Diablo 1 insight: The fact that you do not naturally heal in the dungeon, forcing you to spend resources to prepare, is a great and gritty resource management system. Also, the fact that you gain information about the monsters after you defeat a number of them is absolutely fantastic.

Spending a few hours diving back into Diablo 1 is a lovely, nostalgic experience that highlights some fun game design aspects of the classic game. Durabilty to nudge you to upgrade equipment, spells as things to be discovered, light areas, monster AI pattern memorization and more. Fun stuff.

It is surprising how much imposter syndrome I feel designing games with a cultural or historical aspect. It is indeed true that I was never a lumberjack in the 1920s, but I should feel permitted to design a game about it.

Jason Pitre @genesisoflegend.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
The campaign for Lonely Timbers is chugging along nicely so I thought I would talk about the game's origins. This game was originally born from the GameChef competition back in 2017 where we were encouraged to design games around the themes of borders, both literal and metaphorical.

Do you like Mass Effect? Once More into the Void is basically the rules light, Mass Effect style RPG that plays in 1-3 sessions. The physical copies are $20 and whatever doesn't sell is going to be pulped bc it's too expensive to send them back up into Canada for storage.
