campfire in the desert vibes

The particle system has been a lot of work, it's finally in an acceptable spot. I decided to make particles 1/2 size and use the text glyphs. The full sized glyphs were just too chonky, especially for bullet trails

the dynamic lighting is starting to come along really nicely. I'm hoping these are still readable while giving a good ambiance #bevy #gamedev #roguelikedev

i've made many of the UI elements actually clickable now. Ideally it can be played fully with a mouse

I'm very happy with the basic zone generation now. Getting rivers and roads to work was challenging, but it's very satisfying to discover them. I should probably shelve the generation for now and start work on the dreaded inventory system #roguelikedev #bevy #gamedev

an underground river

Feeling better about road generation

i use claude because of the fonts

bevy is such a joy to work in. everything feels easy and intuitive. i really like how it’s bundled in separate packages, i can easily browse the source code, the documentation is immense, and the community is always so helpful

Experimenting with more cool text effects for the cowboy roguelike/qudlike

This seems to be working as an official Bay 12 Games account. Just released version 51.08 of Dwarf Fortress.

Some sprites inspired by Qud #roguelikedev

Starting to add ui/boxes. I've also added an alternate font that is 8x24px for the title. I think i can use it sparingly, like when you discover a new location.

[thinking of something one million people have thought of before] nobodys ever thought of this

💄 I know it's excessive, but i've just added the ability to do cool text colors like Caves of Qud. The colors and font definitely needs some work. With the game having so much text, this really helps a lot. Do i add some subtle text animations?

I'm trying to decide if this half-sized font looks OK or out of place. the sprites are 16x24, and the text is 8x12. Everything is scaled up 2x #roguelike #gamedev

Today we continue our look at the best game engines and frameworks by programming language in 2025. Today we focus on the excellent Haxe programming language. If I missed an engine or framework, let me know! gamefromscratch.com/haxe-game-en... #gamedev #indiedev #haxe

Revisiting chunk generation in my #roguelike. The rivers and footpaths are sort of working. Rivers can still make non-sensical loops, but that can be fixed. I'd like to make some rivers wider, and give them a direction. Thank you @lorenschmidt.bsky.social for all the advice! #gamedev #roguelike

Day 2 of #BrackeysGameJam 2025.1! I didn't have as much time to work on it today, but things are forming. Got some simple audio. Made some more design decisions. And the part I'm most excited about, I started building out some of the lore/puzzle! Mini-games tomorrow maybe? #gamedev #indiedev

From desert to mountain #roguelike #gamedev

We probably all need to become more blatantly anti-Silicon Valley. Give me less innovation, and more soul. New technology doesn’t mean infinite progress especially without being grounded in what it means to be human.

shader debugging vibes 🕶️ #gamedev

i wanted them to be a little gnarly, they're supposed to be dirt roads + subject to things like someone pulling a wagon over in the rain, etc.. this is a good example because initial input is a bit raw! too clean in some places, very noisy in others.

Debugging shaders can produce some cool images #heaps #haxe #gamedev

someone help I can't stop making roguelikes #gamedev

The Apocalypse. #pixelart #adventuregame

no, i don't know that one! thank you. this map is great.

Had lot of fun working on this cover art for Co-op Catacombs, an amazing asynchronously multiplayer #roguelike. I've been a big fan of the game since the 7DRL version, so I jumped at the chance when AikonCWD approached me. Play it on itch: aikoncwd.itch.io/coop-catacombs #pixelart

As I return to #gamedev this week I felt it important to stay current with emerging roguelike trends and added playable sentient doors

i fucking love making video games man. every time i sit down at my computer i'm like Hell Yeah let's do this

Finally added some fog of war #gamedev
