Inkarn8 Dev Update Action Phase & Visuals

Hey !

Lots of good progress from our small team this week.
We're steadily replacing more of the programmer art with final artwork from our artist, while our gameplay programmer has been expanding and polishing content for the demo.

On my side, I've been spending a lot of time on the technical art: working on shaders, lighting and visual effects to really bring the world of the Codex to life. It's one of those areas where lots of small improvements start to add up.

A few community members also mentioned they'd love to see more gameplay, so we've been capturing plenty of new footage alongside these visual updates. That means you can expect a lot more short-form clips, longer gameplay showcases, and behind-the-scenes content over the coming weeks as we build towards our next marketing campaign.

Earlier this week, I shared a clip on our socials showing the Preparation Phase, where you choose your actions by stamping wax seals into the pages of the Codex.
I've attached another clip below showing the Action Phase, which is one of the core parts of combat. 👇

🖋️ During the Action Phase:
- You draw defensive actions onto yourself.
- You draw offensive actions onto your enemies.
- Once you're happy with your plan, you put the quill away to end your turn.
- Enemy actions then resolve based on the indicators displayed above their heads before combat moves into the Resolution Phase.

One thing we're aiming for with Inkarn8 is making the game feel like you're genuinely interacting with a living spellbook, so seeing these systems come together with the improved visuals has been really exciting.

As always, we'd love to hear what you think or answer any questions you have. Your feedback genuinely helps shape the game.
Thanks for following along with us! 📖
