We just launched our second Kickstarter for APEXICON - Fantasy Puzzle Combat. On the page, you can download the Alpha and try out the game for yourselves. Thanks!
Welcome to Actos Games' second game in development, Apexicon! I'm working on a game akin to Puzzle Quest, where instead of matching orbs, you make words to deal damage and build your spells and skills with. I'm currently creating it in Construct 2, and I've gotten quite a bit of it done - it's not quite a game yet, but you can currently: - Enter words
- Erase words
- Sort of attack?
Here's a current screenshot of what I've got so far, all the graphics are TENTATIVE. Looking for graphic designers and sound guys to help, but I've been soloing it thus far. If you're wondering about the first game I was working on, Mr. Wave, I've shelved it for the time being until I get this idea out of my head. I came up with it while moving and thought it as an awesome game to play on the go on your phone or something. I'll be keeping this devlog on here and on my company website, as well as updating the indiedb page as I go along! I'm planning on making the game F2P upon release, with other classes as DLC, and potentially other various things you can buy for cheap. Thanks for following along!

Quick update, I have got letter selection working, once you select the letters, it will erase them from the board. Using the erase call will return them so you can re-select your word. Still working on making new letters appear after using them. Quick GIF: Coming along nicely!

DevLog Updates; Today should be the end of the bug where you can type infinite amounts of letters Also should be finishing up the letters being erased and which ones make what work. Should be lots of fun! I'll have a GIF of these working as soon as I finish them.

New workday, new GIF. There is now a 12 character limit to enter words, and a subsequent mention of your erroneous ways!

Some more updates: Currently working on making the columns still work - I have to write events out for every circumstance of what the player will do, and what letters will be left on the board - luckily, once this is done for the first column, I can copy and paste it across the other columns for quick work! Just this part is the part that takes a long time coding -just right-. Have a gif of the third column working, though!

Some non-gameplay news, but I have secured a composer for the game, and I think his work will perfectly match the style and feel for the game provided. It's possible soon I will be able to post a demo and/or video for you guys to play and comment on. Score!

More non-gameplay news - I have an artist interested in the game, and should be updating with some sweet art as soon as available!
Secondly, I'm taking a bit to flesh out the world and characters, and the overall feel to the world. I want players to feel like they're entering a unique dimension that all pertains to words and spelling.
On the coding side, I had to create a list of all the event types I have to work on to be able to make sure that everything is complete. Once that's done, I'll be able to copy and paste that across the other columns for quick work!

Today will be the rest of finishing up the columns, then it's on to hooking up the dictionary! A friend of mine loaned me a link to a good free dictionary database, so things should be easy peasy. At least I hope so

Thanks man! With an artist supposedly coming on board, I'll be able to crank out more visuals matched up to the gameplay.

Today should be the big day - adding the dictionary functionality and setting up damage values. Lots of fun to ensue!
