Nothing here is new. That’s the scary part. Arcana didn’t add broken combos, it revealed them. Watch the score system completely collapse. Ruina: Arcana Unleashed coming June 15 #indiegames #Roguelite #GameDev #BrokenBuild #GameBreaking #IndieDev #match3 #puzzlegame #scoreattack

The Ruina demo has been updated! All content, balance changes, and quality of life improvements from previous updates are now included, and for the first time, players can play full runs from start to finish. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #puzzlegame #scoreattack

Legendary Color Change Scrolls can transform the way your build functions. Scrolls like Pink make Red Gems count as White Gems, opening up huge matches for big scoring opportunities. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #puzzlegame #scoreattack

Arcana doesn't replace Gem Enhancements - it stacks with them. That means a Gem can be both Enhanced and Arcane at the same time, combining powerful effects and creating even more opportunities for ridiculous score multipliers. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #shorts

Collecting multiple Scrolls from the same Set unlocks powerful compounding bonuses. Arcana Unleashed has more Sets, more synergies, and more ways to break the scoring system. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #scoreattack #puzzlegame

Arcana Unleashed is coming to Ruina on June 15! Discover Arcana, a powerful new scoring layer that appears on both Gems and Scrolls, creating more game breaking combos and massive multipliers. store.steampowered.com/app/3964490/... #IndieGame #Roguelite #PuzzleGame #Deckbuilder

Replay scroll rescores every gem in the matched set. Clone scroll has a chance to repeat your first scroll. When they stack together, the system starts spiraling out of control fast. #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #indiedev #deckbuilder #gaming #puzzlegame #scoreattack

Not a huge number by industry standards, but today Ruina crossed 100 total units sold. When I released the game, my goal for Year 1 was simply to reach 100 sales. Hitting that milestone honestly means a lot to me. Huge thanks to everyone who played, wishlisted, or told a friend!

Now you can speed up gameplay animations and push massive combo builds without waiting forever for everything to resolve. Which is important… because some of the new Arcana combinations are getting completely absurd. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #puzzlegame

The Ruina demo is getting completely overhauled with new content on June 5th, quality of life improvements, updated balance changes, and full playable runs. If you’ve played the demo before it’s worth jumping back in. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #gaming #demo #puzzlegame

Hoarder scales your score based on how much Gold you have and the new Hallowed Arcana floods you with Gold. The synergy creates some absolutely absurd multiplier scaling. Arcana is coming in Ruina’s June update. #indiegame #roguelite #deckbuilder #indiedev #puzzlegame

The upcoming June update for Ruina introduces Arcana, powerful new bonuses for Gems and Scrolls that open up even more ways to scale builds into complete chaos. More reveals coming soon. #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #deckbuilder #indiedev #puzzlegame #games

The synergy between the Blue Scroll and Patron Boon gets out of hand fast. I wonder what additional pieces we can add to this strategy in the next update? Still balancing. Probably. #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiedev #gaming

A light post on my June update is on the Steam Page. There's a few teaser images of what's coming too! store.steampowered.com/app/3964490/... #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame #gaming

The new scoring bonuses coming in Ruina’s June update are creating some genuinely terrifying build combinations already. Every time I think the system is balanced, another run completely breaks the game again. #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame #gaming

The Connoisseur Scroll changes how you play and scales to crazy heights. One of my favorite parts of designing Ruina is watching simple mechanics spiral into completely broken combinations More updates and new systems are coming in June #indiegame #roguelite #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiedev #gaming

The upcoming June update for Ruina adds a new upgrade layer to scrolls and gems, creating even more ways to scale runs into complete chaos. Still balancing everything, but some of the new combinations are already getting completely out of hand. #indiegame #roguelite #puzzlegame #indiedev #gaming

Deep in balancing for the upcoming Ruina update. Creating stronger highroll moments and more build variety without completely destroying the game's progression curve has been... difficult. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelite #indiedev #gaming #puzzlegame

Small Ruina patch is live today. Balance updates and a bug fix for the Restraint Scroll multiplier display issue. Also working on a much bigger June update right now 👀 #indiedev #Ruina #puzzlegame #indiegames

Mobile version when? #solodev #godot #Ruina #puzzle #indiegames

oooh we're getting close. I just published a new/final demo for Ruina. Just playing it a bunch over the weekend to do any last minute balancing. Nothing like the days leading up to launch! #solodev #indiedev #indiegames

Chain your way to victory (or ruin). 💥 Ruina, the roguelike match-3, hits Steam Nov 18! Wishlist now — your next match might be your last. store.steampowered.com/app/3964490/... #videogames #announcement #indiegames #solodev

Related to my prior post about realizing I can do Challenges with the setup I made for the Tutorial... There's an update brewing for the Ruina Demo. Hopefully I can get it tested this afternoon and shipped. Stay Tuned! #indiedev #indiegames #match3 #nextfest

Just pushed one of the silliest fixes. I fat-fingered my blue color and so it defaulted to a less vibrant blue. Solo-developing is rough without anyone to code review: #solodev #indiedev

While thinking about how to make a tutorial for Ruina, I may have just come up with a great idea. To make the Tutorial I need a set piece to walk the player through. I can use that concept to make a series of challenges to figure out! #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Twas the week before Next Fest and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a... OH GOD WHAT IS THAT #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Hey! I put up a demo in preparation for Next Fest. You don't have to wait until Next Fest to try it. You could try it now. Just sayin' #indiedev #solodev #indiegames #match3 store.steampowered.com/app/3964490/...

Doing some last minute animation improvements on Ruina before Next Fest. Starting to feel a little more alive. #indiedev #solodev #indiegames #match3

That dopamine hit everytime the steam wishlist metrics update. So good. Speaking of - go wishlist Ruina #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #match3

Silksong took down Steam's payments!? Maybe I should finally get around to playing Hollow Knight. #indiegames #indiedev

Alright reveal time! Ruina is a match 3 rogue-lite game inspired by Balatro. Transform your bag of gems throughout your run and beat the score. A Demo will be available during Next Fest in October so please wishlist now! #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #match3 store.steampowered.com/app/3964490/...

Just cut a reveal trailer for my next game. Feels weird to be this far along again. Can't wait for the public at large to get a glimpse of it! #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Looking back at my timeline for Space Duck last year, I'm basically right on track again. The difference this time is the actual game is way more polished. Maybe I am actually learning something. Reveal Trailer coming after Silksong launch 😅 #indiegames #solodev #indiedev

This gif shows months of revision and iteration. What changes catch your eye? #indiedev #indiegames #match3 #roguelite #combo

Sketches first. Combos later. This is where it all started... #indiegames #indiedev

Its been a while. Are people still out here making and playing indie games? I've got a teaser in the works and a lot of progress to share next week. #solodev #indiegames

It'll cost you $0 to RT our game and maybe give us a follow. It may even make our day, doesn't that sound nice? 😂 #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作 #ドット絵 #ゲーム開発 #픽셀아트

I'm late here but good luck to all my fellow #indiedev folks on Next Fest this week. If you've got something fun to share feel free to post it below! #indiegames #videogames #solodev

There is no better feeling than designing a rework to some old short sighted code, implementing it, and having it mostly work like a charm on the first pass. Related news. My game idea for 2025 is coming along nicely. Consider this an announcement of an announcement. #solodev #indiedev #indiegames

I've noticed about 10% of my "sales" on Steam get returned without ever being downloaded. Not really any downside for me that I can tell, but what do people gain from this? #indiedev #gamedev #solodev
