  • Emberlight Launches!

    Emberlight Launches!

    From a simple concept in 2017, to humble development beginnings in October of 2018, Quarter Onion Games is excited to announce that we have made it to the finish line with Emberlight!  You can experience Emberlight through Steam (PC/Mac/Linux), Discord (PC), and Itch.io (PC).

    Emberlight features the esteemed voice actress, Lani Minella, as the Grandmaster, as well as voice casting talent from No Studio In Particular produced by Reece Bridger.



     

    What is Emberlight?

    Emberlight is a true roguelike dungeon crawler, set in a world where the Gods have given you a great gift – and a great curse.

    Explore procedurally generated dungeons as a Knight of the Ember Order. Conquer the quests set out before your party, and uncover the lore of the land. Grow your strength by absorbing the abilities of your slain enemies and collecting the powerful traits of dungeon bosses.

    Become strong, become quick, become immortal – but be warned – as you fight using unstable Ember powers, they will begin to corrupt and twist your very soul. Every gift of power has its sacrifice; every ability has its cost.

    As the Gods fight for control of their creations, you must decide what is good, and what is evil. To protect your people against the dangers of Ember power, you must use its power to your advantage. Will you conquer the dark, or will you lose yourself to corruption?

  • Updated Patch Notes for August 9 (Ready for Launch)

    Updated Patch Notes for August 9 (Ready for Launch)

    Emberlight is now ready to release on both Steam and Discord on August 13th.  We made the following tweaks to the game in the latest patch build .818.

    • Tweaked quest selection tutorial due to recent feedback to be more explicit in how the window works.
    • Tweaked the entrance room tutorial that pops up to have a quick tip on navigation as folks have gotten stuck on this in multiple streams/videos. The tutorial for navigation still gets added as well.
    • Locked quests on the quest window now are grayed out but still allow tooltips (to show corruption level to unlock) and cycling through them.
    • Added Steamworks fully to launch build. Will eventually support achievements and cloud saves. For now, it will grab the display name to show in top left (previously either randomized a name or grabbed the Discord display name).
    • Debug mode has been disabled for launch build.
    • Adjustments to game UI to ensure that no input can happen during either an enemy’s turn, or with a party member that is charmed, confused, or stunned. Still working to fix the character getting stuck that occasionally happens.
    • Adjusted damage shield tooltip text to say that it reflects damage back onto attacker.
    • Adjusted reflect tooltip text to say it reflects all abilities back onto attacker.
