[h2]Hello, I'm the director of [b]《Shell Bless the Faithless》[/b][/h2] I'm thrilled to finally greet you through this first developer log. After quietly focusing on development for quite some time, it’s exciting to finally introduce our game to the world and start communicating directly with players. [h3]A Journey to Save the Nine Realms[/h3] [b]《Shell Bless the Faithless》[/b] is a roguelike shooter set in a world where the traditional mythology of Norse gods is bizarrely intertwined with traces and technologies of modern civilization. You play as a warrior blessed by the gods, wielding a shotgun and setting out on a journey to save the Nine Realms. This strange realm—where myth and reality collide—will continue to expand through a cast of diverse gods and unique NPCs, each adding depth to the world. [h3]What Kind of Game We're Making[/h3] The game’s core systems and gameplay foundation are already complete, and we’re currently focused on developing the following content: [list][*] A wide variety of Oparts (mysterious items) [*] Multi-layered map gimmicks [*] Tense and thrilling boss battles [*] Randomized events and situational encounters[/list] What we aim to create is a game that ① can be enjoyed casually with friends like a toybox of chaos, ② offers depth and challenge through strategic mastery, and ③ delivers the fundamental thrill that defines the roguelike shooter genre. [h3]First Offline Demo Showcase[/h3] We’ll be showcasing our first offline demo at the upcoming [i][b]Illustar Play[/b][/i] indie game showcase, where players can try the game in person. Your feedback from the event will be a great help in shaping our development going forward. [h3]Future Devlogs & Community Engagement[/h3] Starting with this post, we’ll be sharing regular devlogs covering [i][b]development updates, behind-the-scenes stories, system design choices, and worldbuilding insights[/b][/i]. We’re also preparing playtest events, community Q&As, and demo showcases to better hear your voices and include players in the process. We believe building this game should be a shared journey.

[b]《Shell Bless the Faithless》[/b] is only just stepping onto the starting line. With you alongside us, we believe this journey can grow into something stranger, stronger—and far more fun.
