Hey guild leaders! I recently made some great progress on the shops and upcoming "Damp Caves" mushroom area (new soundtrack for it later in the post!). Here's the exciting details:

New shops

I've been wanting to redo the shop and guild screens for a long while, trying to make both of these looks like actual places rather than minimalist, grey windows. So I set to work and made mockups in Aseprite! a pixel-art program.

...They're just mockups so I can see where the interface is, they're not meant to be pretty!

The in-game versions, however, are totally meant to look pretty! :D This change currently only applies to the shops in the overworld (General Store and Armory). I did end up running into some unexpected difficulties with the guild version... [spoiler](the fact that the character is meant to be on the left side + screen scaling possible causing issues for how things are displayed on different screens)[/spoiler] so that will have to wait for a future update :< However! Get ready for some very exciting mushroom news!

Mushroom Music

[previewyoutube=HTEAEpA0wsg;full][/previewyoutube] Here's the soundtrack for the upcoming "Damp Caves" mushroom area in-action! courtesy of the talented Daniele "Elrehon" Coppola. The soundtrack for the upcoming Sewers is done too, I might share it in a future post (:

Mushroom Animations

All mushroom enemies are now fully animated too, with particle effects to boot!

Mushroom push!

Mushroom cannon!

Mushroom hulk smash!

Mushroom sound effects

Finally, inspired by the fantastic music, I added sound effects to the various mushroom enemies [previewyoutube=HcFsmnZz1mM;full][/previewyoutube] Beep boop

The End

And that's all! thank you for reading this update, looking forward to sharing more exciting news with you next time :D -David

Release

Strategy RPG Singleplayer EA

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.
