This week in Project Ariadne: enemy Behavior Trees (patrol → detect → chase → search) and improved Eirene's hitboxes and i-frames (a few milliseconds of invincibility here and there). Blink and you'll miss it.

"...wait, what's an Asa?"

Glad you asked! 👇

Pre-alpha greybox, but the soul is already there.

First look at Eirene's combo system: light, heavy, and Asa combos straight out of ancient Egypt.

What's your favorite staff/polearm combo system in games?

A few days ago, someone asked: "What's the most iconic weapon in gaming?"

Allow us to present: a stick.

Meet the Asa, the weapon of choice for our protagonist, Eirene Tarnis. An ancient Egyptian combat staff redesigned for an arcanepunk world. 🧵👇

The Asa is just one piece of Project Ariadne, a narrative action RPG set in an arcanepunk 1930s Egypt.

Archaeology. Occultism. A really good stick.

Oh, and when folded? It clips to her belt and works as a light source. Reddish glow, perfect for dark ruins.

If you ever burned through your flares in Tomb Raider II, you get it :)

Magic in our world isn't free. Prolonged use rots you from the inside. Literally.

So Eirene enchants her Asa instead. Load a spell, land a hit, deliver it on contact. Less flesh decay, more violet glyphs. Handy!

In Project Ariadne, our archaeologist-occultists wield a modern arcane version of the Asa. It's telescopic, enchantable, and built for Tahtib-inspired combat. One twist, one "woosh-CLACK!", and you're ready.

The Asa (also called Naboot) comes from Tahtib, an ancient Egyptian martial art depicted in tombs dating back to 2000 BC.

Not built for us.

Here is a look at a dungeon greybox from our #indiegame, Project Ariadne.

An oversized canopic jar stands at the center. If this vessel wasn't designed for a man, who (or what) was it meant for?
