- Road to Launch: Final Playable Character and Release - 6 April 2025
Here's a brief showcase of the Ravager, the final playable character in FIENDRISE: a mobile fiend with powerful melee abilities and a unique passive that grants permanent stat boosts over time. It’s been a blast to play and test! Aside from that, I've been finalizing the game: adding the final boss, reworking parts of the UI, implementing in-game achievements, attempting to add controller support, and of course, doing a lot of playtesting~ This is my first ever public game and a solo-developed project, so it's definitely been a journey over the past few months. But now it's time to get ready for release! I'm aiming to launch as soon as possible: stay tuned.
- Road to Launch: Final Biome, New Playable Fiends and More! - 22 March 2025
Today I’m revealing the fourth and final stage of FIENDRISE; the Barrens: a harsh wasteland filled with the strongest enemies in the game, with each level featuring multiple bosses. I’m also introducing 2 new playable fiends, bringing the roster to 8 characters: Twilight Reaper: a powerful summoner wielding a deadly mix of spells and minions. Lively Tree: a resilient fiend that thrives on HP stacking to enhance its skillset. The game is still on track for a March 2025 release. I’m focusing on polishing and fixing technical issues and I’m working to launch alongside an extra game mode: Arena Mode. Stay tuned!
- Road to Launch: Three New Mutations - 3 February 2025
Three new mutations added, bringing the total to 23! Mutations are the automatic weapons in FIENDRISE, each one is unique and can evolve further by meeting specific conditions. One example is the new Alien Claw, which fires extra bubbles based on the player's defense! Here’s a quick rundown of the three new mutations: • Alien Claw: fires piercing bubbles that deal high damage. The damage scales with the player's attack, mutation level, and defense, enabling a hybrid tank playstyle. • Devil Eye: summons a minion every 8 seconds that fires piercing attacks at nearby enemies. The spawn rate and firepower of these summons can be increased, making for a true summoner-like playstyle. • Sbrongo: leaves a trail of poisonous bubbles. Its evolution unlocks a unique mechanic: poison damage that scales with the player's MAX HP! More to come~

Shaman: An uncommon enemy with the ability to fire rotating fireballs. Snake Saint: A rare enemy capable of summoning magic crystals that chase you in unpredictable paths. Boss teasers are coming soon, so stay tuned for more!
