General @,

I really loved Golden Krone Hotel. It's a neat game with a lot of well integrated mechanics. A lot of trade off choices. A lot of physical maneuvering. Things to plan for, but still well paced. It's fascinating how they tied so many different, interesting ideas into gameplay. It has a some genius.

today's roguelike is golden krone hotel and it rocks

Haven't posted here in a while. Maybe I've been sleeping on the sky...

New Roguelike Radio! I speak to @tommy.aiandgames.com & @vulgat.bsky.social about generative AI and its expanding role in game development: www.roguelikeradio.com/2026/05/epis...

voxelized sphere in a 128^3 space, can dig in it with the mouse. rendered via raymarching. runs entirely on the GPU end-to-end, other than having to send up the digging instructions (a single vec3 unfiorm) into a compute shader each frame. runs at ~1000 fps. made with #godot

the blue place is probably too anti-AI but risking that: I can't believe I was able to get this going so quickly

New UI looks pretty good! Love putting the artwork this big. #gamedev #indie #chess

I'm gonna call it. Bluesky has/will fail because of lack of gif support.

Got my first ascii art ass review. 😎 I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

i added ships to the world sim. they are baby ships right now but they'll be /extremely/ cool in a couple days. they have cargo and are doing a fallback wandering behavior because they don't have route data yet.

Still have this problem where I don't know if people pay no attention to a thing because it's terrible or they pay no attention because that's par. I can't stop thinking about localthunk showing Balatro to his best friends and getting absolute crickets for months.

Kind of pissed that my game has had steam deck support for THREE YEARS and no verification. Plenty of reviews say it works perfectly. Meanwhile some games I try with Verified status have major, blocking UX bugs on steam deck.

Sometimes I think about how my dad would have been 13 when A New Hope came out and I can't imagine a more perfect age for that.

this was hard af

Kind of confused by everyone who thinks Klarna invented credit.

Yea it definitely feels like this

I got an EE/CPE degree and a CS masters and somehow never took linear algebra. 🥴

The GOAT

Actually I take it back. I do believe the art thing but several people have told me they love this style so...

Every time some big argument about the Video Game Crash happens, I'm tempted to do a video essay trying to explain it all in very 101 terms. One day I might even do it. But for now, here's my attempt at a Crash 101 in thread form. 🧵 CRASH 101 🧵

I'm becoming more and more convinced you can get away with awful art but not awful mechanics. This game (even the capsule art!) looks like bad 90s shareware, yet it's doing the numbers 😏 store.steampowered.com/app/3191030/...

No thanks

Just released a greatly improved version of our #7drl #deckbuilder Rogue Monster: Theolodorus. Big changes in balance, UX and sound effects. And there's also a new amazing cover art, straight from the 90s made by friend Simernio! Full info and download at blog.slashie.net/2025/03/14/r...

Patched my 7DRL. It's much better! I designed this game with mobile in mind and it seems to work. jere.itch.io/holy-book/de...
