The game is just one week away from its first public appearance since 2015. When you think of the original release, what's the first thing that springs to mind?

100% accurate: we love all Rogueli*es here. But also, I doubt you'd find a single opinion that 100 Rogues is anything other than a #Roguelike 💅

Co-star succinctly summarizing #roguelike design in 4 words

Gamepad support moved a lot slower than anticipated, missing the opportunity to post Screenshot Saturday. So, uh... #MenuMonday ? Our artist continues crunching cutscenes, but I was able to make a few simple changes that make the main menu look leagues better. Before / after. Feedback welcome!

Still 8 months from release and we've already got our first review. It's accurate!

Same great logo, now in Vector format and ready to print for t-shirts, banners, posters, ancient runes, skywriting, side shaves, etc.

My slightly more complete thoughts about difficulty, as the game's programmer For emphasis, I am staying in my lane and guaranteeing the designer's original balance is pristine and uncompromised on Normal Mode. But, Easy mode? That's for me www.100-rogues.com/dev-blog/reg...

100 Rogues will be making it's first public appearance since 2015 here! Hope to see some of you there!

I'm honored to be part of a truly stacked lineup of #indiedev #roguelike and #roguelite gems via @humblebundle.com! If you're remotely interested in the genre, this is amazing value for money! 👀 👉 www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-...

I'm updating our Difficulty Select buttons to more accurately reflect the experience of playing on Easy Mode. What are your thoughts on Difficulty? How much should 100 Rogues ask of casual players before seeing the credits roll?

Having kicked off our first promo weekend at Dragon Con, the game is looking ahead for more opportunities to be showcased. If you're in the Rochester Area, we'll be at Roc Games Fest, hosted by RIT Magic, on September 27 from 11-5 PM. Just submitted the application to MAG Fest! Fingers crossed!

Once per con, the crusader may cast Healing to recharge and continue exploring the con until 3:30am.

"He bows before the High Council, and asks for a quest fit for the best Crusader in the world!"

The pious Crusader kept giving his expendable income to God, and could not afford a full set of adventuring gear. #dragoncon #dragoncon2025 #cosplay

If you see me at dragon Con, come say hi!!! God is my best bro but I'll always make time for our players! #DragonCon #Dragoncon2025 #roguelike

I'm at Dragon Con in Atlanta this weekend! Keep an eye out for the Crusader! I'll be debuting my 'costume' at Bunny Hutch tonight. #dragoncon #roguelike

Against all odds, there is a new version of 100 Rogues coming to Steam :O I am very hype to have my first released game be playable again!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3763720/... #roguelikes

Announcing: 100 Rogues! Check out our trailer and please consider wishlisting our game! store.steampowered.com/app/3763720/... #roguelike #indiegames #gamedev #rpg #dungeoncrawler

The announcement trailer is mere hours away!

Last, but absolutely not least, The Skellyman Scoundrel. Her partner in crime and in life stabbed her in the Parietal... only to find the wound wasn't so... PARI-FATAL! :O Now she's on a quest for revenge, leaping over her foes and scoring massive crits with backstabs! #indiegames #roguelike #RPG

It's amazing what I'm learning about Steam bots. With no effort from me, I now see: GameFAQs added release information on the game without my needing to (yay) Seedy scalper adjacent site is already selling game keys (boo)

Completely missed my window to add this in context. Pun intended.

Today's reveal: The Crusader! Why does one go on a Crusade? Did they hit 40 and realize they weren't doing anything with their life anyway? Are they insecure that God won't love them back? Did someone on a forum say they were a fake fan? Each Crusader is unique! #roguelike #indiegame #roguelite

Next: The Dinoman Bruiser! Their movement abilities, Charge and Throw, move targets around the battlefield. If a target is cornered, it's an instant 1-hit-kill! Those muscles require food, though, and while the Bruiser can eat anything, his skills cost belly! #indiegames #roguelike #gamedev #rpg

Btw, I've decided this is a countdown now. Over the next week I will reveal the new designs for the remaining 3 core player classes. And then! The Steam page will go live with our NEW. TRAILER.

I am DELIGHTED to reintroduce our first player class: The Fairy Wizard! Blake has worked super hard this month to evolve this devastating crystal kludger into a proper Fae fatale. More to come, soon! #roguelike #roguelite #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #RPG #traditionalroguelike

New Item Alert! Dragon Armor! The Crusader can equip this awesome, extremely powerful armor... for a time. This is the first item to make use of a new Durability system, and our game's first Magical Girl transformation. Watch that burn when it finally breaks!

Dragon Con Checklist: Crusader Helmet: Printing Novelty Boxer Shorts: Ordered Business Cards: Sent to printers 16 days until we go live, folks!

It's hard to nail down things like "feature complete" and "entering beta" when I fully plan to add more content as certain stability and marketing milestones are reached. I'm sending a build to an editor to make a trailer this week. The look and playability of our game is finalized enough for that.

It's hard to pin down milestones like alpha/beta, feature complete, etc.. But I look at my board and see not a single new thing to implement. Commence 6-8 months of debugging and polish!

Happy Birthday Samus! #Metroid #Samus

Buttresses (3d models our artist made to reference for the new title screen)

Blake is well underway rebuilding our intro cutscene in proper 16:9 HD to look great on PC. Here's the Skellyman's quest for murder in the original iOS assets. Let's take one last look before we see the updated designs later this month! #roguelike #indiegames #roguelite #100Rogues

Check out our new feature!!! Hate cardio? Skip the stairs! Get to the lower levels in style and pick up a magic item at the bottom... if you live... Absolute banger of a new track composed by @erlking.bsky.social #indiegames #indiedev #roguelike #screenshotsaturday #traditionalroguelike #strategy

August is illustration month! The original artist, Blake Reynolds, is starting a month-long crunch to rebuild all Title and Cutscene art from scratch for PC resolution. Check back through the month to see all 4 updated character designs as they are finalized!

Blogging about a new upcoming feature soon! Hint: where we're going, we don't need stairs... Stay tuned next week!

Finished a massive QoL improvement today. Throwing items is critical to optimal play, but picking items from the inventory each turn was always massively cumbersome. There is now a dedicated slot for thrown items, and a dedicated "Throw the item in that slot" button.

100 Rogues is 15 years old. Games that were 15 years old game when it began production: Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Super Street Fighter 2, Final Fantasy VI, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. We've gone from Retro-Inspired to just plain retro 🤯

What distinguishes us from other roguelikes is the nuance to player class abilities. Here we see the Crusader's Holy Fires scales damage the more targets it hits. His play style is risky, but don't worry! God's help has a 4% chance to proc and save you if you're in over your head!

All 50+ enemies and 3 boss fights from the original release are back online, ready to prevent me from ever progressing past Easy mode. And I am happy to announce one more brand new enemy type is coming! I received their first two animations yesterday.

Art meeting was extremely exciting! New! Designs! Incoming! Next! Month!

Fans of the game from fifteen years ago: I am nearing the end of remaking stuff you remember. Budget permitting, new stuff is in the works! I am meeting with the original artist today and have been talking to others who can meet the high bar we've set for roguelikes. Very excited to share more

He does understand what "any" means, right? #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #rogue

How cool would it be to see 100 Rogues' worlds brought into 3d space?

An important challenge with this port will be finding the right balance between: - not changing the original viable strategies - adding tons of exciting new content that you rarely encounter

The Golden Genie of the Bandit Hole can grant you any thing you desire* *I hope you like beetles

My Belly stat, currently

I wonder if the Dark Pope and Satan would have been friends. Shame.

Giant Bomb counts 11 games where the final boss is the pope.

Is this thing on?
