Entering towns in @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia The gleam is way overboard, maybe we'll skip that ;) I've written the description myself, I'm not sure if that's what they'll look like in the full game. Different guards depending on the ruling body (literally! :D)

Things are getting more beautiful in #RealmsOfAncardia thanks due to the great decorations drawn by @ravenmore.pl - right now beautifying the character generation screen. Things are coming together in #roguelike #programming.

Starting to add more beautiful decorations to windows in #RealmsOfAncardia: Bottom first, more to come :-)

Hello all, hope you're doing well =) All good here! I've been sitting on this since last week, almost forgot to post. Character portrait creation concept for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia It may not end up looking that way, but it's a sweet idea anyway ;) #roguelike #rpg #pixelart

A small gif of moon phases in @brannalbin.bsky.social's #RealmsOfAncardia :) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Here we go with development update 12 for #RealmsOfAncardia: www.roguelike.games/2025/09/11/r... Posting will slow down a little with these updates as we currently work on many internal things that are not that exciting to report. Stay tuned nonetheless. #roguelike #programming

Good afternoon, hope you're all good =) In the weeds today, composing UI, breaking it down into tasks. @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia progressing nice and consistent. #gamedev #inidedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

ravenmore.itch.io/realms-of-an... Unlisted, but the link should work! (I hope ;))

Hello, hope everyone is doing well :) Here's a prototype portrait creator for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia Very oldschool UI :) It's on itch...but unlisted...is anyone even interested in trying it? #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello there, hope everyone is doing well this fine Monday! Quick example of @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia character portrait system in all it's glory, including the usual (and unusual) #rpg #roguelike cast of races Yes, colors are editable. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

This creator is really is a small little thing, and I enjoy it immensely :D #roguelikes #rpg

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update 11: www.roguelike.games/2025/09/05/r... Took a moment due to too many distractions - but now I should be back on track :-D

Good morning, hope you're all well. Was moving house last week so pardon the lack of usual updates. This week in #RealmsOfAncardia from @brannalbin.bsky.social : UI and Character generation. And portraits =) Yes, with color and hair/beard styles eventually! #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #pixelart

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update 10: www.roguelike.games/2025/08/13/r... Still moving slow due to vacation time...

Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a good day :) Tweaking colors a bit, aiming for a darker atmosphere and making sure the interesting parts are clearly legible. After that, more UI pixels, as required. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #realmsofancardia #roguelike #rpg

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day :) Pixelling monsters today for #RealmsOfAncardia. And to illustrate - an oldschool way of keeping track of sprites. Config file for beings has ~300 entries. Gods have mercy on us @brannalbin.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update 9: www.roguelike.games/2025/08/06/r... Lots of experiments and graphical direction decisions. #roguelike #programming

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day. All good here. Pixelling some things today, and in the meantime enjoying @brannalbin.bsky.social 's cheat menu. Definitely some life-changing cheats here :-0 #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #gameart Pardon the experimental color pixels.

Interesting. The world map in #RealmsOfAncardia no longer is flat. What do you think? (ignore the stupid text log) And thanks once more to @zenorogue.bsky.social for the original implementation idea in bsky.app/profile/zeno... and to @ravenmore.pl for suggesting to use this in #RealmsOfAncardia.

Inspired by @zenorogue.bsky.social 's post about globular ASCII projections (my words) in bsky.app/profile/zeno... I tried that for #RealmsOfAncardia but I guess I have no talent at anything but rectangular 2D maps 🤪 The joys of #roguelike #programming

And some little impressions of what little bit of #gameplay exists right now for my new #roguelike #BlobRL:

Added a page for my latest sidetrek #BlobRL (while the main focus of work remains #RealmsOfAncardia) - but the blob is too cute to not talk about :-) www.roguelike.games/2025/08/03/s...

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a lovely day! Lots of boring UI things this week, but I did manage to take a look at a more realistic Ancardian map for @brannalbin.bsky.social Wanted it to feel more like a real place... Have a great weekend! =) #rpg #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Hello everone, hope you're doing well. Here's a realistic picture of us crawling towards the weekend. No wait, that's ChAoS consuming the sun and stars. @brannalbin.bsky.social is still cooking ;) Have a lovely weekend everyone =) #roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Sometimes vacations birth weird ideas (new #roguelike #game #BlobRL ). And no: This won't affect #RealmsOfAncardia negatively...

