Developer here! Damn, Jeff! That is one hell of a commentary & so much great feedback for the Early Access of Black Dragon Mage. Really appreciate the effort you put in this video and it is a goldmine for a solo dev such a myself. Thanks for seeing the potential and noticing the details that I've put lots of love into. Clever move with the pentagram for mining btw, I hoped someone would do it! I am working hard to improve the game and you've given me lots of ideas. Pushing a hotfix soon and tweaks and content patches will come regularly thereafter, just catching my breath after the EA release with very little sleep, heh. ~ Datablob / Tom
A seven by seven grid of unlockables, unlockable levels, attribute upgrades in the hub. Some of the grid items may be new items in the hub. It looks like there is a lot of content, it's just the terms used, and the UI that is throwing you off. More descriptions for better understanding would do wonders, like how Charges are Ammo. I mean, I understood it, but I play D&D where wands have charges. This is one where you may need to really grind, and complete challenges, to get the meta progression to be able to take on the mid bosses.
That's basically how I felt. Feels like it COULD be really good. But from the first hour, unless there is hidden content, it feels very content light for the genre. For the price though, you could do worse

I've been freaking out about how many awesome bull heaven games are coming. It's glorious

I played the demo, and there really hasn't been much added. Definitely had hopes for a better launch.
