Moving on to scenarios now (my "?" rooms). For a feature I wasn't sure I even wanted, this is turning out to be more work than anticipated #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames #videogames #roguelike #roguelite #autobattler #steam #screenshotsaturday
A slay the spire like interface can be seen, with a scene in a small square window in the middle of the screen. In it, a hacker, an arms dealer, and a rainbow stick man holding mushrooms approach in an alley, the mushroom man saying, "If our gangs joined forces, we'd be unstoppable. What do you say?" the three response options say "Sure, we'll take you in." "You can join... Just you" and "Nope."

Kind of unfortunate, I started another round of training for the tic-tac-SHOOT computer opponents, and I've found evidence that the game might be solvable. Probably won't bother with another big update if this is the case

Playing Into The Breach reminding me how important flavor is. I feel like it gets overlooked a lot cuz it doesn't impact gameplay, but I mean, neither does music.

The StS 2 balancing drama reminds me how when artists succeed hard enough to escape their niche's audience, they tend to develop awful fan bases. Yes success is nice, but man I never, ever want to have to deal with the level of entitlement that my "fans" rage over routine balancing in BETA

A grid covered in flames, with several stick figures maniacally spreading fire. Some other stick figures hold their hands in the air, crying.A grid filled with various stick figures holding guns. UI indicators are visible such as a small red arrow pointing from one character to an exclamation mark, perhaps indicating some effect will happen.A group of stick figures with knives, guns, and muscle, gang up, attacking a boss on the right side of the screen.A group of green stick figures wearing rasta hats and holding blunts in each hand congregate in the middle of a grid. Clouds of acid green smoke persist on the tiles around them.
