Devlog (Jul 30, 2025)

Hi, here's what I did since the last devlog:

• Fixed 0.11 bugs

• Made optimizations for pathfinding, dungeon generation

• Implemented Tiled map parsing and remade town in Tiled

• Added scene where MC sees Seri on a bounty poster (to give MC incentive to become an adventurer)

• Made a bunch of polish-related changes (see changelog)

I decided to release these changes as v0.12 on #patron-releases.

Also, for various reasons, I decided to not release v0.11 on itch (TLDR I see v0.12 as an addendum to v0.11). I will release v0.12 on itch when I release v0.13 on #patron-releases. (I plan to focus on new content for v0.13.)

Changelog

For 0.11

• Fixed bug where items get reordered when enchanting items

• Fixed bug where companions don't use summon spells from a distance

• Optimized input handling performance (cache input state)

• Optimized pathfinding (optimized pathfinding for smite-targeting abilities (e.g. explosion, potions, monsters don't consider using teleportation spells on future turns, optimized "Am I levitating?" check for when lots of hazards are in fov, optimized "Is ability usable?" check for when lots of enemies are in fov, optimize red map calculation in general, use objects instead of closures, reduce allocations, data structure improvements, make some objects lazily)

• Fixed bug where freezing abilities don't end the turn

• Fixed bug where red map doesn't do the pulsing animation

• Fixed bug where ring of acrobatics increases evasion for 2 turns (instead of 1)

• Fixed bug where companions summon minions when there are no enemies
