Welcome to the April devlog for Glory's Fools! Here's a quick update on the progress I made in the game so far:

New Maps: I've added a few new maps to the game:

Serpentine Forest
Serpent's Sanctum
Myrmidon's Cave
Nemean Forest
Players can expect to encounter a variety of challenging enemies in these new maps, including Gorgons, Lamia, Myrmidons, and a bunch of new strong and vicious beasts.

New Overworld Sprites: I've also added new overworld sprites for some of the Hunter's Guild targets. These new sprites will provide a fresh look and feel to the game and hopefully make the targets more interesting to encounter.

Gameplay Mechanics: I've been working on various gameplay mechanics, including combat, movement, and puzzle-solving. I want to ensure that players will have a fun and engaging experience while playing the game.

Storyline: Grey is becoming more involved in directing the players in the game. I've added Athena to the game, and she has her own motives as well. I've also added more kings in various cities in Greece, some with their own side quests for the player. The game's storyline is in development, and I'm focusing on creating an immersive and compelling story that will keep players engaged throughout the game.

That's it for this month's devlog! Stay tuned for more updates in the future. I'm excited about the progress I've made so far and can't wait for players to experience the world of Glory's Fools.

Greetings Heroes!

Another year of development in the books. I want to say first this is the final year I will be working on Glory’s Fools so I’ll be aiming for monthly updates as I start to get all the pieces in order.

This new update is so players can have a game more in line with what the final build of Glory’s Fools will be.

Starting off with combat. I have changed the starting skills and also changed how some of the characters function in the game. Barbarus is still the the strongest physical member, but Moros isn’t a slog to fight with anymore.

I removed some of the mandatory battles. I received feedback that they’re a bit tedious and I agree. I have switched their placement and reduced them in areas with random battles active.

I have added some new elements for the weapons. Some weapons have special abilities that only they can unlock.
Some weapons and armors give the wearer abilities.
I have added some but I will add more as I polish up the database. For now, be sure to try the Lucky Pendant that Grey gives you.

I have changed some of the formulas for critical hits and damage. I also have removed dexterity as a stat.

This leaves ATK INT SPD HP and MANA as the stats that will vary upon level up.

I’m still working on balancing combat, so if something seems too strong or too weak early game let me know.

Fixed a soft lock that occurs if the player is able to bypass the Thebes castle guard.
I found out about why my Satyrs weren’t disappearing after the battle. I corrected that oversight.

I have added a challenge map to the world of Glory’s Fools, the Pit of Hades. Only your main character will be able to enter and you will have to beat in one attempt as there are no save points in the map. As you venture forth the enemies get stronger and stronger. But if you manage to beat them all, you will take on Thanatos himself and unlock a hidden weapon or Armor.

For the majority of the demo everything is the same, some characters are added to make things a bit less repetitive in appearance.

Hey there everyone!


Changelog:



I had been going back and forth in my mind about the size of some of the maps.

Added some plot variation depending on your Gender
Male/Masc Characters can explore and extra area to recruit the Shrew
