Rebuilt the commander selection screen in Chess Army. Each commander brings its own domain, starting army and branch of the class tree, so the pick commits your whole run before you move a single piece. #indiedev #pixelart

New commander in Chess Army, and he isn't mine. He's a character from a novel by @lartisanmeurtrier.bsky.social , who I'm also making another game with. Felt right to put him on the board. Pixel art roguelike RPG built on chess movement. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev

First feedback on the Chess Army demo is in: the game is reportedly very hard... Is this a big deal? Do you think I should simplify the game to attract more people, or just accept that my game is difficult and won't be for everyone? Let me know what you think! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Progress on my small project. I’ve been working on the spell upgrade system. I finally went with a spell “personification” approach. Upgrading a spell doesn’t just increase its power, the player can choose between several upgrades like increasing damage, reducing AP cost, and more. #Devlog

Rethinking Soly right now. It might be too big to handle alongside another project. Maybe for a solo dev, aiming too big is a mistake... I’ve decided to pause Soly’s development for now and focus on smaller projects to see what I can achieve. #GameDev #IndieDev #Devlog
