Cover art for my upcoming RPG Game Kyklos!

Hey all! Since the last devlog, I've done a ton of work, and development has been going well, so let's get into everything!

Everything New

STEAM PAGE! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4837050/Kyklos/

3 New songs!

6 New weapons!!

Armor!

Shopkeepers!

Polishing more areas, maps, as well as remaking some older areas!

Revamped combat system!

There's a ton more stuff, such as paperwork, contracts, and all that boring stuff, so I'll leave that out, but development is going well, and the rest of the first act's story is done! I've begun playing with concepts for the second act of the game, and I hope you guys will enjoy it! I'm still looking for a July/August release date for the demo so I can get it out by Steam Nextfest in October! I would make this devlog longer, but I can't just go on and spoil anything, so you'll just have to wait and see the game for yourself! Speaking of, I have some new screenshots to share! I revamped the world's town so everything fits the theme better, and I hope you all have fun with my game! That's all for now, see you next month!

Starting with the good news, since last Devblog I've added around five more characters, areas are finished, and art is almost finished. All thats left at the moment for the demo is to work on the soundtrack, dialogue, UI, and then polish. Speaking of UI here's one of the most noticeable changes!

ROLLERS! Still a work in progress but I think it adds way more personality to the UI and love seeing the numbers roll!

For the bad news. While development for the demo and act 1 is going smooth, its slowing down. Recently got a new job too meaning less time to work on the game, so while development has slowed down progress is still being made! Who's to say when it'll come out but I'd project sometime around the summer of 2026, if not by then I may just release the entire act as a whole and ditch the idea of a demo by making the first act free to play similar to games like Ena Dream BBQ!