A yet another vizualization of the distortions of the Mercator projection. A #roguelike map using the Mercator projection is projected back on a sphere. In the map, all the characters are of the same size.

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update 8: www.roguelike.games/2025/07/16/r... A little work got done before vacation time started. Have a good time and peace be with you. Regular posts will resume around the 6th of August 2025. Axes high!

Good afternoon, hope you're all having a good day :) This week adding art to liven up the UI in RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social. Should have tested if it overpowers the panel BEFORE comitting to it? Perhaps...lessons learned. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #RealmsOfAncardia

Now working on highly varied law enforcement configurations in #RealmsOfAncardia because I'd like to test combat in settlements first. Which usually is a crime. And will bring you into contact with law enforcement. Lots of fun subsystems to build in that corner :-)

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update 7: www.roguelike.games/2025/07/09/r... The size of the code base of the game has almost doubled since I started posting weekly development updates (from ca. 18,000 LOC to 36,000 LOC). The underlying framework has grown by 30%. #roguelike #programming

Character generation is #RealmsOfAncardia is complete enough for now. Just finished the missing last major pieces.

Just finished reading this amazing old SF story… #books #sciencefiction

Combat skills start to have meaning in #RealmsOfAncardia

Good morning, hope you're all doing well! Fresh pixel art to start the day. Silently encroaching on the UI... an iteration of the "chaos progress bar" for #RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social Now back to crafting pixels. Have a pleasant weekend =) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

It seems combat in #RealmsOfAncardia will be more complex, differentiated and full of additional tactical choices compared to #ADOM. Any ideas what the shortcut numbers in the combat stat block might mean? While you guess I will continue #programming my new #roguelike...

Combat skills in #RealmsOfAncardia just got a little more complex... (and received a tab of their own).

Experimenting with a visual damage indicator for #RealmsOfAncardia #roguelike #programming can be so much when your custom engine has reached a state where adding such a feature takes less than five minutes :-)

Happy Creator's Day! Play #ADOM if you haven't yet...

#Skills in #RealmsOfAncardia are the next area that gets a lot of attention. They permeate the game and thus need to be structurally available ASAP. The current draft is not yet a pleasure to look at but we are getting somewhere... #roguelike #programming

#RealmsOfAncardia weeky development update 6: www.roguelike.games/2025/07/01/r... Only technical work this week. Next week will focus on gameplay.

#ADOM #AncientDomainsOfMystery starsigns are back in #RealmsOfAncardia. In the Ancardian calendar months are named after the star signs. There are 12 months of 30 days each (nice and even ;)) @brannalbin.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

I'm right now busy ripping out my Curses layer from #RealmsOfAncardia in order to rely 100% on my new graphical component architecture. I guess some weird effects are to be expected when #programming a #roguelike but this one is weird... and tough. WARNING! SCREEN SHAKING!

Thinking about a UI that gets covered in growth as the world state changes. Feel maybe too plant-like rather than tentacle like? Maybe a simple bar makes more sense... #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #RealmsOfAncardia @brannalbin.bsky.social

Here we go with #weekly #development #update number 5 while #programming the new #roguelike #RealmsOfAncardia: www.roguelike.games/2025/06/25/r...

Lots of groundwork to cover while #programming #RealmsOfAncardia before the first actual item can be defined in the game 😅 The joys of developing a #roguelike...

#Death in #RealmsOfAncardia is more beautiful than ever... #roguelike #programming

#RealmsOfAncardia now haz framez... and better typography, spacing and a unified color scheme for the character generation screen. #roguelike #programming

#RealmsOfAncardia weekly development update #4: www.roguelike.games/2025/06/18/r... Lots of bugs were slain! And character creation is starting to be a thing.

And what would the #GrayMouser be without #Fafhrd? Now I dream of being able to play #RealmsOfAncardia in an interesting way without ever having to leave a city :-)
