2026 will be the year of the crest

You can now sail around in boats in #ROGUEFORT! Latest patch just dropped timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort

I might resurrect my ascii reverse Rimworld clone project these holidays. The colony are the “monsters” and the raids are from adventurers

Did you survive the holidays???🥳 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtTe... #theralite #wishlist #indie #pixelart #roguelike

Over the holidays my nephew and I designed and coded up a tiny turn-based strategy game. It's basically tower defense x traditional #roguelike. It's so addictive that I want to share it with the world. Enjoy! #roguelikedev #indiegames #gamedev #tinygames timothyjgraham.itch.io/roguefort

One of the cities I've been working on for Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. This is Baharna, on the coast of Oriab, a large island in the Southern Sea... #TurnBasedThursday #CRPG #GameDev

We’re honored to officially host the last #TurnBasedThursday of the year! 🎉 💡 #IndieGameDev / #GameDev, drop your bloody #turnbased game below (Don't forget 'bout the hashtag!) 🎮 #Gamers, do ye love turn-based games?❤/🔁 your favorites in the replies and @ other devs too! 👇

A simple working prototype of the character creation system in #Eikasia. It's heavily inspired by Path of Achra so full credit to @ulfsire.bsky.social for this groundbreaking framework, which I fell in love with so much that I wanted to try making games myself! #indiedev #roguelikedev #gamedev

Time for a quick #ZMAngband test. Works on Win11 and looks *exquisite*. If only I had the time to play more today, alas

Trailer Time! Theralite is our upcoming turn based sci-fi Roguelike. Wishlist now on Steam!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtTe...

You can now zap yourself to death with electricity while standing in water in #Eikasia. Good times! (thx @conornally.bsky.social for the reminder that this needs to be implemented!) #roguelikedev #indiedev #solodev

v2 Briareus simple sprite

Simple pixel art of Briareus, of ancient Greek mythology, defeater of the Titans, the ally of Zeus, and jail warden of Tartarus #pixelart #Eikasia #experimental

It turns out that trying to fit Briareus into a 32x32 pixel sprite is exactly as hard as it sounds. You've only got 1024 pixels to work with, which basically mathematically guarantees that the depiction is not going to be mythologically accurate. Spare a thought!

It surprised me just how complex a seemingly simple game like a traditional #roguelike can be. There’s SO much going on under the hood

The number of systems in my game #Eikasia is starting to stack up! #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #programming #gamemaker

Meet Briareus, a being who had 50 heads and 100 hands, and embodied the chaos of nature. Briareus: - had Gaia and Uranus as parents - was undefeated - was imprisoned, then freed by Zeus - became allied with Zeus - helped defeat the Titans - guarded Tartarus and kept the imprisoned Titans in check

Man, Ancient Greek mythology is so badass. Like the Telkhines, four island-dwelling sea gods who invented metalworking and, among other things, crafted the sickle that Kronos used to castrate (!) his dad Ouranos. They had heads of dogs and fish fins for hands. www.theoi.com/Pontios/Telk...

This talk is wonderful if you're creating a brogue-like www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo9-... Now my game-prototype creates beautiful levels like these

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev Hello! New update 0.8E is already available for download and enjoy the heck out of it. With the much worked 'sounds & feelings' feature paired with new,fresh visuals in 256 ASCII Technicolor xD for a reinforced immersion and enjoyment! Link in bio :)

It's not a true roguelike without terrain interaction! Water now conducts electricity in #Eikasia woohoo. This was a hard one to implement but so much fun now it's working. #roguelikedev #indiedev #gamedev #roguelikes

Great questions of our time www.youtube.com/watch?v=35yf...

#ZMAngband #traditionalroguelike #roguelikedev chased by Goblins, here's a cool screenshot showing the 'sounds & feelings' feature combined with the new coloring.Uniques now have an exclusive colour just for them.Also roaches xD among many other monsters.Hell, even rusty items now look rusted. :))

Game over screen heavily inspired by Nethack, using simple vector art for that hometown feel #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #roguelikedev #roguelike #indiegames #EIKASIA

The beginnings of a game over screen. Dying over and over to try and get those positions right for the elements is quite the experience #roguelikedev #indiedev #indiegame #eikasia #gameover

adding more of the art in lol
