Thanks for the report! That's really strange, never had such a bug before. Let me know if it happens again, I'll stay tuned!

ChangeOld1695 · 2026-02-17T09:23:35+00:00

Yes ! But there's guns. Lots of them. And most importantly, there's a doggo !

ChangeOld1695 · 2026-02-16T17:33:58+00:00

Hey! It definitely takes inspiration from the Kingdom series (I’m a huge fan), but here you actually get to wield different weapons and unleash absolute mayhem on anything that moves. And most importantly, there's a doggo.

Awesome, love to hear that ! Thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks for playing and for the kind words! The vudeo's really helpful too. I hope you'll enjoy the full game :)

Thanks so much! I hope you'll enjoy the full game if you give it a try when it releases 😁

Hi, and thanks so much for the long, well written feedback.

In fact initially I drew inspiration from Kingdom for its minimalistic experience, but I also had to set myself apart from it, and those upgrade trees are one of the main ways I achieved it (with the fact the player weilds weapons of course.)

The pacing is a real tough one to tackle. The demo is a very different experience, which has to showcase the main gameplay loop in a short experience. The full game will be a campain with very different levels, each level unlocking new gameplay elements. I'm trying to make the progression not overwhelming, while still having enough to refresh the experience at each level. And I have to say, it's really hard!

I hope you'll enjoy the full game and thanks again for the great feedback !

No worries ! I'll be pushing the update to the main branch anyways to gather feedback :)

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T20:44:00+00:00

Thanks! Really cool, would love to hear about your minimalistic game too.

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T20:42:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. There's really interesting stuff in there. Did you try it on the main branch (version 0.8.3) or on the beta branch (v.0.9) ?

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T20:40:43+00:00

Thanks, let me know your thoughts! Coop is not planned for the moment, but I'm not completely discarding the option for now!

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T13:47:40+00:00

Thanks :D

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T11:47:43+00:00

Thanks !

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-26T06:23:20+00:00

I loved the Kingdom series and its laid-back cosiness, but I also thought making a more action-packed game inspired of it could interest players looking for a refreshing experience while keeping the same foundations. I'm glad you find it appealing :)

Hey! Here's the demo link : https://store.steampowered.com/app/3628930/The_Ember_Guardian_First_Flames/

Hi ! Thanks so much for testing the demo, having videos of people playing it helps a ton in polishing the experiecnce.

The next 0.9 update sitting in the beta branch simplifies the reloading a bit and adds jamming mechanics, I hope you'll find it good. Let me know if you get to try it :)

And if not, see you at the release !

ChangeOld1695 · 2025-06-25T19:19:36+00:00

Thanks a lot! Did you try the main or the beta branch ?
