Heads-up for fellow CRPG dungeon crawler fans as one to avoid: this one is made by ban-evading neo-nazis.

Breaker of Kings is a hybrid dungeon crawler / strategy game where you level up adventures in dungeons until they are powerful enough to overthrow the kings of the land. It's at prototype stage and I plan to build it in 2027. store.steampowered.com/app/4709410/... #partybasedrpg #rpg #strategyrpg

Contract Terminated is the game I'm spending most of my time building right now. It's an Ultima-like RPG where you need to manage a group of mercenaries stranded on a hostile planet and eventually find a way home. store.steampowered.com/app/4889010/... #ultima #partybasedrpg #rpg

I'm having a lot of fun working on the combat system in Contract Terminated. Being able to use position and range is a nice extra dimension beyond how combat was in my earlier dungeon crawlers. #gamedev #tacticalrpg #rpg

Lots of great progress on Contract Terminated today. Mostly wiring up UI windows to each other and writing miscellaneous structural code. Good bones make healty games. :) #gamedev #rpg

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
