- UPDATE 5 - NOW THIS IS A CHALLENGE! - 10 June 2022
Well met, Adventurers! Today we are releasing CONTENT UPDATE 5 for Yaengard! Added Nightmare Difficulty Unspoken Modes Challenge Modes Nightmare Difficulty In playtesting Yaengard, we always found it interesting when you had to make hard decisions to survive. This works great when the game is difficult, but a hard game is tough to get into as a new player. While we heavily prefer games with a single difficulty (from Super Mario to the 'Souls games), we have decided to add Nightmare difficulty. Nightmare difficulty can be applied to any other challenge or unspoken run, turning the game into a gritty-realism experience of resource management, tough decisions, and harsh survival. Unspoken Modes Can you unlock them all? Apart from a challenge, we also wanted Yaengard to have some sense of progression outside the roguelike-style "runs". Therefore, we have added a 5-step "Unspoken modes" wher…

- ROADMAP - Yaengard's updates after release - 3 May 2022
One of the hardest things about making an indie game is prioritization. You're in a natural state of a billion ideas, each one more daring than what a AAA studio would take a risk on. But on the other hand, resources are scarce - time being the most costly one. We have so many ideas that had to be skipped, postponed, or changed to be able to make the amazing game that is now nearly here. But then, with no further ado, I present to you our plans for after May 5th! New Encounters In development, we were always worried about encounter density. We wanted each adventure to feel different and varied - which I do think we achieved. However, in brainstorming, we have SO MANY crazy ideas for encounters that we would love to put into play. More legendary challenges, rare enemies, rare bosses/elites, better shopkeepers, complex skill challenges, and much more! We plan to bring these encounters for…
