Hi and Happy Holidays! I’m Courtney, the solo developer of the upcoming ARPG Reality Break, inspired by my love for Diablo as well as all things science fiction. I started my game dev career in 2002, working on real-time strategy games like Age of Mythology, Age of Empires, Halo Wars, and Orcs Must Die. I felt a calling to go indie in 2014 and have launched a couple of games, but a few years ago decided it was time to put everything I could muster into making my dream game a reality – Reality Break, to be precise!

The idea for Reality Break came when I was facing yet another set of patch notes where my favorite D2 class, Sorceress, was nerfed. I wanted to make changes to the game that shaped it to my tastes, which is how the idea for Reality Break’s tagline came about: “Rewrite the Universe”. To fulfill that tagline, I created a Rewrite mechanic for my new game, and have made countless elements rewritable. For example, if you find a warship class weapon that won’t fit your ship, rewrite it to make it fit! If you’re finding missions too difficult or easy, rewrite them to increase the challenge (and rewards), or convert a negative crit chance modifier into a positive one. Rewrite your skills to reduce their cooldowns… or eliminate the cooldowns entirely. Rewrite a treasure crate into a Super Crate! Even the story itself can be rewritten to pursue alternate timelines.

I will be launching the game in early 2025 (so soon!), and have updated the demo many times based on player feedback (treating it as its own mini Early Access), including v0.17 just last month. I crave player feedback, so please let me know what you think if you check it out :).

TLDR: Hi I’m Courtney. My class got nerfed in Diablo so I developed my own sci-fi ARPG with a new Rewrite mechanic. Check out the demo and send me feedback!
