Yeah I never even met Brent before. I guess I will, in the future, but what kind of relationship is that anyways that's based on future interactions via contract

Looks good man! It may be too much pixel work but upon completion of a set the set of books could tilt towards the player in a quasi 3d, similiar to if you tilted a book towards yourself from the top of the book as you would a reality-type bookshelf.

Two days sidetrack into 15 different materials each for the columns, bar, behind bar, tables, chairs, floor, floor trim and dance floor for my roadhouse and so glad I did this--really spruces up the game! You also get upgrades and decor trophies for great play! store.steampowered.com/app/2822360/...

They made fantastic games, and more importantly, seemed a genuinely great place to work. What a tough year for the games industry! So many of my ex fellow coworkers at Actvision/Blizzard have been laid off since the Microsoft purchase. Probably many will permanently leave game dev.

This week in developing my roadhouse, I've added optional cosmetics/decor that you gain through perfect nights of service. I particularly love my new bar materials set, heres gold-edge marble with blue power lights; nice change from the polished wooden bar! #indiedev #roguelite #madewithunity

Did another pass on my game's tap-beer pour system -- last time I worked on this was like 2 years ago (!) so benefitted a reworking. It now relies on cool camera movements more and clearer zoom-in on the pour. Each of 7 beers taps differently, and you have to change on the fly to match the order 🍺

Deborah Ann Woll is a great actress but this character of Faye isn't much of a god of war compared to the goddesses listed. I dunno. What do you think?

000

gameboardgames @gameboardgames.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

God of War about Faye can be good but Goddess of War about Enyo, goddess of war and destruction, Athena, goddess of strategic warfare, courage and tactics; or Bellona, goddess of war, fury and bloodshed? So much more interesting. And call the game Goddess of War / Goddess of Fury / Goddess of Blood

gameboardgames @gameboardgames.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Faye may be a badass but to me, makes for a more interesting and thematic approriate direction to go with a true goddess of war like Enyo, Athena or Bellona, over the wife of Kratos. Ah well

000

gameboardgames @gameboardgames.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Female lead is of course 100% fine with me, but shouldn't the game be called Goddess Of War? For me, a way more interesting concept would have been making the game about Athena or the lesser known Enyo, the goddess of war and destruction, instead of the wife of the main character Kratos. 💪👸🏻

gameboardgames @gameboardgames.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Love this game, such a good adaptation and a good AI challenge. Also seems to me in general, a random selection of balanced different elements is often better than dice roll randomness or vast set unbalanced randomness (like starting with a random potion and spellbook of 100s in nethack)

It's definitely tougher for the iconography with many different types, and also low res., but one example of this that I really love was in the game Crying Sons. The game has 3 ships types, frigates, cruisers and drones, and the +\- was simply displayed in this effective reminder (the circle):

Good approach but I'd recommend replacement; put the good against bad against along the top row, larger size, and make it visual iconography, instead of good against, bad against; for example a x2 (or whatever the number is) or just a green plus and red negative would do; as players will hunt info--
