1. Roguelike Mode Progress Update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve finished making around 100 cards for the roguelike mode. The pool now includes Blood cards and Dice-summoning cards. Since the mode uses post-battle random card packs, it leans into the game\u2019s original \u201cbuild-your-own-deck freely\u201d style.
The main event pool for the roguelike mode is mostly done, with about 40 events. I\u2019ve also added a few lightweight meta-unlock event packs. (The mode works by randomly pulling combat and non-combat events from the main framework, so unlocking more event packs increases the overall pool.)
Relics are done, along with the special post-boss reward cards\u2014basically boss relics.
Most of the art is finished, but I haven\u2019t started working on enemy designs or their card logic yet. Especially for the story references to the official works\u2014elites and bosses are all based on canon characters, so they\u2019ll need some careful design.
Event illustrations are still unfinished. There are just too many, and I can\u2019t keep up with drawing them all right now\u2014I\u2019ve been busy with some other cool stuff lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What I\u2019ve Been Busy With Recently: DeepSeek V4 & Future \u201cSumireko Urban Legends\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what have I been doing? Basically, since DeepSeek V4 is pretty cheap, I\u2019ve been learning how to use AI these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For next year\u2019s free game, Sumireko\u2019s Urban Legends, I\u2019m planning to use AI for part of the content. Don\u2019t worry\u2014it\u2019ll be free. A few days before release, I\u2019ll share some API keys so everyone can try it out. I\u2019ll also try to design a system that doesn\u2019t require too many tokens but still delivers decent results as part of the gameplay experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yeah, I\u2019m going to take my time with the roguelike mode. I don\u2019t want it to just be a quick expansion and call it done\u2014I\u2019d rather put in the effort and make it something solid. Maybe I can get it out as a free update by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, I\u2019ve also got a new project with a friend starting up\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, sorry for not delivering as promised. For future projects, I\u2019ll make sure they\u2019re bigger in scope and come with better bundle discounts. Thanks for being patient with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
