Four flavors of goofy little guy #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #roguelike

Guts, Goblins and Glory! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #arpg #indiegamedev #indiegame

Hematic is getting needlessly complex, which is just the way I like a game to be. (Can't speak for others) #screenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #roguelike #arpg

I try really hard not to be precious about my #gamedev #indiedev ideas. If I put it in the game, I can viciously rip it out if its not fun. Case in point: The block that makes you drunk.

Sure, I'll do one of these. Hematic started as a silly ASCII rendering experiment. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #gaming #roguelike #arpg #rpg

Orbus has various things to say to you. #indiedev #gamdev

This is Orbus, coming "soon" in plushie form. Orbus is a mid-level demon, a floating orb of swirling crimson blood. When the earth is rocked by a cataclysmic sundering Orbus is cast out of hell and latches on to you, empowering you to kill. #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #roguelite #arpg #gamedesign

Just a funny lil' guy and the blood demon orb who follows him everywhere 🩸💖 #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign #roguelike #roguelite #arpg #dungeoncrawler

STATUS REPORT FROM EARTH #indiedev #gamedev

Meet Orbus, who lives in your BloodHome. Orbus is a mid-level blood demon and the font of your power. Collect blood from fallen enemies and he will grant you otherworldly powers. VOLUME UP 🔊🔊 #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign #gamelore #indiegamedev #roguelike

So should I jump in the weird portal, or... #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #roguelike #arpg #rpg

Meet the loot of Hematic, the dungeon-crawling arpg roguelike you don't yet know you need in your life #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiegaming #roguelike #gamedesign

I wrote an entire ASCII scratch-off system for this dumb Gambler class

HOT TIP #gamedev #indiedev

It's a beautiful day to spend 16 hours coding!

Our powerful blood shader renders blood as a persistent effect across an entire map that can be manipulated by otherworldly powers, like this BloodZerker subclass with an enhanced blood suction ability 🩸 #indiedev #gamedev #programming #shaders #indiegame #roguelike #indiegamedev

Shrines scattered around our procedural dungeons provide powerful boons like this hyper-speedy melee attack 👹🔨🩸 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #arpg

Explore the dangerous unpredictable and loot-filled ASCII dungeons of HEMATIC! A roguelike ARPG where everything is text, pixels, and viscera! Absorb the BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES to grow in strength and descend! Coming soon! 🩸👹🩸👹 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #arpg #indiegaming

HEMATIC: SERVANT OF THE BLOOD ORB DEMON 🩸👹🔨🩸 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedesign #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelike

A few people complained that our ASCII game's UI wasn't "ASCII Enough" so of *course* I've been busy writing an entire shader based DOS terminal simulation for the entire UI #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #programming #shaders #gamedesign #UI #UX

Loading Torment... Assembling Bones... Brewing Blood... Producing Anguish... (What it's actually doing is generating procedural textures. Neato!) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #roguelike

A quick look a few of our subclasses and their special abilities! 👹🔥⚡🩸🩸🩸🩸 #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegaming BRING. 👏 ON. 👏 THE. 👏 BLOOD!

Intense sounds of squelching blood, viscera, gore, the crack of bones, the tearing of ligaments #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #sounddesign

Meet Orbus, your faithful friend and companion, a floating crystal orb filled with blood! Orbus teaches you how to play the game. #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #rougelike #indiegame

Death's Champion Approaches #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #rougelike

Ooh, a creepy orb! Hope it's friendly! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #roguelike #indiegame

Detail: UI: From bottom to top, your health, blood, and portal orbs. #gamedesign #ui #ux #gamedev #indiedev

Detail: Grass shader gently rippling the texture to simulate wind. #shaders #programming #gamedev #indiedev

Attention: I have upgraded to a Keychron Q6 Max in carbon black with side-printed keycaps and Kailh Box Navy switches. #keyboards #typing #programming #gamedev

Our game (& lighting shader) now support ultra wide monitors! #gamedev #indiedev #programming #shaders

I have altered the UI again, pray I don't alter it further #gamedev #gamedesign #ui #ux #indiedev #indiegame

The blood you absorb from monsters can be used to power blood magic like this new blood lightning attack 🩸⚡ #gamedesign #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

Our UI has been entirely reskinned to reflect the sheer volume of blood you encounter 🩸🩸🩸 #gamedesign #UI #gamedev #indiedev

The machine requires blood. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

Little things - randomized "war paint" for your character #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedesign

Blood Magic: Holding middle mouse transforms the blood drawn from enemies into a vortex of magical damage #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #indiegame #programming #shaders

Detail: Monsters leave a lot of blood behind. We use a compute shader to "suck up" the surrounding texture, counting every pixel as it gets absorbed so we know ~exactly how much blood you've consumed~ #gamedev #indiedev #programming #shaders #gamedesign

As monsters bleed, die, and bleed more the player can suck up the procedural blood layer around them like a vacuum powering special effects and events. #gamedev #indiedev #programming #shaders #indiegame

Magical deeds are afoot #gamedev #indiedev #programming #shaders #indiegame

In my dreams I saw rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood, upon rivers of blood,

I have, uh, slightly increased the amount of persistent blood that the monster bits leave on the floor as they fly around #gamedesign #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike

Shader effect: Wind rustles through the grass next to a flickering campfire and the glow of standing torches. #gamedev #indiedev #programming #shaders #indiegamedev #indiegame

Indie game developers - Were any of you ~not~ programmers when you started? Do you consider yourself one now? How is that going? I Imagine it's a steep uphill battle? I ask because I was a professional developer for years before I started game dev and I'm curious #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Flargo's Fungus Flail I am addicted to giving the objects in our game the stupidest names possible #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign
