raising of the golden dead working pretty well now, these are all existing units that previously died, so the history of the game kind of gets recited through reanimation, the tall ones are a bunch of giant obars and the big slouching ones are a defeated group of icedrakes

day 2 of implementing this dead-raising system, now for the more familiar Achra god Dumuzi, mentioning the previous unit type in the description and then going to implement some sprite variants based on vague unit classes like human, serpent, monster

This clearly shouldn't be my first response, but I just find myself so remarkably annoyed not by the fact that my field is being co-opted by the worst people, but that it is being co-opted by the dumbest people, just the thickest, most arrogantly superficial 'trousered apes' imaginable.

ok got the basic dead-raising where it finds a named unit from all the dead units and restores it as the new type, can make this for other sects now like dumuzi's golden dead etc

recently the workflow involves sending emails like this to myself

doing hobgoblins

my opinion on gameplay loop fundamentalism is it's kind of like thinking about writing only in terms of tropes / beats like hero's journey etc. Useful for an industry that wants to mass produce scripts

Imagine, you are buzzing after the last sip of your third Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc. You just met a lovely retiree whose daughter-in-law is going to phone you about the condo in Hallandale. You walk up to my tent, I smile at you. I have Golgotha loaded up in Classic.

doing all the initial wall tiles, I think for a lot of them verisimilitude can be abandoned for something more glyph-like

Singing “this is crazy?! Everybody is so famous?!” When I walk into the house of the dead (ereshkigal) wearing the clothes and perfumes I wore in life and am swarmed and consumed by the shades therein

one of the best to be doing it

getting a demon from the demon pact also summons a hostile demon (an "Invader" faction) that can kill you and take over the world, and does this in a way that scales. Experimenting with that kind of thing. I like the idea of an computer player doing this unbeknownst

I sit on the floor now

messing it up

makes me think of something like what if pokemon but you collect elemental priesthoods, hierophants instead of trainers

messing with the idea of upgrades, the lightning one increases range so my summoned undead are throwing lightning bolts

this looks really cool

experimenting with acts that make buildings start spawning, this could flavorfully be good with fungal / world-warping / void flower type magic

found why the map was empty
