Expect a blog post about progress toward Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0 the next week or so, but first here's a little teaser. A bunch of improvements are coming to environment visuals, including to the upcoming vault quest before it even releases! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Here's two more new/returning enchantments coming in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update! Eldritch has a chance to fear visible enemies other than your target. Crystal ALWAYS deals +25% magic damage but will crack and break if used too heavily. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

The Call for Proposals for Roguelike Celebration 2026 is OPEN! We're looking for speakers to deliver cool talks about procedural content, roguelike game design, generative art, and more! Roguelike Celebration is a virtual conference, no physical attendance required. Check it out and tell a friend!

I'm also planning to add four new weapon enchantments and two new weapon curses in the next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon! Here's two: venemous can stack up a lot of DOT but on a delay, and vorpal can replace regular damage with a bleed effect. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Here's a QOL life tweak that's coming in the next ShatteredPD update. Health bars will indicate the amount of incoming DOT by partly darkening. There are some other additions that will benefit from the player seeing total DOT at a glance. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I want enemy designs in ShatteredPD's upcoming quest to be based in the existing dungeon regions, which gives me a chance to bring back and old enemy that was removed just about 6 years ago, the inexplicably bearded dwarven skeleton! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Update:

I see what you did there @shatteredpixel.com

Here's a room for ShatteredPD's upcoming quest that I didn't share in the recent blog. The waves of lasers can be dodged with good movement, but a harder variant of the room could turn the beam speed up and require a consumable to get past. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Hey Rat Punchers! I've just released one tiny final patch for Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3, mainly just a little internal cleanup and fixes for a couple minor bugs. I'll hopefully be starting up on sharing more incremental updates about the next major update here soon! #gamedev #indiedev

Hey folks! I've been busy with expanding the tester area for Shattered Pixel Dungeon's new quest in patches to v3.3. In this blog post I'm going over all of the things I've added, and how I think they're going to fit together into a new quest! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #gamedev #indiedev

Hey folks, I'm just now releasing Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3.6! There are now a variety of implemented hazards in the new quest tester area, although they aren't currently harmful and I still need to work on more rooms types for them to appear in. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I've just patched Shattered Pixel Dungeon to v3.3.5! In addition to some smaller misc. changes, some enemies have been added to the tester area for the upcoming quest! They mainly exist to test out new enemy AI logic that's meant to better facilitate stealth gameplay. #gamedev #indiedev

The upcoming quest in Shattered Pixel Dungeon involves a more stealth than normal, and so enemy AI needs some tweaks to accommodate that. 'Investigating' is a new AI state that gives you just a little more time to duck away behind a corner or door. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey folks, I've just released Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3.4! It's another small patch as I continue to make incremental improvements to the tester area for the new quest, plus fix a few bugs and make a few small other changes. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

✨Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2026✨ Hey Rat Punchers, Happy New Year! This post starts with a year in review, and then lists the major changes and additions that I have planned for Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2026 and beyond! Read the full blog post here: shatteredpixel.com/blog/shatter...

Happy New Year Everyone, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.3.2! I've made some progress over the holidays on the new quest tester area. It's now entirely generated by the game's levelgen system, whereas the previous iteration was mostly hardcoded. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.3.1! Nothing really exciting to note with this patch, it's just some bugfixes to various reports I've received since v3.3.0 launched about a week ago. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3.0 has been released! v3.3 includes a tester area for the upcoming overhaul to the city quest, new items, and a bunch of smaller tweaks and improvements. shatteredpixel.com/blog/shatter...

Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3 is in beta right now, and it includes the game's first new artifact in a very long time! The Skeleton Key can be used to open almost any lock, lock doors that weren't previously locked, and create temporary magical walls! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Hey Dungeoneers, it’s been a couple of months since the last patch for v3.2, so it’s time to an update! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-...

Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3 is very close to beta, but for now here's a new trinket! The cracked spyglass adds more items to a level, but they're pretty hard to see! There are at least 2 items in each scene in the GIF below, can you spot them all? #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

It's been a common request, so starting in Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3 you'll have an option to pick a randomized hero, challenges (you choose how many), talents, subclass, and armor ability! There's even a new badge for winning a purely random run! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

In Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3 the Ambitious Imp will spawn in his own dedicated room with a large pit leading to a dwarven vault. The vault is magically sealed, but that won't completely stop you from being able to teleport in... #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Sorry for being so quiet over the last month! The new quest is sadly still a little ways off, but Shattered v3.3 should be ready in a couple of weeks with a 'tester area' for the new quest, plus some smaller additions and fixes. Expect more posts about it in the coming weeks! #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.2.5, with a couple more small interface improvements and a bunch of little fixes. This should hopefully be the final patch for v3.2 as I move on to early work on the next update! #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.2.4! This is hopefully the last patch with major technical improvements following v3.2, but it's a doozy. It includes mobile layout improvements and a new title screen background! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Hey Dungeoneers, I'm still releasing patches for v3.2, and as a rare surprise, this one's big enough to get a blog post! In this blog post I'm going to go over what I've been doing in v3.2's patches, and what's coming in v3.2.4 in particular! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.2.3, with more tech improvements and modernizations for mobile users! Most notably, Shattered now supports true edge-to-edge fullscreen on most game interfaces, with one more to come in a future patch. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.2.2! This patch is mostly focused on technical improvements on Android and iOS. There'll be more patches later, in particular I want to improve support for phones with smaller display cutouts like hole punches. #gamedev #indiedev

The first patch for Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.2 just released! v3.2.1 focuses on some bug fixes and balance improvements following the release of v3.2.0. There'll be more patches to come, which will include some technical improvements. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.2.0 has been released! v3.2 comes with a major overhaul to thrown weapons, balance changes to some subclasses, and a major QoL change to accuracy/evasion effects. shatteredpixel.com/blog/shatter... #gamedev #indiedev

alice the cleric in shattered pixel dungeon has this really cool design with a spellbook attached to a chain on the belt and I want to draw it

Hey Dungeoneers! Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.2 has just gone to beta, with an overhaul to thrown weapons and some other substantial balance and QoL changes! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #indiedev #gamedev

The last Shattered Pixel Dungeon update included a little green bow icon for when the Ferret Tuft was the reason an attack missed. I'm now extending that system to all accuracy and evasion effects! This should make their impact much more visible. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

The next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon will feature an overhaul to thrown weapons! They will now work in sets of three, which can be upgraded as a unit. This means lots of weapon properties will apply to them, including enchantments! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Hey folks, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.1.1 released a few days ago, containing a few followup tweaks to v3.1.0. The most notable changes are some visual tweaks to the Warrior's splash art in response to feedback, and some performance improvements for users on modern iPhones.

Thanks for the interview @shatteredpixel.com !! Keep up the great work ;) #DevInterview #ShatterPixelDungeon #IndieGames minimap.net/magazine/Sha...

Hey Dungeoneers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.1.0 has been released! v3.1 includes a mini Warrior Rework, new terrain/rooms, a new trinket, and a bunch of other smaller changes and additions! shatteredpixel.com/blog/shatter...

Excited to share a few designs with a fresh new aesthetic! 1/3 Full project here: www.artstation.com/artwork/4Nz6yl #design #hardsurfacemodeling #blender #plasticity

There's going to be one more new thing in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update: new splash art for the Warrior! As usual the art is by @azsumak.bsky.social. Unfortunately things are also a little delayed, so expect another beta patch soon and a release in very early June. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Dungeoneers, v3.1 is ready for beta! In this blog post I’m going to go over what’s coming in v3.1! This update has a a mini Warrior rework, some new rooms in the dungeon, a new trinket, and an assortment of other changes and additions. shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-...

Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.1 is going to be ready for beta this coming week hopefully! The update will include two new rare enemies, one of which is the gnoll exile. Exiles won't pick a fight with you, but maybe you'll want to anyway for extra loot. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

The next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update will have a new trinket! The Ferret Tuft universally boosts evasion, but there are lots of ways to counter enemy evasion, go for those surprise attacks! It's a little reference to a favorite ferret. 🍋‍🟩 #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #laimuart

Here's another smaller change coming in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update. Each region is getting room changes and a new object to enhance variety. The sewers is getting storage barrels, which you can see here with some very unfinished visuals. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

The next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update has variety of smaller changes, including four new badges to earn! Each is a specific challenge, ranging from using the environment to defeat enemies, to surviving the ascent without killing any enemies. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart
