Auto-save would be very helpful... living in a country where rolling blackouts may happen without warning, it would certainly reduce the risk of losing a lot of progress due to the powers that be...

... Congratulations with all the progress you have made on this work...

... Would it be permitted if this game gets mentioned in Apocalyptic Shadow by a currently-unimplemented NPC...?

Thank you! :3

And sure, of course! In fact, it already kinda references LSP in a few places anyway...

Implemented that auto-save thing! :3

Awesome! I guess it's just the endings you need to do now, right?

For a few weeks I didn't do much unfortunately, but now the endings are coming along nicely. Misery of Magic wasn't designed for cutscenes at all, so I had to fudge together some new code to make the endings work the way I wanted.


Fixed a graphical bug in the load game menu.


Game no longer crashes when loading a game into the final boss room. This happened because doing that somehow skips the part where one phase of the final boss sets up the surface it needs for its cool effects.


Can now select weapons in the tier menu under the cats menu to see a brief description of each one. Not important, but nice to have.


If you have 3 characters, they'll now all appear correctly in the cats menu.

There is a CATS menu...?!

(Intensely looks forward to this game.)

When exactly did you begin with Misery of Magic... if I may ask...?

It's a characters menu, basically. It lets you check weapon tiers as well.

I started way back in October of 2016 I think. Kept getting bored and/or distracted, got really busy with more important things, took heaps of many-month-long hiatuses, and pretty much lost interest in making games altogether for a long time.

The five main good endings are pretty much done! There are now 7 implemented in total (because a couple of the short endings were already made a while ago). I'm now going to add several more short endings, which won't take much effort each. I had a document with heaps of ideas for endings, but I'm not sure how many will make it into the final game, because some of the ideas are quite weak and I don't want it to take too long. In any case, there are going to be A LOT of endings, definitely even more than SS2 has.

All these multiple endings do sound quite interesting. And considering that Solar Shadow 2 had 11 endings, that means that this game may have them in a single mode or across multiple modes like in SS2/
