The Old Below Devlog

4:40

This episode steps back from the systems to talk about the story. The Old Below is not a world we are making up as we go, years of it are already written, and this is a first real look into that: how the world was torn in two, who got left behind in the dark, and the shape of what waits down there. It is the reason behind every descent, and there is far more of it on the page than a game this early usually has.

Our first look at The Old Below actually running, and it already goes from the surface all the way down. This build has all the big pieces talking to each other: the opening story, a shop where you spend your hard-won gold, first-person exploration through the dark, and the part we're most excited about, turn-based grid combat. Delvers like Brann and Wisp swing at Warren Goblins and Skulks with abilities like Venom Dart and Shield Bash. It's all still placeholder art, but the bones of the whole game are already here.
