Gave me a chuckle.

I will have to retract my fairly positive opinion about Claude and agentic code tools in general. While they do work fairly competently with the DRL mixed FreePascal/Lua codebase, against the much larger C++/Lua codebase of Jupiter Hell they're proving barely worthwhile...

Still on a break from my Elder Scrolls full playthrough, I took upon myself to fix the cardinal sin of never having played Half-Life. Started OG Half-Life 1...

To mark Polish National Cat Day, here's a classic case of artist vs cardboard art :)

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.9 "Melee" is out! New melee traits + Masters for Scouts/Techs, improved melee FX, Relics equipment slot, UI/UX upgrades, grenade + weapon tweaks, mod drop rate buff, toxic medusas, and Shattered Abyss! store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

The only thing growing exponentially in genAI is energy consumption and the volume of executive bullshit ahead of the next funding round.

I am so honoured to officially host this week's #TurnBasedThursday on Bluesky! 🗣 INDIE DEVS! Show off your turn-based games in this thread with the hashtag! PLAYERS! Come on in & 💬comment, ❤️like, 🔁repost & ✨wishlist all the great games in the thread!

Just on time for Christmas Eve I've defeated Hircine and finished Morrowind in my quest to complete the Elder Scrolls. I'll take a breather and later head to Oblivion! Merry Christmas 🎄 :D

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.8 "Arsenal" is out now! Item perks, ADV gear with random perks, powerful Relics, clearer UI, reworked status timing, assembly cleanup, balance tweaks, and a new difficulty curve! #traditional #roguelike store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

Elder Scrolls full playthrough status report - finished Tribunal, heading for Bloodmoon!

We promised more mechanical transparency, and we're delivering - even in the most esoteric of places! #JupiterHellClassic

Vibe coding basically gives the effect of a client constantly requesting new requirements to a project without allocating refactoring time.

The Jupiter Hell Classic equivalent of a chess puzzle: What do you do to save the loot? Does it change depending on class/traits? :P

As a few of you know I'm on a quest to finish the entirety of the main Elder Scrolls series - Morrowind has been completed, the Tribunal expansion is next!

Tenerife, Teide peak (3718m). Really needed some time off!

So yeah the third idea is the ARPG one - here the permafailure design would have to be more loose as the single character vs game length would be painful. So we keep an in-world explanation of rebirth when attempting 2-3 hour max missions. Death wipes new loot and a part of the new XP.

Other idea was an XCom-like but with permafailure. No loading previous save files, but lethality would be toned down (think Necromunda out of action + injury). Dealing with missions gone south, cutting losses, comebacks, long-term injury, etc is an untapped area in XCom-likes.

One idea I'm playing around since a long time is merging the classic Dungeon Hack-style 90-degrees rotation dungeon crawler with a traditional DCSS-style roguelike game. Care would have to be taken to make the early game smooth, but I think there's potential.

My original idea was to start with roguelikes and then bring the design ideas to other genres. I see that was done without me already :P. So which merge should I go for first - blobber dungeon crawlers? Action RPGs? Or Xcom-likes?

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.7 "Europa" update is live now, and on sale as part of #ScreamFest2025 ! Turn-based, grid-based traditional roguelike with a strong FPS lineage! store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

Tempted to finally start that big roguelike project again.

It's my 3rd serious playthrough through Morrowind, and only now it hit me on how much it borrows from Dune :P

Even if it's here for just a moment, it's always so lovely to see <3

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

Some of you know of my quest to complete the Elder Scrolls back to back... I just finished Daggerfall! A short break and I will head to Morrowind next! (to those curious - I went with the Underking...)

Jupiter Hell Classic #devstream #41 is live! Early and longer stream today - melee, grenades, maybe new enemies? www.twitch.tv/epyoncf

This is *the* modern roguelike (actual roguelike) with a lot of really cool design happening: my fave crafting of any game (tied with Teleglitch), nice/easy UI (this is insanely rare in this genre), a chain of secrets threaded through the game, etc.. definitely check this one out!

Ok I’m knee-deep into this

Somehow, DRL returned.
