Vessel Tactics Official Logo (For now?)

Vessel Tactics Official Logo (For now?)

    With the Steam page coming up soon, I thought it was time to give VT a real logo! I wanted to try doing something in the style of a certain fantasy series with a gradient character behind a logo. It's possible I'll make a d...

General Update: 12/16/24

    Hello again! The past week of dev went great, with a lot of really terrible spaghetti code getting cleaned up. This is quickly becoming the build where I finally finish fixing up all my old work, and honestly I'm all for it...

General Update: 12/09/24

    Work continues on the next update! I'd like for modding to be more or less finished this update in a way that and mods created for it can be reliably carried forward, so I've been working on a few different fronts to achiev...

Dev Journal: Second Year of Development in Review

    I can't believe it's already been another year... It feels like just yesterday I was writing last year's review. This year we added six new characters, Cheshire, the four goblins, and Atlas-Agena, and one new skin for Coven...

Vessel Tactics v0.12a

Vessel Tactics v0.12a

Sorry this took a bit, the game should be a lot more playable now!
NOTE: I fixed all the bugs with modded units I could, but the chimera and other units with nonstandard stomachs are still not set up to be used in battle.

EDIT v0.12a.1: View Post

Character Spotlight: Atlas-Agena

Character Spotlight: Atlas-Agena

    A vessel designed for long-duration spaceflight by the shadowy organization Xenognosis. The nature of her missions meant that her life was spent almost entirely alone, right up until she first met the Commander. She has sin...

Commander Poll

    I've been doing some thinking about how I want to represent the Commander in-game, and I'm a bit conflicted so I wanted to get some opinions here. One the one hand, I'd like for the Commander to be as open as possible for i...

Did you find the secret character?

    So, there ended up being three big surprises this update! Since I had to keep them a secret up until now, I want to go over them a bit here now that they've been released. Also, it...

Vessel Tactics v0.12 (Spooky Edition)

Alright, finally done! (Pretend this build came out yesterday)

NOTE: Modding has been re-enabled, but at the expense of loading saved games as I try to better integrate that and set up mid-battle saves. Mods made for previous versions of the...

General Update: 10/28/24

General Update: 10/21/24

    Hey again everyone! I was able to make decent progress last week, and I think we're still looking at an end of October/early November release date. The new stomach system is getting very close to completion and has been ful...

General Update: 10/14/24

    Hey everyone, just a small update on the game's progress this week. So far, it's been going well and I've been getting a few fun things in for the next build on top of the stomach system/Vore Chimera that I think you'll enj...

Character Spotlight: Goblins

Character Spotlight: Goblins

    One of the most numerous monsters in the world you find yourself in. While the weakest physically, they more than make up for it in numbers and a general disregard for their own safety. Early in your journey, you'll encount...

Dev Journal: Mod Loading Finished!

    As soon as I started to add modding to the game, I ran into a problem. VT uses a lot of mid-sized textures to render its characters, and in order to ensure no visual glitches (Missing faces, etc.) these textures ideally all...

Dev Journal: Balancing Rarities

    One of the difficulties of adapting the gacha framework for a non-monetized game is what to do with rarities. In VT I'd like for each unit to be useful in their own way, but that runs completely counter to your typical rari...

Thank you for your patience! Assuming nothing explodes again, this is the final build of v0.11, and after this I'll be going ahead with my rework of old systems to get modding and a few other things working a...

General Update: 09/16/24

    Not too much to report this week, development continues apace moving towards the next update. The first beta test containing bugfixes for v.011a was just released on the discord, and while the feedback I've gotten so far ha...

Feature Preview: Modding Example Unit

Update Tomorrow!

So sorry about the extra wait! Honestly, I've been having some issues getting the last of the writing done, but it's nearly finished now and won't take too much longer. After that's done, I'm going to take one more day to try to polish things a bi...

General Update: 07/29/24

    As expected, I won't be hitting the end of July for this update, though setting my goal there was mostly wishful thinking to begin with. Work continues on the goblins as before, and I've also been fixing a lot of the miscel...
