Hi there.

There's been some heavy development recently on the core of the game, the AI combat system. I just want to give you a rough overview of how it works (when it is finished), even though some things will probably still change.

Hi!

I intend to use this blog to give you information about the development progress, new and planned features, gameplay changes and so on.

See you soon,
