I'm so grateful that as a solo dev I made a game people are sinking serious hours into. Most reviews are 40h+ and still climbing. And damn, 100% positive reviews too. I think I did it, mates. And if I did, you can do it too. Gambare! ✊ store.steampowered.com/app/2586000 #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Was this a good idea? Certainly not. But I would do it again. #roguelike #turnbased #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #rpg #pcgames

Not really a Balrog...whatever....You shall not pass! #scaledeep #roguelike #turnbased #indiegame #pixelart #dungeoncrawler #fantasy #rpg #indiedev #gamedev

The Update 0.9 "The Meat Cage" added full controller support! But it's not the last version and we'll be improving it according to players' feedback. #ScreenshotSaturday #roguelike #turnbased #gamedev

Barely made it to the bottom of the dungeon (level 3)... Everyone's gone. Only Brolgar the warrior stands, bloodied, breathing heavy, but unbroken. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #indiegame️ #RPG #roguelike

Militia vs Undead: Procedural Edition! Here are 4 procgen levels that instantiate this quest/event, where the configuration changes are just the "map type" and the "event area type" #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

After the humans-vs-undead fight with the lich, you find a journal note talking about a phylactery! Let's go to Bone Hollow to destroy that phylactery before the lich rises again. But first, we must find the exit to the level, which proves to be no small feat... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Militia is off fighting the undead at the ruins - you must help them! Example of a procedural group fight setup, hooked to a relevant quest #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Been working too much and being responsible, so I've doodled this while I've recovered from sickness/obligations. It's my #character for #D&D #pixelart #OC #druid #moonstaff #rpg #tabletop

Have a big soft spot for old Amiga pixel art - some nice presentation touches on this site. There's rarities, WIPs, animations, logos & load screens. When you're in a gallery you can see the limited colour palette used on mouse hover - it's cool. #amiga #pixelart #art

Deep in the forest. #pixelart

Nothing like a bit of user interface design to see some encouragement from the driver! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gameMaker #pixel #pixelart #gamedev #userInterface

And here we have a mini guessing game for identification of potions. There are negative potions as well, luckily we can't go wrong with this one :) #screenshotsaturday #roguelike #rpg #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #turnbased

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

New intro post since I'm at GDC (!!) -- my name is James and I'm a UI designer by day and a pixel artist by night. I have a particular love of 8- and 16-bit art, Zelda, and dark/medieval fantasy. #pixelart #pixelartist #aseprite #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

Quests and Dungeons: late and latest blog post, in 2-in-1 goodness :) byte-arcane.github.i... #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Procedurally assigning bosses/treasure to a variety of ... procedural prefabs, e.g. altars, lean-tos, ruins, and cabins here. This means quests like "kill big baddie" become very flexible in terms of where the baddie is. Could be bandit, beasts, liches, dragons, etc. #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

For those interested in having a peek behind the scenes at the composing process for an awesome Indie cosy game, I made a short video talking about work so far on the @ratmode.games Soggy Beans soundtrack @ratmode.gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIXJHXkvQU&ab_channel=FinnPaul
