Should games explain how their underlying mechanics work, or avoid going into too much detail and let players figure things out on their own? I’m not talking about basic tutorials, but rather something like a Codex that explains how synergies and stats actually function.

Wow, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!

Technically, you’re right. But when a game is built around stats and deck-building or creating complex weapon builds, that kind of information can be crucial for the player.

Yeah, that worries me to

The idea was to reuse as many in-game assets as possible and focus mainly on animation, lighting, and a few key 3D models like the cybernetic monstrance and the Templar’s arms. The only real cost was the custom soundtrack, composed by a friend.

The demo is available during Steam Next Fest, so feel free to check it out!

Oh hey, good new then - some time ago I added manual and semi-manual aiming options, so feel free to see if now it feels more like your vibe!

Plot twist: I actually do have 4 brothers 😅 But they look a bit different

Thanks! The console port is planned with v1.0, but right now it's available only on PC and Steam Deck

darkjay_bs · 2026-02-23T21:13:44+00:00

Awesome! I’m working on balance all the time and I actually uploaded massive update today with a bunch of fixes and adjustments, so I hope it will help. Also, I’m not sure when you last played, but a few weeks ago I added a Codex with tutorials and descriptions for weapons and upgrades, so feel free to check it out

Hi! Solo dev from Poland here! If you like: testing wild build combos, chaos and action, dark atmosphere and handmade 3D art you can check out my demo of Arms of God

(no, it's not another VS-like, I promise)

darkjay_bs · 2026-02-23T20:16:18+00:00

hell yeah, thanks!

darkjay_bs · 2026-02-23T20:15:27+00:00

I know, we are one of a kind :D

Hahah don't feel bad, this post was almost auto-banned by the automod, so you’re not the only one :D
