• Devlog #2 - 0.3.7 - Into the Fog - 4 September 2026

Dungeon maps no longer show everything from the start, the bow has three new skills, and busy rooms received a performance pass. We also improved coating feedback and combat presentation, while fixing problems that could get in the way during a run. The dungeon keeps its secrets The map reveals only what your character can see. Places you have already explored stay mapped, while spaces and enemies beyond walls remain hidden. More reasons to keep the bow drawn Rapid Shooting keeps a fast sequence of arrows on one dangerous target. Arrow Shower marks an area and rains arrows into a group. Stepback Arrow combines a retreating dodge with a powerful shot when an enemy closes in. These skills join the normal and charged attacks from 0.3.6, adding choices after the opening arrow and…

• Ashikai is coming! - 25 April 2026

  Ashikai is a dark fantasy isometric action RPG set in a yokai-cursed feudal Japan. You play as Shinro, a samurai cut off from his lord after an ambush, fighting through cursed roads, caves, and ruined strongholds to find Lord Kuroda and make his way back to his family.Combat is built around precise katana timing: parries, clean hits, committed attacks, enemy tells, and mistakes that matter. Enemies can react, defend, dodge, punish bad positioning, and pressure you if you push too far before you are ready.The announcement trailer is live now. If Ashikai looks like your kind of game, please wishlist it on Steam. It helps a lot, especially this early.We’ll be posting more updates here as development continues: combat clips, dungeon progress, enemy showcases, devlogs, and behind-the-scenes work on the game.Thanks for checking it out.- One Isometric Man
