I took the time to throw my #7drl on GitHub. It's under the MIT license, so make use of it however you wish. https://github.com/BraininaBowl/Corridor-Fight-Scene-7DRL2026

Another #7drl finished: https://braininabowl.itch.io/corridor-fight-scene

Writing enemy AI routines is hard, You know? #7drl

It's that wonderful time of the year again. #7drl

While searching for a job I've been forced to get back on #linkedin, and wow. That place always was kinda sad, but these days it's downright terrifying.

Update for the "I've forgotten almost everything about Dark Souls" replay: Ornstein and Smough went down in the fourth attempt. Strength build truly is the #easy mode here. Now back to Blighttown, I vaguely remember there's something with a secret door I should do there. #darksouls #replay

#coffee!

As a fun side project, I created a password generator in html/js. (live: https://braininabowl.github.io/Paswurdium/ source: https://github.com/BraininaBowl/Paswurdium/). Some of it creations turn out to be quite #poetic - The-angry-house-sleeps-once-the-river-thinks - A.angry.computer.thinks […]

I've achieved a gamer's dearest wish: I've not played Dark Souls for long enough to not remember most of it. I've started a new run, I'm in Anor Londo and find myself pleasantly baffled. #darksouls #praisethesun

Asking for a project I'm working on: is there a more #neutral and #inclusive set of terms for whitelisting and blacklisting?

I made a thing again: *Can't be careful on a skateboard, man!* is a #pico8 #skateboarding game based on the little known secondary story playing in the background of Stephen King's It. https://braininabowl.itch.io/cant-be-careful-on-a-skateboard-man #picostevemo

It's that time of the year again, when #picostevemo is in full swing and everybody (yes, including you) spends the month making a #pico8 game based on the work of Stephen King. https://itch.io/jam/picostevemo-3

Two more #linocut prints to add to my portfolio. It's hard to express the satisfaction it gives to draw one of these by hand, cut it, print it, and then have the physical result of your labor. #mastoart #art #printmaking #prints

I used to think "I use Arch [Linux]" was a sentence closely related to "Do you read Sutter Cane?", but now I've been running it for a week in my laptop (via CachyOS) and I must admit I really like it. I've picked Niri as my desktop on a whim, and it's incredibly smooth and usable. I've always […]

And that's another game wrapped: I just finished A Forest, my #nonviolent tradtional #roguelike. While designing a non-violent roguelike, I might have accidentally stumbled into interactive fiction. https://braininabowl.itch.io/a-forest #14drl #gamedev #nonviolentgames

Finished my third #linocut #print design last week: Vicar #amelia from #bloodborne. This was my first time using that new-fangled ez-cut material instead of old-fashioned #linoleum, there's definite up- and downsides to both.

Last year I picked up #linocut #printing as a hobby, and yesterday I finished my second #design. There's something incredibly satisfying about making a design, cutting it out by hand, and then printing it by hand. #linoprint #mastoart

I've been going through my box of old #doodles and #sketches, stuff spanning from college to my first job, and some of these are surprisingly nice. There's #weird creatures, visual puns, and plain #silliness.

Sharing this from my job (not on Mastodon). If you're into #eventdriven systems, #eventsourcing, #ddd, or anything like that, you should come hang out. It's pretty cool. AxonIQ Conference 2025 is open for real-world talks — the messy, hard-won lessons […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Now that I finished making my #roguelike for #7drl2025, I can finally resume work on my #playdate pulp project, which is to make a roguelike. I finally managed to get a spell selection menu that I'm happy with, which has been a roadblock for the longest time. #indiedev #gamedev #ui

Okay, #music masto, please help me out. I'm looking for music to match my mood: Something like Ólafur Arnalds or Sigur Ros but more #metal, or #opeth but less metal. Basically, I'm looking for the hallway point between Kveikur and Blackwater Park. It's there such a thing as moody wistful […]

Oh, that #7drl #roguelike #game I made is also #opensource, in case you're wondering how it all works: https://github.com/BraininaBowl/Quartz-7DRL2025

And that's another #7drl finished. It was a crazy rush near the end, but I managed to create a new, original, roguelike game in seven days! https://braininabowl.itch.io/quartz #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Work on my #7drl entry is ongoing. Less than a day left to turn this into an actual game! https://braininabowl.itch.io/quartz/devlog/902115/day-6-hubris

Looking pretty! #7drl #gamedev #roguelike

It's time for #7drl2025, where I (and a lot of other people) will be making a #roguelike game in 7 days. You can follow my progress at https://braininabowl.itch.io/quartz/devlog/897948/setting-up, if you like. #7drl #gamedev #indiedev

A rare #kaiju attack in The Hague today as a giant #crow terrorizes the harbour.

In my enthusiasm for the upcoming #7drl2025 I decided to #opensource last years' entry Piss and Vinegar. I'll probably be reusing some of this code, so why shouldn't you? https://github.com/BraininaBowl/Piss-and-Vinegar-7DRL2024 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #7drl

So, I'm trying the new #surf client for Mastodon (and other stuff) and it's cool and ... different? The design is sublime, and the UX of browsing through posts feels *very* nice, but it's very different from what I'm used to. No longer just scrolling through the timeline and catching up with […]

I made a little wooden lockbox for a treasure hunt for my daughter. There really was only one possible combination for the lock... #immersivesim #451
