Slayer: rebuilding for the long term

After an earlier version with more than 100 abilities, we rebuilt Slayer around a maintainable codebase, deeper progression and refurbished environments.

The first version

Our earlier version of Slayer included more than 100 programmed abilities. It gave us a substantial combat foundation, but we wanted a codebase that could support the game for years of development and updates.

The March rebuild

In March 2026, we rescripted Slayer from scratch. The rebuild focused on maintainability and scalability, making the code easier to extend as the game grows.

We also redesigned the progression systems into a more comprehensive, connected experience. Alongside that work, the environmental assets were refurbished with a more modern visual direction.
