Even Godot gets a Roman helmet. ⚔️ The full opening sequence and title theme for Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris, our Roman-inspired strategy RPG. Sound on! I let the music play out for this one <3 #Godot #IndieGame

Your army. Multiple ways to command them. Give individual or group orders, queue movement, and create control groups. Good commanders shape the battle before it begins. Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris Any other means of command you'd like to see?

Four against three, but is the extra Footman enough against the AoE? Two Footmen, an Archer, and a Witch vs. a Footman, an Archer, and a Windspeaker. Pick your winner before the first attack! Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

That forest looked empty a moment ago. In Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris, forests can conceal enemy parties. Scout before you commit, or find out what’s waiting the hard way.

Getting that Barbarus below half health is the easy part. Surviving his +25% damage boost? That’s another story. Another Endless Battle in Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris Who’s your priority target here?

Their frontline is only in front if you let it be. Approach from behind and the enemy’s formation reverses, bringing their back row into reach of your blades. Same enemy. Different approach. Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

Can this frontline outlast the hunters? Two Legionaries and a Signifier stand against a Crocotta, Wild Tamer, Spectre, and Archer; with two Clerics supporting their formation. An Endless Battle, beyond the usual 2–3 rounds. Who’s your pick? Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

That poison damage adds up! This is an Endless Battle, rather than the usual 2–3 rounds. Poisoned units lose 5% of their max HP after acting allowing those extra rounds give the venom time to work. How would you counter this party? Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

Your archer’s next class keeps the skill you choose. At class level 10, your archer chooses: Suppressing Fire: -10% enemy Strength & Vitality on hit. Sagitta Prima: 3× crit chance on the first attack each battle. Which would you carry into your next class?

Take the fight where you are, or draw the enemy into the trees? "Forester’s Brooch grants +10% damage and 10% damage reduction in forests." Who gets the brooch in your party? Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

Bringing a Hydra? Think about who leads it. A Wildtamer’s Beast Master skill grants +10% damage to themselves and your party’s beasts when leading. Same units. Different leader. A stronger beast party. Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris

What makes the Hydra worth two party spaces? As long as you keep it healthy, it earns its keep. Its built-in ability, Hydra’s Fury, changes its damage based on health: +20% dmg at 90% HP or higher, −10% at 70–89%, and −40% below 70%. At level 10, choosing Bog Blood restores 10% of its maximum HP before each of its actions. Add a Cleric, and healing helps preserve its damage as well as its life.

Five soldiers, or three soldiers and a Hydra? Large units take up two spaces in Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris. Bringing one means changing the rest of your party. Which formation would you take into battle?

WIP Alagher (main character) attack tests. We’re exploring two distinct styles for him: Heavy Overhead: planted, committed, high impact. Lithe Lunge: fast, precise, leaving enemies off balance. You’ll choose one to specialize in, with bonuses that reinforce that path. This is what we mean by “player-crafted”; your choices shape how a character fights, changing the strategy, not just how big the numbers are. #IndieGame #TacticsRPG #PixelArt #GameDev #OgreBattle

If you're a fan of Ogre Battle, keep an eye on Sacred Light: Pyre of Hubris. Act 1 of the demo will be releasing later this year, featuring the first 7 missions of the game. If you've been looking for a new tactical RPG with that classic Ogre Battle feel, this one's for you. #OgreBattle #TacticalRPG #IndieGame

We're down to the wire on our Tier 1 units. The Remnant Construct is the final unit remaining before the entire first tier is complete. Inspired by the haunting beauty of a whale fall, this ancient water construct specializes in healing and sustaining its allies, proving that even in death, life can endure. Super exciting to get this far! Here's the concept art for it :)

Introducing the Baku! A dream-devouring Beast with powerful sleep and nightmare-based attacks. It specializes in putting entire columns of enemies to sleep with its mystical trunk, while its focused nightmare blast deals devastating single-target damage to the back row. "A gluttonous chimera of the East that feasts on nightmares. Those who gaze upon it soon find themselves lost in an endless, unbreakable slumber." We're excited to see how you deploy this sleepy terror! #IndieGame #TacticsRPG #PixelArt #GameDev #OgreBattleInspired #Beast
