the hard way, which sometimes would lead to dead characters too. Most streamers would laugh about it, but it was a genuine cause of frustration to some - well, not anymore!
Another issue players faced was accidentally firing characters - I received these comments through the in-game feedback feature: "please add a confirmation pop-in to firing characters the fire character button is too close to inspect character and could be clicked by mistake" "I just accidentally fired my best warrior with an accidental click. Can you make that a confirmation screen? It made me sad. :("
Not anymore! (Also I'm sorry :<)
I thought it'd be tough to add! but luckily it ended up being surprisingly easy.
And thus, both features were added...
I even added this little map - which should come in handy if you ever wish to take a closer look at the minimap to see which rooms you might have missed or where to head next. All of this is already in-game!
There's a bit more I'd like to add and fix - so I'd like to spend another half a week to a week wrapping up this update. Afterwards, I plan to work on these updates: Mist City Enrichment -About 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. I have more planned too, but will keep it a secret for now (: Thank you for reading! -David

Hey Guild Leaders!
About a week and a half ago, I set out to add 2 interface features to Netherguild;
A "confirmation window", with warnings against firing characters / attacking allies, as well as being able to see your character's "true stats" in the guild (with skills + equipment) rather than beginner stats.
(This was mentioned last update:)

Were they added?... (yes!)

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.
