Deathblight Jormungandr progress report for March 2026

 

Hello there ^^


This month I wrapped up the mapping for the last two remaining maps on Deathblight Jormungandr.

The new maps are to the north of the road leading to the Abandoned Village.

Here, you can find a ritual to unlock the last skill for Loki: Hyper Speed

The skill is supposed to give you an evasion bonus against enemy attacks.
It also allows Loki to double attack on normal attacks, building up TP faster.

I may need to tweak the skill more before the 0.95 release.
But that's the idea for now.

Inside the Tree Hut, you also find the new Event CG with the humanoid spider demon.
It took me quite some time to come up with a hopefully interesting trigger of the Event CG.
Basically inspired by signs people put up at Halloween, saying "please take only one", where sometimes people greed for more.
In this case, Loki can take more than one free potion, but if she greeds for too many, she will get the consequences to her actions.

I have only implemented the new Skill and the lead up to the new Event CG, but I haven't managed to finish writing the Event CG for this yet.

For April, the plan is to write the Event CG and implement the last two remaining Event CGs, which includes the "stuck in wall" one as well as the "victory CG".

After that, there's a lot of testing to be done before the 0.95 version can be released to supporters of our Game-Subscribestar.
Which again, is technically the 1.0.
But we will seperately do a dedicated 1.0 release after people have played the game, reported bugs and gave feedback, and I was able to apply at least one final round of fixes and adjustments before I call it done.

Anyways, that's all for March.

I'll be seeing you again in April ^^

Deathblight Jormungandr February 2026 progress report

 

 

 Hello everyone ^^

This month is quite straightforward, as I've been busy processing commission e-mails for the past 3 weeks, as well as gathering as much feedback for Deathblight Jormungandr as possible, those things occupied me for the month.

The plan for March is to include the feedback I collected into the game.
As well as working on the implementation of the last remaining CG scenes.
Namely the "stuck in wall" and "spider demon" event CGs.
As well as the victory CG scene.

Chances are that part of the work will at least carry over into April.
But we'll see how fast I can make progress.
There's also some mapping and other stuff to do.
And probably something I forgot.

Overall, we're approaching the 0.95 version of the game ^^
Which is technically the 1.0 full game.
Except that I figured I'd include the 1.0 designation only after our supporters played through the 0.95 and I had some time to fix critical bugs and all that.

But technically speaking, the 0.95 version would be the full game, yes.

Anyways, I'll see you with a proper progress report at the end of March ^^

Abandoned Village Underground

 
When you travel through the Abandoned Village, you are looking to gain access to some of the ruined houses, as well as traverse the underground tunnels.


What's next?
For the upcoming v0.95 release I want to include as much feedback as possible.

Then we'll also get:
- 2 Event CGs

The future v0.95 release will basically be the feature complete game.
Once feedback on that one has been gathered, potential bugs been fixed and the game been polished, it will be released as 1.0.

December 2025 - DB Jormungandr progress report

 

We wish you all a merry christmas and all the best towards a happy new year everyone! ^^

Amongst the festivities and usual december stress I managed to make steady progress on the maps to the point were aside of some minor tweaks and reworking, the main remaining work is placing decorations before the maps are fully done.
(as well as thorough testing of course)

Let's talk about some specifics on the map design and why I reworked some maps as well as the thoughts that went into it.

I want to start this off by saying that I lack experience with map design, but I hope my explanations and train of thought helps understand my decisions and what I took into consideration.


Note that the new maps shown here are WIP and may change until the 0.9 release.

The main consideration in regards to the "Abandoned Village" (Cursed Village) is the spacing between houses, the road etc.


Here's how the Safe Village looks:

 

And in comparison to that, the Abandoned Village, WIP: 

 

 
The reason for the wider spacing is because other than the Safe Village (the HUB), enemies are going to roam the streets in the Abandoned Village, and I want the player to be able to avoid some of the fights.

As with the previous areas, the intention is that you pick your fights.
If you need credits/gold or foes are in your path, you fight them, and if it's better to avoid a fight, for example because you are low on HP/MP, then you do that.
While some fights of course are unavoidable.
(e.g. boss fights or when you are cornered)

In other words, the wider streets allow for a chance to avoid combat, which was the main thought here.

The same holds true for the building interiors.

This here is the Safe Village Inn:

As comparison, the Abandoned Village Inn, also WIP:

 

The Abandoned Village interiors are slightly wider, giving the player room to navigate, or tables or other objects to run around to shake off enemies.


