Version 0.870 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch increases FPS by 15 to 30%, drops nemesis/arch-nemesis base max rejuvenations and base max retreats to 0, fixes a sound panning issue on some computers, and fixes a few other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

About 4 years. I always tell other indies to make much smaller games. :)

I've finally upgraded to a newer compiler for Din's Champion (Visual Studio 2026). The great part is that the game is 15 to 30% faster on all my test computers, but I might have to drop support for Windows 7&8. #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.869 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch allows quests to support their parent quest with an extra status effect (basically working like optional quest lines), adds 21 support bonuses, and fixes several minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

Now supporting quests can boost enemies like your arch-nemesis with 17 different status effects in the next build of Din's Champion. #indiegame #indiedev

The next build of Din's Champion is going add a new system that is similar to quest lines. You will still be able to beeline towards your Arch-Nemesis if you want, but when it's getting a 500% health boost from supporting quests, you might want to take them out first! #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.868 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch fixes a possible crash, adds more tree colors, and fixes several minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

No new Din's Champion build this week, but on the good side, most of Soldak's games are on sale for the next week or so on Steam and GOG. #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.867 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch adds over 400 new unique & set items and fixes several minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

I've now added 285 new unique & set items for the next Din's Champion build. #indiegame #indiedev

Sometimes I name items just to amuse myself. Today's example is new unique boots going into the next Din's Champion build called Coldfeet. :) #indiegame #indiedev

I finally finished off the set items for the next Din's Champion build. Now I'm working on unique items, which should go a lot quicker. #indiegame #indiedev

Assuming I counted correctly, there are 110 new items going into the next build of Din's Champion and I still have more to go. #indiegame #indiedev

I'm still in the middle of adding new unique items, so no new Din's Champion build this week. The good news is that I've added 48 new set items so far with many more items already planned. #indiegame #indiedev

I'm working on adding new set and unique items to Din's Champion this week. I've probably mentioned this many times before, but naming things is hard, especially when you are naming lots of things. :) #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.866 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch improves skill attack speeds, improves collision/bouncing, adds new item icons (more uniques soon), improves attack effects, and fixes several other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

I'm not sure what just exploded in this Din's Champion screenshot, but it looks cool. :) #screenshot #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.865 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch increases quest xp, adds several UI improvements, makes higher difficulties harder, adds vines to jungles, adds salvage multiplayer sharing, and fixes several other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

As usual game dev is strange. I started today by adding vines to jungles and ended the day making recipe lists sort better. #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.864 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch adds natural affinity to items, improves minions, allows you to place blocks & torches directly from inventory, and fixes several other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

In the next build of Din's Champion, you will finally be able to place blocks and torches directly from your inventory. :) #indiegame #indiedev

I did a little summons pass today for the next Din's Champion patch. In general, minions will be more responsive, move faster, and have faster attacks. #indiegame #indiedev

In the next build of Din's Champion, items can have a random natural affinity. If you socket a gem or rune that matches that affinity, it gets a significant level boost and doesn't use up any unrealized potential. #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.862 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch adds quick salvage from anywhere, adds drawn map area boundaries, improves trade skills, adds ego sparks, and fixes several other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

I just made it so if you highlight an area blip on the world map in Din's Champion, it will draw an outline around that area on the map so you know exactly where it's boundaries are. #indiegame #indiedev

In the next build of Din's Champion every trade skill level will provide a benefit even if the skill level is below the task level. #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.861 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch adds new throwable items (bombs, flaming oil, & ice bombs), adds sanity potions for NPCs, allows you to throw torches, and fixes a few other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

Throwable flaming oil, ice bombs, and hopefully timed bombs will be in the next Din's Champion build. #indiegame #indiedev
