“Hands of Necromancy 2” is the follow-up to the original “Hands of Necromancy” game. It’s a dark fantasy first-person shooter that shares similarities with games such as “Heretic” and “Doom”. As a player, you’ll come across a variety of weapons and unique transformation abilities to fight the monsters you meet.

Trailer:

Here are some of the new features we’ve included:

- Interactive elements like flammable and destructible trees, hidden items in vases, explosive barrels of black powder, and breakable stained glass.
- Traps such as spikes that emerge from the ground, and boulders that roll towards you.
- A new character equipped with her own weapons and transformations, adding 7 new weapons and 4 new transformations with their own attacks.
- New items to assist the player, including a bag that doubles your maximum ammo, new potions like the stamina potion, and the Amulet of Death that kills all surrounding monsters.
- 10 new monsters, including 3 different bosses.
- Over 20 planned maps.
- Reworked Necromancy system: Revived enemies no longer cause friendly fire, and if you move too far away from them, they will teleport to your location. - You can also pass through them.
- Various changes and fixes.
- Linear map progression replacing the hub system, but the maps will still have a maze-like structure similar to classic FPS games.
- We’re aiming to launch the game towards the end of 2024 or early 2025.

I watched the trailer, do you have any plans to make higher-res sprites for the monsters? In the few glimpses of actual combat, there seems to be some new additions to the monster roster that aren't too far from monster sprites in The Elder Scrolls: Arens, if you know what I mean:


It's not a bad thing on its own, but an update on the visuals (monsters, pickups and HUD weapons) certainly would not hurt IMO.