Even though the mapping took longer than expected, mainly due to revisions and figuring out what "feels good" in terms of gameplay, I do think the extra time put into it was worth it.

While I could have just "slapped it together" or kept the building interiors simplified or even identical, I believe the extra time invested into them was for the better.
They will not be perfect, sure.
But if it improves the mapping at all, that's good.

Either way, I'm also aware I need to wrap things up soon and move on from the mapping, as I can't exactly endlessly edit the maps.
The "story" or rather the dialogues still need to be written, but the maps had been the biggest chunk of work on this one, aside the implementation and writing for the enemies (which has been completed a while ago).

There's currently no release date for version 0.9 but we're getting very very close!
As I said before, this is almost the final version of the game, so I want to put as much work and effort into it as I can.

The main difference between the upcoming 0.9 version and 1.0 will be bug fixes, balancing adjustments, and the addition of 2 Event CG scenes.

But we'll get into that in a future post, likely after version 0.9 was released for our Game-Subscribestar supporters.

That is all for now.
Have a wonderful new year and I'll be seeing you in 2026 ^^

DB Jormungandr November 2025 progress report

 

Welcome to November's summary of our work progress ^^

To get that out of the way first:
I unfortunately fell ill this month for a week and thus wasn't as productive as I hoped for.
But I still made good progress otherwise and aside of this delay, we're otherwise on track ^^


I've been working on the mapping for the 3rd and final area (Cursed Village) this month as planned.

There's some things I struggled with, as I'm quite inexperienced with map design etc.
So I'll talk about the previous maps for this to make sense.

The 1st area (Northern Swamp + Goblin Caves) felt quite basic, but still solid I believe.
Now I really like the 2nd area (Cursed Forest) with the forest maze and the Stalker hunting down Loki which creates some urgency and adds to the chaos of the maze.

For the 3rd area that I am currently working on (Cursed Village), I tried really hard to come up with something that makes it similarly interesting as the Cursed Forest.
But ultimately, I couldn't think of something and decided to just go with a basic map like the Northern Swamp again.
(which isn't bad, but also not great either)

Anyways, the map currently has 8 houses (WIP) and tunnels beneath the earth that connect some of the houses with each other.

The idea is that Loki has to traverse the tunnels to, ultimately, get to the center house where the area's bossfight will be inside.

Here's a currently WIP screenshot of the center house:
 

Cursed Village WIP, without any decorations yet.

When you clear the bossfight, this time the enemies in the area will remain.
The idea here is that you should be able to fight the new enemy types even after clearing the bossfight.
(the previous goblins were also still fight-able after clearing the boss, but only when you gotten into the earlier regions of each area)

The Spiderlings will be mostly in the tunnels and some of the house ruins.
While the Draugr are basically everywhere where there's no Spiderlings.


Throughout December I plan to flesh out the maps and assemble the final area as much as I can.
I'm not exactly sure when the 0.9 version will be released as there's still a lot of work to be done and I need to test and bugfix the 0.9 before releasing it to supporters, which entirely depends on how many bugs I have to fix, which is always unpredictable haha

But! I can confidently say that we are approaching the finishing line ^^

Deathblight Jormungandr progress report October 2025

 

Hello there and welcome to October's post ^^

This month, I got to work on the "Spiderling" enemy for Deathblight Jormungandr.
We decided to go with a spider-demon mix of a creature for the game, instead of a pure spider.

Same as the Draugr, the Spiderling is NOT ingame yet.
Both enemies will be released as part of the 3rd and final area in a couple months in the 0.9 update.

You can get the previous 0.61 version of the game here:
https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2017281


Now... what is the Spiderling about?

I'm currently in the process of tweaking the combat mechanics for it still.
The idea is that it's a "horde enemy", so I will probably not give it too mean mechanics as the gimmick will already be centered around it being a horde.
Different from the goblins, there will be fights where these enemies can 'replenish' their numbers unless you destroy the nest.

At least that is the theory behind that, as I said, I'm still tweaking the combat mechanics a bit and haven't found something that feels right at the time of writing this.


For the combat CG and game over CG:

I finished writing for both, the combat CG is basically two Spiderlings spitroasting Loki.

While the game over CG is about egg-laying which I feel is fitting for the spider-like creatures.
(see screenshot above)


For the upcoming month, I plan to polish up the Draugr and Spiderling gameplay and start work on the maps for the 3rd area.

The idea for the 3rd area is an abandoned, cursed village.

As you may have guessed, the Draugr are the former inhabbitants while the Spiderlings moved into the ruins and tunnels after the village was abandoned.
More on that in next month's post ^^
