Last week’s challenge introduced the “Anima” mechanic - a spellcasting resource that you generate by rolling certain spells to empower others. The main new Anima spell featured was the Cue Ball spell, which just sends out a rolling projectile. This was the onl…

What have we been up to?The FeltfieldsAfter a quick touch up of the Casina Bank, we continued our marathon of designing all areas of the game with a return to the Feltfields! The Feltfields are the elevated plains where the factions of Ringbands and Purehides …

Last week’s challenge was testing some ‘passive' spells, which provide passive buffs while equipped rather than casting when rolled. These buffs turned out to be incredibly effective, with Lucky Charm giving a significant boost to damage output, and Heart Char…

Last week’s challenge featured a mechanic we’ve been wanting to test out for a long time - a weapon which attaches to a die face and rotates with it. It’s a very different way of thinking about the die’s positioning and it resulted in some very brainbending so…

Challenge RoundupThe last challenge involved Dash platforming with your choice of spells on top to switch things up. The best solution was 17 moves by Discord member Four, but my favourite is this 19-move solution by Grolter, featuring a clever use of the Coun…
