Down in the mines. Still working at this Dwarf Fortress "The Long Night" mod episode. It should really be something when it's all done. Go check out @squamousmodsman.bsky.social and try the mod out yourself. Incredible, underrated stuff. #dwarffortress #longnight #mod #scifi #animation #art

plato's cave: the video game

A WIP health menu showing the condition of every damageable body part, including severed limbs, destroyed organs, sickness, afflictions, mental states, and more. It’ll be paired with a wide range of medical items, and help me balance the damage system #roguelike #darkfantasy #indiedev #gamedev #DFE

Lurking beneath a veil of mist and the breath of the cold night... (Now I need mist...🥲 It'll come together with smoke and other particles for sure) #specter #roguelike #darkfantasy #crpg #gamedev #indiegame #DFE

Say hello to the new guy in town. The Sentinel is a force to be reckoned with, and he even comes with tiny little minions of his own. I’m adding more enemies for variety, but there’s still a mountain of more important stuff to be done. It never ends.... #darkfantasy #roguelike #indiedev #devlog

Ok, just a sneak peek of WIP for what we’ll be able to do to avoid enemies. Ugly green squares for now. Each time the player blinks green, stamina is being used. Sprint + jump, very Dwarf Fortress inspired. Shout out to the OG. #gamedev #indiedev #WIP #darkfantasy #roguelike #DFE

Been deep into combat systems lately. Throwing, grabbing enemies, kicking, impacts, stamina, and now rolling, jumping, running and strolling logic. Lots of small pieces that will make more sense once shown together. After this, a few new enemies and back to world work. #roguelike #DFE #darkfantasy

Players wanted a map, so I tried to make this in-world solution that wouldn't feel like a UI screen. #gamedev #gameart #indiegames

As Jack the Ripper used to say... "Let’s go piece by piece."

Lots of new cool stuff!! Enemies now have inventories and loot. You can take items from them if they’re dead or unconscious. You can also throw objects, and even lift heavier ones (like bodies) over your head before throwing them too. #roguelike #equipment #darkfantasy #DFE #gamedev #pixelart

archaeologists have unearthed what many are calling "the most metal shit anyone's ever seen"

Doing a major overhaul of how corpses, bodies, and body parts are handled. Here I’m using debug tools to dismember this poor gobbo for science. Soon I'll be killing goblins with their own hands. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #goblin #roguelike #simulation #pixelart #darkfantasy #DFE

Me playing a videogame: I believe I will put all my points into stealth. Every boss in the game: There he is!

Here’s the sixth part of the gameplay footage for my dark fantasy game, Crimson Rest. In this game, you must survive hordes of monsters while solving puzzles to find an exit. ➡️ Wishlist 'Crimson Rest' on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3993140 #darkfantasy #indiedev #gamedev #psx #godot

Several ways of stunning your opponents with a kick (First animated indicator of many to come 💫) #DFE #roguelike #darkfantasy #kick #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #goblin

Kicking some goblins down a building🦵! Those poor bastards were knocked down by the impact. Now enemies and objects can hit obstacles, other enemies, or the ground while falling, causing impact damage. Now I need taller grounds!! #DFE #roguelike #darkfantasy #indiegame #gamedev #goblin #pixelart

Now enemies follow you up stairs. There’s no escape but death. I might have amped up fall damage too much 😅 I’ll need more enemy variety soon, but that will come after the enemy equipment system and the severed limbs / body-part itemization system. #DFE #indiedev #gamelog #darkfantasy #falldamage

Here you can see a fun video of me throwing myself off a building again and again ,to test fall damage. You can see how it starts walking with a limp the more I do it (it's actually limping, not me just moving slower) #DFE #falldamage #roguelike #intrusivethoughs #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

And before I go to bed, a first taste of the stairs (I love systems coming together <3 ) A bit clunky for now, as everything else. G'night💤! #indiegame #gamedev #darkfantasy #pixelart #roguelike #DFE #stairs

First look at Z levels, I really want this to work. You can see items pocking through upper levels, and there's still no stairs/ramps, and there should be a slight position shift to make it work in perspective...but getting there!! (I need some furniture) #gamedev #indiegame #zlevels #roguelike #DFE

Taking a rest from trying to make the chunk-based map work, and going back into tiles and floors and walls and something that feels like advancing haha. Each has its own material, in case of impact, noise, fire spread etc #gamedev #indiegame #tileset #roguelike #DFE

Lo and behold! The infinite map! Devourer of RAM!! MUAHAHAHAhahahahha (I'll break everything again soon, let me enjoy this brief moment) #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #darkfantasy #pixelart #SimulationGame #DFE

Urgh, there's so many bugs in the inventory #gamedev #ゲーム制作 #monogame

This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress with a logo featuring Armok himself.

Remember when i said i was trying to make predators in DF hunt by sound? Well I got it working. Normally they need to look at you to go for you, now they will track you through the labyrinth unless you stealth. You'll hear them coming before you see them, i like the stress of that.

What an amazing and in-depth analysis of this childhood hidden gem I mentioned here before, and probably the culprit behind my obsession with medieval fantasy aesthetics. Huge respect to The CRPG Addict and to Luca Accomazzi and everyone involved in Sword Dream. #CRPG #RetroGaming #Macintosh

Im obsessed with the idea of not putting a single number in my game (other than counters if you have more than one of something) and conveying absolutely EVERYTHING with descriptors. I know for roguelikes that takes away transparency from players but I think it'd be very novel. Any thoughts?

I have been designing all the cities of the Dreamlands. It is a time consuming process, since Lovecraft decided to write about each one in such detail, and I've realized that this particular city is all wrong! Still, I might keep it after making some modifications... #ScreenshotSaturday

I can't get enough of this song. #macintosh #SwordDream #oldschool #rpg #ost #dungeonsynth

dont know if I ever posted this older commission here before

Found the original piece I made that features my current profile picture across all my socials. Made this for a Twitter post around 2016 (10 years 🥲!!!!), and of course it HAD to feature a goblin. #goblin #dwarf #fantasy #pixelart

Tarn and Zach just received their Magic cards and hopped on a call to do an unboxing together! (Stay to the end for a little reveal 👁) youtu.be/2nMRSBXQDpw

More menus for my #GameDev days...😅 But it's almost done! Starting to add new #PixelArt level previews for the Ruins. Then gotta finish hooking up the levels, writing new music, and the update and #Xbox launch is almost there for Puzzledorf! #IndieDev #IndieGames #Puzzlegames #AtariVCS

Indie Retro News: Broken Crown - A procedurally generated roguelike for the Commodore 64 by BarracudaBits www.indieretronews.com/2026/05/brok... #retrogaming #gaming #c64 @c64cade.com

I remember UnReal World, a game I played years ago. Kind of a roguelike survival/crafting open-world RPG. You hunt, fish, deal with harsh winters, learn many skills, etc. 🪓 Making my own cabin was such a big task, but I felt great when it was done! 🏡 (image not mine, couldn't find my old screenshot)

Came across these little goobers and I adore them. They're replicas of misericord carvings from the Lincoln Cathedral in England

Going through work emails and this dude jumpscares me.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

Distracted yesterday by another sudden compulsion to doodle tiles. Mountain tops re-purposed from an old set I didn't use. Been deep in my programming spirit-time-chamber for a couple months, and returning to it now.　Ｂｙｅ 👋

Got inspired. Trying to build a traditional roguelike system for a game. There's deep wounds simulation under the hood and rudimentary enemy behavior. I'll keep posting if I get somewhere with this 🤞🏻 #roguelike #dev #LÖVE
