Fresh game icon just dropped! Like it or hate it? 🔥 / 💩

- Here's the main one - Overlord - 12 March 2026

- The High Mage of the Human Kingdom - 26 February 2026

- Character barks in battle - yay or nay? 🔥 - 27 December 2025
Testing a new feature — in-combat character barks! 🎭They react to danger, new enemies appearing, and can even troll the player 😄What do you think of this mechanic?
- Our game intro is live and ready to drop you right into the action! 🔥 - 13 December 2025
If you've already checked out the demo, this vibe will be familiar 😉 But for those who haven't — this is your chance to get a real feel for the atmosphere!Why does the intro matter? Think of it as that first, powerful strike that sparks your imagination. It sets the tone, lets you know the world of Overlord is something special, and hooks you from the very first second.Plus, we've leveled it up with professional voice acting in both English and Russian. And we're not done yet — a couple more epic scenes are still in the works, so get ready!We're absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. What do you think?
- Meet Lyria ✨ — Where elegance is a weapon - 5 December 2025
While the Overlord crushes his enemies head-on, Lyria commands the battlefield with a predator's grace. Once a trusted royal advisor, she now serves as the Overlord's chief strategist and the true heart of his army.Her strength isn't in a blade, but in absolute control:🧠 Mind Control: Why fight your enemies when you can make them fight each other? She turns the enemy's greatest strength against themselves.🛡️ Magic Shield: A barrier of pure energy that appears at the perfect moment, turning certain defeat into a fighting chance.💫 Teleport: She moves with blinding speed, striking where she's least expected and controlling the flow of battle.Lyria isn't just a mage—she's the one who wins battles without taking a single step forward. And for her Overlord, she will go to the very end.So, which style is closer to yours: the Overlord's raw power or Lyria's cold, calculated tactics?
- The Call of Darkness has begun 💀 - 28 November 2025
The battlefield has a new master — meet the Overlord. Once a hero, now a legend whispered by the dead. Empowered by the Orb of Death, he's here to claim his throne.This is what makes him a force to be reckoned with:☠️ Undead Touch: A single strike that doesn't just kill an enemy—it raises them back up as a skeleton under his command.🦴 Summon Undead: He builds his army from the ground up.Level 1: Your basic bony soldier.Level 2: Death Knight — a steel-clad wrecking ball for close combat.Level 3: Lich Mage — a long-range nightmare with fire in its eyes.🌀 Absorption: A vortex of pure darkness that saps the strength and will from multiple foes at once. The higher the level, the more chaos it unleashes.And this is only the first act. The Overlord is preparing new spells, and trust me, things are about to get heated.
- The Invasion is Coming! ⚔️ - 20 November 2025
Alister's reports are in, and the news is dire. A full-scale invasion is on the horizon, and the Overlord isn't one to wait behind castle walls. He and Liria are taking to the battlefield personally to handle this threat.Get ready for an epic, large-scale brawl—a true clash of steel and magic with no quarter given. This is our first look at the new "Invasion" level in action. What do you think? 👇And to even the odds, the Overlord is calling in some heavy backup: the Death Knight and the Lich Mage. You might recognize them as the high-tier summons from his "Raise Undead" spell, but now you'll get to see them wreak havoc firsthand.We'll be doing deep dives on each of these powerful new allies soon. But for now, let us know your first impressions in the comments! 💀🔥
- Gamepad Support is Coming! Play From Your Couch! 🎮 - 13 November 2025
Great news, everyone! One of our most requested features is on its way: full gamepad support is coming in our next big update (v0.3.0)!Now you can sink into your couch, grab a controller, and dive into tactical battles without the keyboard-and-mouse gymnastics. We're tuning the controls to feel just as responsive as the PC version, but a whole lot cozier. 😉The Plan: Right now, we're focusing on making the game feel fantastic on Steam Deck. And the dream? To see the game on Nintendo Switch and other consoles someday. Your support (yes, those wishlists!) is what will help make that dream a reality.We Need Your Help! We're looking for playtesters! If you have a Steam Deck or primarily game with a controller, we need you!✍️ Reply to this post or send me a DM if you're interested in helping us test the controls in the future. We're aiming to start tests after the New Year, and your feedback…
- Leveling Up Our Dialogue Scenes! - 6 November 2025
We're working on a visual upgrade for the story dialogues in the game. Right now, it's the classic setup—character avatars and text. It works, but it's missing that "wow" factor.Now, imagine this: instead of small portraits, you see full-body characters standing in front of you, talking. The atmosphere instantly becomes more immersive, right? ⚔️We're already experimenting! To avoid spending months on final art for a concept that might not work, we used AI (Gemini) to create quick mockups. And honestly, we were pleasantly surprised by how good they look! 😄We're now getting these into Unity to see how they feel in the actual game. If you guys love the direction, we'll move forward with creating fully hand-drawn art for all the heroes.Now, we'd love to know what you think:What's your take on full-body characters in dialogues?Do you usually read these scenes, or are you a skip-button champ…
- All Hallows' Eve is upon us once again - 31 October 2025
I look down and see you all playing dress-up with the darkness, wearing it like a cheap, off-the-rack costume from the party store. It’s almost cute. Almost.My skeletal legions have no need for masks. My liches do not beg for sweets. Their power is ancient, their terror is real—not some child's game played for a single night.So, as you decorate your porch, I offer you a true blessing for this season:May your pumpkins glow with a sinister, infernal light, not some dim, battery-operated flicker.May the creatures knocking at your door demand a worthy tribute, not a handful of cheap candy corn.And may the dread you feel in the cold, encroaching dark be sweet… for in that genuine fear lies true power.As for me… I believe I’ll partake in this “trick or treat.” My undead army is already on the march. I do hope you have something better stocked in your candy bowls than gummy worms. We have… mor…
