Hello everyone! We're happy to finally announce Skeletal Avenger. We wanted to do this a bit earlier this year, but the pandemic situation with daycare and school closures derailed our schedule a bit. However, we're now there! And at least for the time being, the epidemic situation in Finland is on the decline so that's also good news.
We're also mostly working remotely but that has had only minor effects on the development. The communication might be a bit harder, but other than that no big surprises for us. We've been working remotely part time before, so we already had all the systems ready.
Some people may wonder what we mean by reverse roguelite. There are multiple aspects, but one of the main things is that you ascend from the dungeon instead of descending forever. The other thing is that the game is more episodic: You can complete a revenge quest or die trying. If you complete the quest, the spirit is freed and another re-animated skeleton will continue with another revenge. The rewards gathered by the previous avenger can be used to make the next one more powerful. So you die constantly and it is part of the fun, but in a different way from many other roguelites.
That's it for today. We'll keep posting news on the store page so wishlist and follow for all the latest info!
