Greetings #PitchYaGame! ♎️In Zodiac Legion, turn-based dungeon crawling meets strategic kingdom management. ⚔️Authentic medieval combat 🥷Customize your armour one piece at a time 🏰Explore destructible dungeons 💀Triumph over death in a time of reawakening magic

In our quest to revamp the armoured combat system to make it more authentic, I was thinking about adding stances for things like half-swording, but I fail to find many examples in tactical games and RPG.

Working until 3AM to implement a feature (level up+animated level up button) to discover that it cannot work until an old bug is fixed: The horizontal lines are randomly mangled when going from texture to screen (event at 1:1):

The Elon Musk nazi salute question reminded me that at some point, we had let a neo-nazi symbol slip into ZodiacLegion: Someone on Twitter pointed out these runes were also a neo-nazi symbol now, as they were used in the castle of Wewelsburg, the SS, called the Black Sun.

I just found out that on some player computers, the game would halt to a crawl when loading a level, briefly leaving fullscreen (as if alt tabbed). It should be fixed now: Stay tuned for more coding tips!

Here is a great usecase of getting Claude AI to write code for you (in cursor): The designer sent me an aseprite file that would be impractical to turn into a tilesheet (as lines are not horizontal). The solution worked out of the box, but would add part of the other tiles :
