Hello Wielders,We've been meaning to write this devblog for a while. The honest reason it took so long is that every time someone sat down to summarise where the game was, somebody else would push a new feature into the build and the summary would be out of date. So we eventually gave up waiting for a quiet moment and decided to just write the dang thing.Working hard, or hardly working? There's a ...

Hello Wielders! What’s this? Two patches in one week? I guess we are feeling weirdly productive during Next Fest! We've now added something we've been wanting to try for a while: Twitch chat integration. Plus a big expansion of trinkets and a bunch of fixes that we hope will make the game feel noticeably smoother. Streamers, this one's for you! When you level up, your Twitch chat can now vote on w...

Based on all feedback during the last 12 hours we have now pushed...

Hello Wielders!We've got two things to share today. First: Wielders of the Essence isn't quite the game we first showed you. Second: A demo launches on February 23rd during Steam Next Fest.But let's back up a bit.When we announced the game, we described it as an intense survivors-like where "frustration and flow co-exist." The playtester feedback we got was encouraging. People thought it was good!...

Hello Wielders,Much of our time right now is spent “dogfooding". (It’s a real term, I promise!) It basically means trying your own product out and improving as you discover what works and what doesn’t. So right now we are ferociously building features, trying them, noticing what feels off, making adjustments, and then repeating the loop. It is a steady rhythm of small discoveries and small correct...

Greetings Wielders,I’m Niklas, the CTO of Lavapotion, here today with a devblog about how we are working with the levels for Wielders. Well, since this is a game with a much shorter development time than compared to Songs of Conquest, we need to figure out two things related to the levels!First, there’s the question of “How important should exploration be in WotE?”. Many other games in the genre h...
