I have played Ghostlore to level 15 (multiclassing). It is... good! Some visual feedback issues (easy to get one-shot, why is the background the same saturation as characters). Otherwise I agree with Seer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifX... And it's 40% off on Steam for the next 23hrs.

A nice roguelike walk around a forest: braininabowl.itch.io/a-forest (Would happily play a variety of games using this sort of UX.)

SAD GOD v1.0 st33d.itch.io/sad-god/devl...

I really loved this! justcamh.itch.io/snekcross

A little strange that they didn't make the engine a mess of edge cases that also requires more artwork.

Adding my own Torment Nexus to the adventure game project.

Dear game designers, have you considered moments other than "Ah Ha"? Eg: * What the hell is that? * Just how big is this thing? * Holy shit! * Wait, what? * I don't get it... it's impossible... okay I get it. Diversify your moments. Players can be so much more than Alan Partridge.

I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

Fast-paced and turn-based - the return of a roguelike legend! *Jupiter Hell Classic* packs procedural levels, explosive weapons, and brutal tactical combat. Early Access starts NOW! store.steampowered.com/app/3126530/...

on the payment processor situation from someone with experience in fintech… voidfox.com/blog/payment... “I guess I'm asking for some understanding, both of Itch's position, and the entire landscape, before declaring them at complete fault and dumping them in the sewer with all the other bad actors.”

I "love" seeing people publicly posting their earliest Steam purchases, which just happens to be a security question for account recovery...?

Robot Vacuum Cleaner Quest st33d.itch.io/robot-vacuum... not sure if this works as a game, let me know if it does

🍒 Whoa, what's this?! UFO 50 is available right now on #NintendoSwitch! #UFO50 #IndieWorld

i used to post this on facebook over and over and whenever someone hazarded a guess i'd respond "could be any" or "could be all" and it always got so many interactions that it was at the top of everyone's feed all day every day

Was really hoping for a 2nd character called Fragile in Death Stranding 2. (And they'd've played it straight like she meant that the whole time in the first game.)

Mythic Bastionland has arrived. (Electric Bastionland hasn't arrived sadly, but after Royal Mail trolling me every day of this week what should I expect)

Updated map sharing in Unending - now you can share maps on Android. st33d.itch.io/unending/dev...

Ah Clair Obscur. So many invisible walls. All areas demanding the sprint trigger. Parry or die (or grind). I should not have listened to the Untertale / Mario RPG fans. I hope I live long enough to see the TV show.

After seeing the Alien: Earth trailer I'm wondering if one of the writers owns a copy of Rifts: Atlantis.

I see people are getting excited about the idea of a 2nd person shooter - which Julian Oliver explored 20 years ago: we-make-money-not-art.com/for_a_few_ye... Sadly, I can't find the demo on his current website. Maybe someone still has a copy. julianoliver.com/projects/

Blacken Slash is providing a pleasant blend of traditional and puzzle roguelike. Wasn’t so sure about percent modifiers and random damage, but the variety is flavourful after a decade of 1 hit point trades.

And it's not just small studios that struggle to hit 500 user reviews! Dungeon Encounters is by some of the best designers at Square Enix. An experimental dungeon crawler for TRUE dungeon crawling perverts. So minimalist, there's not even any art, just numbers on the map that reference info-cards.

Going through Apple Arcade as my trial runs out soon, so I tried Patterned. It’s quite nice but also a bit disappointing as I’m old enough to remember Pandora’s Box, which had the same puzzle with overlapping pieces and no guide. Much harder. Sadly published by Microsoft, so very much dead.

Prepping a new Unending dungeon...

Very good. Requires a leap of faith: lintilion.itch.io/lcd-adventure

Let's look at some #7DRL bangers. I shall update as and when I find things. First up, NecroFactory - a factorio-bloons-like: numeron.itch.io/necrofactory Oof, that's a lot made in 7 days. Has me squinting a bit, but I'll give it a pass because it's a banger. And it's made in Java. Bless.

Another #7DRL another roguelike is born: 1 of 3 is a weird little dungeon crawler that has deck building but no JRPG style battles. st33d.itch.io/1-of-3

Ah nuts, I forgot all about doing a #7DRL countdown this year. 3, 2, 1, go make a roguelike in a week, LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOO!!!! itch.io/jam/7drl-cha...

For all the David Lynch fans out there, may I present: Eraserhead Tamagotchi. gwenckatz.itch.io/eraserhead-t...

Rogue Trader is pretty decent so far. I'm liking the simple x-com-esque fights. The officer class is fun (like a bard-cleric). And the setting is, well it's Warhammer, which generally lifts any average writing above mediocre.

In case you were wondering what Cinco Paus would feel like if it was more like Temple Run: internetemotions.itch.io/wtfamily3d
