Axu
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

It's been a busy year for me, despite the global pandemic. I'll keep it quick here.

There's some new stuff, some fixes, and even some removals in this update. Enjoy!

Changes:

  • New tracks by Comemism!
  • Damage is no longer noted by dice. Instead, items and abilities have a "Power" level which determines its base effectiveness in combat. This is the first stage in a combat and progression overhaul.
  • Increased damage based on proficiency with attacking weapon type.
  • More biomes have edge transitions between each other.
  • More NPC types.
  • New quests.
  • Felonies can be given unique base body artwork.
  • Added base body art for Experiment, Technophile, and Fool.
  • Added required and nullifying progress flags for dialogue nodes.
  • NPC unique id counter resets upon going to the main menu.
  • Items with the LocationMap component no longer cause saves to not load.
  • At higher resolutions/scales, the camera will no longer jump on the X axis when both sides of the screen are visible at the same time.
  • Typo fixes.
  • Being over-burdened now can decrease you to a minimum of 1 move speed.
  • Removed external limb items and external limb slots. Too much upkeep and complexity.
  • Removed map light sources.
  • Simplified body part and ability flags.
  • Added support for using larger map sizes.
  • Added missing Localize() method call for amputation dialog option.
  • Added console commands for listing various asset types with their names and IDs.
  • Moved Obituary text to a JSON file.
  • Using mouse for movement displays the path to the hovered tile.
  • Save files no longer need to be named the same name as your character. (Though they are by default)
  • You can have multiple saves with the same character name. Similar names will be appended by a number. Eg. Cynapse2, Cynapse3, etc.
  • Special characters can be used in character and map creation.
  • Equipment panel scrollbar is no longer unconstrained.
  • Followers sent home will no longer appear beside you upon load.
  • Removed maps with switches that cause stack overflows.
  • Crystallization no longer causes an error when trying to crystalize a body part.
  • Misc code improvements.
