Hi everyone, My collaborator IngoH has been working on enabling modding for The Ouroboros King, and were doing an open beta to test the system. To join you need to own the game, and then go to Steam -> right click on the game -> properties -> Betas -> introduce the code "octavius2468". Mods can be used to create new pieces and you can find the mod documentation here. I suggest starting with text mods, you can use this one as a template. If you encounter any problems, have questions or want to share your mods, you can do so on my Discord.
Additionally, Gods vs Horrors (the game Im currently developing) will be participating in Steam Next Fest this week with an upgraded version. Its a roguelike that only cares about your build, with lots of deep strategy and meaningful decisions coupled with some randomness to make it spicy. Cheers! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3079080/Gods_vs_Horrors

Hello everyone, The Ouroboros King is now participating in the Steam Strategy Festival!

Hello everyone The Ouroboros King is now participating in the Indie Game Festival co-created by ChinaJoy, Game Connection together with Steam China.

The Polish language has been added. Also some minor bugs have been fixed, including some affecting the phoenix (spike shield interaction, and getting killed on its spawning spot), gorgon immobilizing after rewind, and boomerang plus blade dancer interaction.

Hello everyone Were glad to announce that the Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, German, Portuguese and Catalan versions of The Ouroboros King are officially released! To celebrate the occasion, there will be a discount of 20% off on The Ouroboros King from June 12 to June 19. Remember to check our last update:

• New contents of more than 20 new powerful units
  
• Introduced Practice mode, where you can create arbitrary situations to play vs the AI, or use it to play local multiplayer.
  

• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese
• Spanish
• Russian
• French
• German
• Portuguese
• Catalan

Fixed the bug causing the game audio to go too loud. It was an issue with the decimal point being a comma vs being a dot. Sorry about any inconvenience.

• Added more than 20 new units, including Agents * and L, a mysterious egg that has 2 upgrades and the powerful gorgon.
• Adjusted game balance, nerfing the power of blade dancer to a max of 2 moves per turn (can still do infinite, but you'll need a relic) as it was too powerful and easy to get.
• Introduced Practice mode, where you can create arbitrary situations to play vs the AI, or use it to play local multiplayer.

I've added progression to both the player and the enemies on infinity mode: - Players will be able to complete their build, getting recruits, upgrades, new relics (up to 8 total), sacrifices and shops every 2 fights - Enemies will get stronger with better units and get an extra relic every 10 fights (up to 8 total) Additionally, you can now skip any reward screen

I've added infinity mode (at the end of a run, you can keep fighting increasingly difficult enemies) and fixed some bugs (enemy taking over your army, smoke bomb on boss fights).

Added the witch hunter achievement after defeating the Coven at 30 difficulty, you should also get it upon loading the game if you beat the game at 30 difficulty in the past. Fixed the consecutive stalemates bug, the softlock bug and some bugs regarding the interaction of marching boots with other items and relics.

Now immortals cannot kill kings or generals, this should make immortal endgames less tedious.

Minor bug fixes

Fixing the freeze bug after Tabitha (it's due to people playing the demo version after having killed Edea in the full game)

Minor bugfixes

Minor bugfixes

Added a fix for an issue where the game didn't bring you to the title screen properly after losing.

The Ouroboros King combines the tactical depth of chess with the build variety and replayability of roguelikes. Build a formidable army, discover powerful relics, and buy surprising gadgets to defeat the Covenant.
