One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

The worst part about making a really big game as a #solodev isn't that you won't finish, it's that even if you do nobody is going to ever see most of it. 😞

My feelings on releasing this update keep oscillating between crippling perfectionism and Fuck It We Ball and I've been leaning more towards the latter recently. Could be done this week, we'll see.

As far as I know I am finished fixing everything that I broke by going widescreen, so now I just need to do a few playthroughs to make sure the systems changes haven't broken the progression too much.

Just a heads up to anybody with a game in progress, v1.2 brings so many changes that existing 1.1 saves will not work. The upside is that I'm taking this opportunity to redo some areas without the risk of soft locking anybody. More on those soon! #GameDev #Glyphscape #RPG #Indiedev

Looking for upsides of this slopworld we live in, and one I'm grateful for is how many more process photos I see. Granted it's for a twisted proof-of-humanity test that we now all have to take part in but hey I get like 75% more art out of every art.

This is your daily reminder that if you dump all those steam trading cards that you don't care about at market rates, you'll have enough wallet funds for a few cheap indies by next week. It's like when your inventory is full but it's all 0.1kg items, except instead of over-encumbrance you get cash.

Still slogging through the last bits of the UI overhaul, which is now bleeding into "things I should have polished a long time ago". Hopefully will be wrapping up this week, but UI always takes longer than I expect.

It's a good thing I'm wearing every hat in this organization because idk how I would explain to my boss what the slice of the revenue chart labeled "trading card sales" means (it ain't Glyphscape trading cards tfs)

Taking yet another pass at the UI for spell crafting. Now that I've got twice as much screen real estate I SHOULD be able to make something a bit more intuitive this time.

geouug @geouug.com · 17/07/2026
Every 6 months or so I make 1 small change and Glyphscape gets substantially better. Going from 1:1 to 2:1 is one of those. It's so pretty.

Started the process of localization for Glyphscape (waaay too late, obviously) and I have absolutely no estimates on when that'll be done. Still need to figure out the "I don't speak Japanese" problem.

I like this trend.
Indie Game at beginning of CovidA simple ASCII roguelike, showing a menu asking the player to confirm travel to a lower floor. Indie Game NowIn a torchlit tavern, a mouseperson and a robed figure meet. An inkeep minds the bar. The ASCII art is developed with a 2.5D perspective, lighting effects, and bespoke characters for chairs and tables.

Well, the 1.2 update was supposed to be mostly non-UI things for my sanity, but instead I kicked off an overhaul of literally every menu. Worth it I hope

geouug @geouug.com · 14/07/2026
Did one final pass on the rendering so that I can support a full 128x64 view. The old square view allowed for 64x64 so I wanted to preserve that level of zoom. Zones are only 128x128, so at this zoom the camera only pans up and down.

"Having a demo actually results in fewer wishlist conversions" should not be surprising. The demo exists for the players who actually DON'T want your game, but don't know it yet.

Whenever I get overwhelmed with the state of the world, I remember that it would have been a pretty cool setting for a near-future dystopia 15 years ago when I was really into near-future dystopias.

geouug @geouug.com · 13/07/2026
Preparations for a double-wide display layout for Glyphscape have proven fruitful. I'm so optimized on the display that there's barely a noticeable fps hit from doubling the rendered area. (Very rough because I'm just dragging UI elements around in Unity)
