New book now coming out very soon. Next month!

cooking up a bit of lore for #Roguefort

Perusing itch.io to find a game soundtrack and can I just say, this is how you do asset pack marketing tungerman.itch.io/tearjerker-m...

Experiment with roads and paths making you walk faster - in this case two tiles per step. I think it works kinda well? Handy in a tight spot but always with the option for YASD #ROGUEFORT #roguelikedev #roguelikes #indiedev #solodev #indiegames

Let’s not wait til the water runs dryyyy

experiments with procedurally generating continents and filling them with POIs #roguefort #indiedev #gamedev #roguelikedev

You can now go fishing in #Fortrogue I've spent way way too much sleep time working on this, and now it's an entire mini game with hundreds of fish, skill-based stats, rods to collect, lures, enchantments to apply. Why is this in a traditional roguelike? I don't know. #indiedev #roguelikedev

Just submitted the demo build of #Polydangerous to Steam Available for wishlisting now store.steampowered.com/app/4323770/... #indiedev #solodev #indiegames #gamedev

Why do I not feel like actually making a proper sprite for the rabbits in this game

A shoddy demo of Cyclopean II is up on Steam as I prepare for Next Fest. #NextFest #CRPG #Retrogaming store.steampowered.com/news/app/399...

can someone do me a solid.. its been like this all day: conornally.itch.io/diabaig #diabaig #roguelikedev #indiegamedev

One of those bugs where you start a new run to discover the player is now starting with no clothes and no inventory items #QuestForClothes

The #Roguefort equivalent of the day 1 Minecraft dirt house I'm trying to see if new players can get to the village reasonably without dying too much #roguelikedev #indiedev #indiegaming #questforthevillagewithoutdying

Here's the "house" I built next to dungeon stairs - nestled into some trees and with a barricade for the final bit of wall as I ran out of stone... the barricade meant I had line of sight outside. A bandit sat out there most of the night waiting for me or maybe bugging out lol

Some of the dialogue from the console log in #Roguefort. Trying to give a sense of danger and things happening in the world at night. There's an event script with a probability table for stuff like toads falling from the sky. Some of the events matter, some don't, some have unintended flow on fx

Feeling under the weather still, but #Roguefort gets some sprite dev - here's the player and a wolf. 16x16 pixel and PICO-8 extended palette. Oh and also a world map with markers and POIs #roguelikedev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Presenting a roughly drawn tileset for #Roguefort. ASCII or sprites in #roguelikes ... What's your poison? #roguelikedev #indiedev #gamedev

A bit under the weather today, but coming up on 2k hours usage time in asesprite #pixelart #indiedev #roguelikedev

Traditional roguelike enjoyers know #roguelikedev

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev Update is available already! New II.8 release is up! Take a look to the machete_readme to go over the details and 'minutiae' :D packing a punch, this one!

This is the first game I ever made; it has been sitting in my dev folder for nearly a decade. I figured it was time to publish Off-Piste, a simple arcade game about carving down a hill, avoiding obstacles and outpacing an avalanche #indiegamedev #arcade #retro #skiing conornally.itch.io/off-piste

The 4th annual #TurnBasedThursdayFest will be March 9-16! Hundreds of excellent games & discounts on Steam, Let's Plays & giveaways, & our first ever Featured Reveals trailer showcase! Help us spread the word? ❤️🔃 Developer & content creator signups are open, 🔗 in replies 👇

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev ...more work on fonts with subtle artistic touches.

Published delve 0.5.3, which squashes a few bugs and adds a bit of polish here and there! Now onward and upward to ver 0.6, which will hopefully only take a month or two....... danarama.itch.io/delve #delve #roguelikedev

Hello darkness my old friend Testing the day to night transition in #roguefort timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort #indiedev #roguelikedev

Thought I might take a quick squiz at the updated Apple App Review Guidelines. On second thoughts… #gamedev #indiedev

Let's go sailing in Roguefort timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #indiedev

entities finally have some (limited) decision-making power goal->decision->intent->action there are fine-grained variable action costs and inherent entity speed. So, walking on rough terrain or uphill will take longer, but a faster entity will act more frequently #roguelikdev #screenshotsaturday

ROGUEFORT major update has just been released! Huge graphics and UI/UX polish across the board. This is a tower defense traditional ASCII turnbased #roguelike, which has nothing to do with roquefort cheese. Free to play - feedback welcome! #indiegames #indiedev timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort

Doing a sneaky Saturday update on #Roguefort, a traditional #roguelike with a tower defense vibe. The current version on itch.io will get a flashy new update hopefully later tonight timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort

Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch your text size needs to be bigger no, bigger c'mon coward, bigger! what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER

Brand new look for the Bluesky account as I try to add a modicum of professionalism to this tiny little humble game dev project

Roguelite game project got a Steam page before the 4 actual turn-based roguelike games I've been working on. I don't know why or how this has happened, but more things coming soon!

Sometimes it's the side side-project that gets the first Steam page. I can't believe I'm finally able to say the words... "wishlist now!" store.steampowered.com/app/4323770/...

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

#nightshift #roguelikedev #ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike first pic, encountered ToadKiller Dog (any #BlackCompany fan around?) displayed old normal ascii. Second pic encountered Mughash hidind in a small vault. New characters displayed. Notice the @ and the ! come from different fonts, and walls!

Today I started fixing a longstanding if not bug then annoyance: my monsters are real dumb when they are trying to run away! Look at that guy: smart enough to run to the door, open it, step into the doorway and then...he turns around and goes the other way...

Procedural planet generator rendered entirely in ASCII text #gamedev #indiedev #programming #coding #procedural #simulation All in under 300 lines of code (Not including the terminal shader)

a different representation of the same island

procedural beach formation and tide cycles its far from a perfect generation algorithm but i think it sells the idea more or less #screenshotsaturday #procgen #gamedev

taking a break from implementing the new algorithm to play some games. today i am trying dana's delve, which is new to me! it seems /extremely/ charming. the minimalist control scheme, the beautiful color work, and the animated clouds are speaking to me. danarama.itch.io/delve #roguelikesunday
