Obsessed with these (Bryce?) renders from Total Annihilation

Absolutely crucial drpg mechanic: the one-way door

I still come across a few artifacts of the old drpg now and then, like this switch model. It reminds me of that game and makes me excited to get back to it once this one is done. The theme of that one will be very different but mechanically it will build on what I'm currently making

Using my map -> 3d space conversion tool to overwrite an existing map gives me these amazingly haunted corporate nightmare spaces to explore

Less Pixels, More Texture.

I think I've implemented all that's needed to build the maps I've drawn so far. I have 6 floors, up to a first boss. Looking forward to building this out and playtesting

I'm continuously glad I decided to pause my bigger drpg project and make this smaller one first so I can get the basics down, because even just the basics are so much effort

recorded a Windows 95 full disk defrag to soothe your timeline.

Do you ever quickly throw together a placeholder, take one look at it in game and sigh because you realize it's probably going to be final? Just did that with this item pickup thing

Escape from Terror City is 60% off this week on Steam! Old-School 3D Run'n'Gun! store.steampowered.com/app/1524020/...

This week was a write-off for game dev but it’s only made me more determined to finish this game

Tonight, Ottawa!!

When this soundtrack is done I’ll be selling several pieces of hardware that I don’t use. As much as I like hardware, I’m settling into an efficient and satisfying computer-based workflow that doesn’t call for as much gear as I have

Listening to boss battle bgm drafts for the first time in a weeks. The drafts I thought were so-so sound really promising to me now. Looking forward to finalizing them. Overall this soundtrack is going to be very strong imo

I think I'm going to have to go with the weird placeholder title for this dungeon crawler because I don't have any better ideas

John Harris' 80s art for the ZX81 manual in 1981 and the ZX Spectrum Basic Programming book the following year. Bold Brutalism inspired shapes and exotic floating mountain cities. Used these contrasting colour schemes myself recently too. Absolutely iconic.

I've seen lots of interest in switching from windows to linux recently, so fwiw the distribution I've been using for the past few years is KDE Neon. I find its Plasma environment to be stable and customizable without being too complex. It's pretty similar to windows too neon.kde.org

It’s good to have sumo back on the tv. Great first day, looking forward to the rest of the basho

Another attempt at making an animation upload possibly a bit less compressed than before. 2023, 8 colors, pixelart

I’m at a very satisfying point in the drpg’s development where the two most pressing tasks are drawing maps and writing music. This isn’t the end of difficulties by a long shot, but I’m savouring this moment where the priority is design and creation, not coding or bug fixing

Wow!! Angeline Era received grand prize and design noms for the Independent Games Festival, plus a shout-out for audio 🏆 Very honored for the recognition!! Congrats to co-dev @even-kei.bsky.social !! How about... beginning your bumpslash journey today?? store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

I'd like to remake Eye of Ra one day. Not to change much content, just to make a more stable version. I'm still proud of this one despite the bugs bearcabin.itch.io/eye-of-ra

Time to get back to it. I'm aiming to release the drpg this year

I watched so much computer chronicles after discovering it early this year. RIP Stewart

holy fuck what an intro

Last Armageddon | PC-88

Got the english patch of Lunatic dawn: passage of the book up and running. I adore this UI

Holiday break has begun. No game development, just family time, baking, strong drinks, and Shiren the wanderer: The mystery dungeon of serpentcoil island. See you in 2026

My drpg is built with godot 3.6 but I'm feeling the need to start all new experiments and ideas in 4.x so I can eventually move to that version full time. That may not be for a while tho because I have at least 1 more drpg to make based on the results of this current 3.6 project

Working on a simple clock and moon system while I think through a sim-heavy crpg idea that's been percolating in my mind

Put me on the discover feed. I can take it. Put me in, coach

#TeaseYaGame - Get out if you can.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: wasn't feeling well the last few days, but now I feel like I can make good progress. Been working on a buried library somewhere in the desert... So here's just a little WIP video clip showing how it's looking so far... Anyway, I will be finishing this game!🙂

A lot can be conveyed with just a representative tile and some text

I started this side project earlier this year but haven't touched it in months. Over the holidays I might take a break from the cyber drpg to fiddle with this

Introducing the Voonith, a large and terrible amphibian that inhabits some of the lakes and rivers of the Dreamlands. Cyclopean II will have a bunch of new creatures and this the first new one I am adding... #Lovecraft #Dreamlands #CRPG

LESS THAN FOUR HOURS AWAY FOLKS DON'T MISS IT

Should be able to do some bgm work next week, which will be a nice change of pace. Hoping to get the boss theme nailed down

I needed some sfx for equipping expansion ROMs so I recorded myself inserting and ejecting this minidisc

my full custom shmup level editor for the backstage enjoyers

it's fun to encounter parts of the older game this one is built on. like stumbling upon an ancient relic

This bug scared me so badly I jumped 💀 I re-enabled old code for spike traps to see if it still worked. And it does... sort of. lol
