it's interesting how easily identifiable AI/crypto posts are, even with no mention of AI or crypto by name. Always some vaguely positive combination of numbers, acronyms, and tech buzzwords like "hyped for the BTL-5.5 update! Using this with Gribby-0.9 will really streamline my content pipeline"

Is there anything to the idea that metroidvanias and roguelikes - 2 of the biggest genres in indie games - seem to be shifting in radically opposing directions?

I feel like we need a different feedback outlet for steam players, because 99% of negative reviews I see boil down to "the game was too hard for me, here are eight paragraphs on why that's an objective failing." Maybe keep the thumbs up, thumbs down, and add a third "too hard" option?

Hello! I'm looking to turn my small "metroidbrainia" into a larger zelda-style open world game, and I'm seeking funding! If you are/know of a publisher looking to support a game about gaining powers by making tetris shapes in the world map, please reach out!

's Tomb of the Bloodletter. A recommendation from me unless you hate learning words. One of the better things I've played this year and comes very close to being right at the top of the pile.

Psientologist's review of Tomb of the Bloodletter | Backloggd
Roguelikes are a genre that has completely dominated modern gaming and is one that can be Marmite for many, you either love them or you hate them. It’s a genre so large that it isn’t just taking over ...

Finally completed a run on Tomb of the Bloodletter. If you like word games and roguelikes it's a great time. Not a perfect game but (was) under a fiver (I think it's maybe £6 now), has lots of replayability and gets your brain working. Having a good vocabulary helps but there's still tricks to it.

In my games, when players press pause I actually increase the speed at which they experience reality by around 4,000%, thus making the game appear frozen!

The DLSS 5 thing is kind of interesting, because big-budget games have been blindly striving for gratuitous realism for decades now. I feel like there's partial responsibility on AAA studios for instilling (or at the very least failing to push against) that "most real" = "most good"

Might as well throw my game into the ring! Tomb of the Bloodletter is a word game roguelike that strays very intentionally from the Balatro formula! It's got 75 reviews but I'd love to see that number go up!

#10: Tomb of the Bloodletter is a really cute little roguelite/word game hybrid that has you assembling words to attack your opponents. You have a set of magicks assigned to letters with effects that deal damage or heal based on vowels, uncommon letters, length of the word, etc. Really fun idea.
