  Most everything is ready for chapter 2. All dungeons, cards and enemies are in, including their graphics. I also filled out the in-game chronicle a little for story events related to the new chapter... Continue reading

  
• Some minibosses

  I progressed a fair amount, so I thought I may as well share a few tidbits. First, minibosses. I’m occasionally adding filler boss enemies that have no plot relevance, and are only there to test out... Continue reading

  
• Chess cats
  April 17, 2020 by JustACicada

  A few more monsters. First, the axolotl. These little fellows use a lot of poison cards, but don’t have that much firepower otherwise. They appear in an area with changing high/low tide, and while m... Continue reading

  
• More monsters (kobolds? amoebas?)
  April 03, 2020 by JustACicada

  I’ve got quite a few new monsters working. Here’s some. These are part of a family of creatures I’ve named “orebeasts” because I couldn’t think of anything better. Battles in this game tak... Continue reading

  
• Some more dungeons
  March 27, 2020 by JustACicada

  Most dungeons for the next chapter are finished. Here’s one: It’s supposed to be a dam of some sort. It’s quick and short, and it exists mainly as an extended tutorial for a peculiar magnetism-b... Continue reading

  
• Magnetic puzzles
  March 13, 2020 by JustACicada

  Just a quick devlog to stop the radio silence. Another functional area has been fully built. This one ended up being a little bigger than I expected it to be, but it's a plot-relevant area so it will... Continue reading

  
• A dragon and electromagnetism
  February 28, 2020 by JustACicada

  Most of the week was spent designing a new character. A dragon to boot. Here's the good fellow: A primeval dragon, manifestation of a fundamental force in nature, electromagnetism. Named him "Magnes"... Continue reading

  February 14, 2020 by JustACicada

  The port to Android is pretty much finished, and if nothing goes wrong it should be up on Google Play Store next week. Quick comparison between PC / Android: Exploring dungeons requires keyboard inter... Continue reading

  
• Let's meet the characters
  February 07, 2020 by JustACicada

  Most progress since last update has taken place on the technical side of things, porting to mobile, something kind of dull and boring to do a devlog about. So let’s try something else. I noticed tha... Continue reading

  
• The ordeals of porting to mobile
  February 01, 2020 by JustACicada

  Ubiquatopia isn’t very resource-intensive (advantages of having average graphics at best), and given it is a slow-paced strategy game, I thought it would feel right at home in a mobile platform. I... Continue reading

  
• Water puzzles
  January 17, 2020 by JustACicada

  This game takes quite a bit of inspiration from the concept of fundamental interactions, with gravity at the lead. And gravity makes me think of low tide vs high tide, so this one next area is based a... Continue reading

  
• A few monsters and little else
  January 10, 2020 by JustACicada

  These last few weeks have mostly been spent planning, being sick, and unsuccessfully trying to port to Linux. Great start of the decade. But at least I managed to finish a few more monster designs. Th... Continue reading
