Hey guys! Stapleton here.

Sit-Back Attack's demo is closing up in 2 days!

Now is the time to try our new game in development!

It might be coming back online around the 14th for a preview into the Steam Next Fest, but we are unsure! So if you want to check it out, do so now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3092260/SitBack_Attack/ It is an Idle RPG with features that include:

• 50+ playable characters!
• 500+ unique skills for hundreds of thousands of build combinations
• Intuitive easy to use UI system unlike any seen from (Stapleton) so far!
• Good addictive flow to the game (user feedback)
• 300+ monsters including super bosses (not found in demo)
• 4 pets that all have their unique skills and they scale in strength with achievements (also not in demo)
• ZERO MTX! Full game will likely be at $9.99 price point. ONE TIME BUY.
• Get everything you love from Idle RPG's without feeling ripped off!
• Vast endgame content (clearly not available in demo lol)
• And More!

To anyone reading this, thank you for supporting my previous games! And also thank you for reading this!

I've laid down improvement plans for other games I've released. Especially improving UI. To get a taste of what we mean, try out this demo and let me know if we're on the right track!

Thanks! - Stapleton

Hello everyone whom this may concern. It is Stapleton back for another talk the talk and not walk the walk. Well let me tell you. That day is changing. Recently, DPSII (a newly formed publisher) and I have merged our intelligence to form a sort of... Super group. Besides it isn't super. We're just normal people trying to make interesting video games shine. The fact of the matter is this... Card Battles will be remade. This is going to be vastly improved in this fateful year of 2025. These improvements will include: - Complete renovation of the UI system - A new battle system that will have a random deck of 30 card to choose from - New challenges - New Cards - New and Improved visuals. Call it Card Battles 2.0 These improvements must wait however. As a full time project has kidnapped all our time. It is called

Sit-Back Attack

and it is coming along nicely. A demo was just released for the Idler Fest. Check it out! From all that I have learned in the past few years, I cannot leave these games high and dry. I make it a goal to at least give the UI systems a good polishing. Thanks for reading! - Stapleton

ANYWAY, the sale is the boring part. Lets get to the meat of this announcement!

A game is being developed by me (Stapleton).

It is an RPG Idle game. Great progress is being made. It is called..... Well can't announce that JUST yet. But it's fancy, TRUST ME! I will be revealing it with much greater details and pictures before July 8th! So Look Out! Current features are as follows:

Future plans include: - Getting Idle game finished - A Complete remake of Card Battles - QOL changes and menu changes for Heavenly Acres. Why the latter two? Well because I have learned a CRAP ton and can work a lot more efficiently and I think it will benefit you (the players) if I implement it! That's it for the update! Hope you all have a wonderful day/week/month/year - Stapleton

There was a version of nwjs that was corrupt so I had to integrate a new version. It was previously causing game windows to cause a slight memory leak and thus causing the engine to forgo loading further ones until it cleared the memory. That unfortunately caused some windows in the game to not upload visually. I have run many tests with this new build and they seem successful and I think this invisible bug has been crushed. -Thanks!

I will also be releasing future De'Vine titles at a drastically lower price as well. De'Vine: World of Shadows can be bought at the insane low price of $1.99! De'Vine: Card Battles can be bought at the insane low price of $0.99! For less than a dollar!! -Thanks

Added in more tutorials. Added to the battle information. Made the UI a little more clear with more visuals such as the Turn number. And preparing for the release of the Tournament. -Thanks!
