Devlog #1 | Reign

— ⇻ INTRODUCTION ⇺ —

Welcome to reign’s devlog.

Reign is a fighting game with a permadeath mechanic in which you seek out people that can teach you extraordinary abilities and try to best the unforgiving environment.

The game is still not that grounded which means combat mechanics may be changed and things like that. I have quite an ambitious plan for the game like making enemy AIs, having a brewing system and other stuff. But, to prevent me from getting burnt out of the game, I’m just avoiding those things and just focus on other much more important stuff.

With all of that said, let’s talk about where the game is currently at.
