Shadowforge needs to rest down

Shadowforge · published

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello dear users.

I've decided to temporarily withdraw from working on Shadowforge for an unknown amount of time. I've learned a lot of GML from it, and I thought that I'd put that wizardry into use for my upcoming game title.

I've worked on Shadowforge for 7 years, with only a little fanbase... that's enough I hope to make me eventually finish my roguelite game "The Abyss Shadowed".

Fear not, for I will still update bug fixes to Shadowforge. I call this the Shadowforge LTS Build. Which is a long term stable build with no new gimmicks to add.

I hope you've enjoyed what I've made, and that you still look forward to me coding things.

If you want to take an early sneak peek at my game, go ahead and subscribe to my game dev diary on YouTube.

Join Discord if you want to socialise about it.

Best regards,

//Miki.
