A bit of math, about the "Gumbel trick": A sampling algorithm usually presented as some kind of dark magic: “Look! Two ugly pages of calculus prove it works!” So I wrote this blog to present a magic-free explanation. Also almost calculus-free. medium.com/criteo-engin... #Math #Probability #ML

Dice 'n' Goblins is a charming little dungeon-crawling RPG with some deceptively clever systems under the hood

In MENACE, Scavengers are the backbone of any pirate raid. They rely on sheer numbers and makeshift rifles to pin down enemies, tossing frag grenades to clear defenses. They resort to improvised RPGs when facing armor, trusting raw firepower over precision.

Making sure the player cannot get locked out of the main quest by mistakenly killing the wrong NPC ? Checked :) #gobsandgods #indiegames

an dead goblin NPC, killed by a murderous player. Can the main quest continue? Of course, this is just a stupid game with goblins.

In MENACE, piracy is rampant in the Wayback, and the Planetary Jingwei has lost its grip on the sector. Once a rare nuisance, pirate bands now raid freely, plundering colonies and hoarding rare off-world trinkets. However, the real danger lies in whoever’s running the show behind the scenes.

Switching between turn-based and real-time battles: what's the trick? Can you game the system by repeatedly switching modes? Does the 'Speed' stat really work in turn-based mode? Find out the answers in my latest blog post: www.gobsandgods.com/blog/time-un... #gamedesign #turnbased #indiegame
