Yeah writing them, and making the assets. I wanna have 50ish, so that's probably at least 20 backdrops, a lot of writing even if they're short, and quite a few unique rewards that need to be interesting build-wise

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."

Hmm, it'd be hard to convince me, there's rlly no downside to handheld PCs now, and a huge premium for console They'd need to release an exclusive that looks so amazing I'd buy the console just for that. It'd have to be my dream game, like Spore 2 or something lol

godot seems to have a lot of qol features like that, I think it's still rough in some places, but it's not surprising it's gotten so big with indies of late

but I thought increasing the amount of possible board states through things like rotation could make up for that. It seems like the amount of viable positions may be less than I thought

It was always a possibility, and one of my main reasons for training; the 3x3 grid puts the game at a big disadvantage in terms of emergent complexity-

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

Yes, Starwars is a mythology that people are simply banned from exploring. Imagine if Homer couldnt write down the Odyssey cuz Sirens were copyrighted. Lucas shouldnt hold a monopoly on ideas that pervaded the whole world. He got his credit, hes living well, he doesnt get to own all of culture too

Because no one invents ideas in a vacuum, the entire history of art has been derivative. Copyright needs to exist to protect the livelihoods of creators under our current broken system, but inherently, it is anti art and anti human to say "I had this thought first so I own it now."

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.

I wouldn't say Big Joel did this in his video, but people infantilizing children is absolutely a thing. It directly leads to a lot of conservative pearl clutchy takes like the mentioned trans stuff, because they can't imagine that a kid could decide that stuff on their own.

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

Having recently developed an interest in Fate, I use #Fatestrangefake as a thinly veiled excuse to rant at @aarlon.bsky.social about my thoughts on #fatestaynight, the Fate franchise and the nature of Fate's anime adaptations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_D7...

Stick Syndicate is slowly transitioning out of tech demo territory into being an actual game. I have something like a pre pre alpha that I'll start sharing around soon

sneakerheads, what shoes should I reference in the blank spaces here for my game?
A spreadsheet showing Old Sneakers, Common, 5% faster on the first row, then the next 3 rows missing the name column being empty, with the rarity and speed increasing up to Rare, Epic, Legendary, and 10%, 20%, 40% respectively
