Zero Sum Dev Log #6 - New Sum Barrier Operator Mode Features

The Sigma Operator is intended as a very powerful crowd control, merging all hit numbers into one single target to deal with. The real problem is, how to incorporate 3 different weapon modes into it? Mode 1 is simple, a lob AoE, easy to aim, useful in certain situations. Sum Barrier is basically Mode 1, but stationary, but can absorb and sum numbers together over a longer time period. Magnet Au…

Zero Sum Dev Log #4 - The Euler Owl

A Taylor series builds a function out of infinitely many terms, each one smaller, but there are always more. The Owl's volleys work in a similar way: ignore them, and the expansion keeps adding numbers until the screen is more enemies than paper. Reduce them to zero or drown. Wishlist now — the numbers are counting on you not to.

Zero Sum Dev Log #3 - Modulo, the player's nuke

There's a 960 on screen. It's angry, it's TANKY and your minus does 1 damage. You could be here all day. Or you could fire one %80 and watch it solve all your problems. Modulo replaces a number with the remainder after division. 960 divided by 80 is exactly 12, remainder zero. The bigger numbers in the game are just one good Mod Blast away from nothing, if you can do the math in your head. Modu…

Happy Pi Approximation Day! - Zero Sum Dev Log #2

Today is July 22nd. 22/7. Pi Approximation Day. Close enough to π and close enough to meet the Pie Pi Boss! π's digits go on forever and never repeat, which makes them perfect projectiles to hunt the player. Pie Pi fires sequences of Pi numbers each phase and every number has to be reduced to zero to expose a weakspot. Find away to its core and reduce this to zero to win this boss fight. Wishli…

Zero Sum Dev Log #1

Now that Steam Next Fest is over and the Demo is polished, it's time to start the Dev Log! I'm making good progress with the game and release is still planned for Q4 2026 , still a lot to do, though. Currently working on finishing all phases and mechanics for all the bosses and am already ~55% done with it. I refined the Matryoshka (Nested Doll) boss a bit more and introduced a new enemy type w…
