Thanks bacon!

nestoriaan: yeah, It would be unfair to the project to actually say that I don't take it seriously. It does seem to be moving out of the realm of hobby project into something a bit bigger. PCGamer did contact us before doing the writeup for some question, it was rather out of the blue though. Being an old PCGamer magazine fan from back in the 90s this was pretty huge for me personally.
Thanks for stopping by again!

Rewrote the Level Serialization system so that it handles multiple types of boardAssets and not just tiles.
Working on an asset post to show TavernSet process as well as the custom Substance Painter filters created in Substance Designer.

Finally started some work on the fog of war system.

I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else says, it looks really good! Very consistent style and atmosphere. Great job. I also like the pop in effect of the tiles.

After looking at the gif a few times I noticed the lightning on the wall from the torches doesn't come off like flickering and more like quick left/right movement.

Thank you, very much appreciate that!  Yeah... you noticed that. I've been meaning to go in there and fix that with some other tweaks to the fire as well cause I totally agree. Thanks for pointing it out though, should hopefully encourage me to make the change sooner.

Maybe some slight variantion in light intensity and/or size of the light would help?

But otherwise the torch light has already a good "tavern feeling" to it.

Good call! I'll give that a shot.  Thanks!

I need to post these here as they're way cool. It was posted on twitter by tigsource's own @Skydsgaard_ on the subject of handling stairs. (and other things as well for that matter). It was really inspiring and made me feel rather special that Skydsgaard took the time to look at this conundrum.

Likewise, saw a tweet. Had no idea there was even a devlog here. Just commenting to follow, looks amazing.

If you built the circular base for the model to stand on into the normal stair art (instead of having it morph into shape), it would create an affordance to communicate to players that they can end a turn or move on the stairs, which doesn't exist in the "normal" stair art (the player will have to guess if that's a valid move or not since it doesn't look like it can hold a model normally).

Alternatively you could do the morphing on mouse over to communicate the same affordance but keep the immersion of "normal-looking" stair art when not in use.

mrKaizen & oldblood: Thanks a bunch! :D

Chris Pavia: That is a really good point. Not entirely sure how to handle this still, but I believe readability is quite important of course. Will play around with both options. Thanks for the feedback
