Goodness, has it only been ten days? A lot has changed! The three big ones: 1. A new boss in the Warehouse biome! Balance is a near-total unknown with this guy, let me know how your encounters go! I can beat him without too much difficulty but, y'know, I'm the dev. 2. Seeded runs! Every day, the game will provide a new "normal" and "hard" seed for you to try. Both use randomized spell loadouts, wi...

Hey folks, this is a stability/bugfix patch. I've found and fixed a few issues that could cause the game to crash or to hang indefinitely. Please let me know if these issues return! I've also added a way to force the game to crash. If you *do* get stuck in an indefinite hang, you can create the file "crash_if_this_file_exists.txt" in the game's Content/Streaming folder (e.g. at C: Program Files (x...

Apologies for the delay since the last build! I was slowed down by a mix of large changes (achievements! new enemy!), laying some groundwork for showing the game at Magfest in January, and that old bugbear, health issues. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the updates! Gameplay/balance changes: - Add achievements! They're incomplete, I'm waiting on artwork for several. Be sure to check out the in-game achie...

The big one here is I fixed the "allies are enemies for one turn" bug. Sorry about that! It was a build-only bug, i.e. didn't reproduce inside the editor, which made it harder to track down than expected. Gameplay/Balance changes: - Using water to put out fire tiles now creates a protective steam cloud, instead of a damaging burst of steam. Using fire on Wet combatants still creates the steam burs...

Gameplay/balance changes: - Added a new music track to the back half of the Labs biome. This track will be added to the official soundtrack on Steam momentarily. - Added a prototype assitive input (bound to Q on keyboard, or the left face button on gamepads, by default). At the moment, this input jumps the tactical cursor between enemies, ordered by their distance to the player. Feedback welcome! ...

I'm a bit of a sucker for match-3 games and Torment Hexus has style oozing out of it, so it was a must-played for me and it's great. Read the full article here:

Whew, it's been a busy few days here! But everyone seems to be having a good time, and that's what counts. Thank you for checking out my game!My top priority in the next few weeks goes to addressing bugs and gameplay issues that y'all report. I'm aware of degrading performance towards the end of each run, for example, and am busy investigating that. Also, if you're wondering why the corporation / ...

I love how indie developers keep coming up with the coolest sounding ideas. Torment Hexus is a recent discover and I can't wait to take down technofascist CEOs. Read the full article here:
