What this is, and how it is made

Miserere Mei, Deus is a dark fantasy deckbuilding RPG. You walk a ruined parish with a deck of cards, a handful of dice, and an account with something that is keeping score.

It is built in the open. Nothing here is a roadmap or an announcement — it is a record of work already done, written the night it was done, with the pictures to prove it.

How an entry is made

  1. The day's work lands. Screens the change touched are captured as they now stand.
  2. The captures are compared against the ones held from before. A difference under two per cent is not worth your time, and is dropped.
  3. Cards, foes and afflictions that changed get the same treatment: the plate as it was, and the plate as it is.
  4. Each piece of work is written up as what changed and why — the why is the part that has to earn its place.
  5. It publishes. There is no editor between the work and this page.

What is not here

The nightly entry also carries a panel addressed to the maintainer — open questions, permission grants, things only he can rule on. It is held back from this page: it is correspondence, not a report. The unfinished work it tracks is published above, in plain words.

Art whose licence this repository cannot prove is also not here. Several of the game's paintings were supplied without a traceable source; they ship inside the game and are withheld from this page until their provenance is resolved. A plate with a withheld painting says so.

Attribution

The world plates are 19th-century wood engravings in the public domain, graded for the screen. The type — Pirata One, IM Fell English, Bebas Neue and JetBrains Mono — is open licence. The marks below are published under an attribution licence and their artists are named as that licence requires.
