We're making a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where your ship is your deck. - Artillery turrets fire one BIG slug - Great for high-accuracy runs - If it misses, sad times. If it hits, does some serious damage. It's called Hunt of the Reptorians #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder

New art and animations for the beam turret (still need some lovely particle effects). - You need to wait a turn while the beam turrets charge - It now gets visibly more err... excited as charging progresses until it eventually unloads! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder

I found an ancient screenshot of my initial Hunt of the Reptorians prototype. Prompted me to do one these cheesy "How it started. How it's going" videos. #screenshotsaturday #huntofthereptorians #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder

I'm quite new to Bluesky, and X suspended my account for no reason last week. So I'm going to start spending a lot more time and effort here instead! I'm looking for people to follow that make (or aggregate/review) sci-fi space-battling games that I can follow. Any suggestions? #gamedev #spacegames

Gibbonfiend @gibbonfiendstudios.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Had some fun this week making this video showing off various ways you can defend your ship. I might have missed career in voice acting 😆! Enjoy our (cockney) captain explaining this (might be worth putting the sound up for this one) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder

We're making a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where placement is everything. - Shields are projected by a delicate emitter mounted on the hull - Punch through the shield, destroy it, and it's out for the rest of combat #screenshotsaturday #huntofthereptorians #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder

Gibbonfiend @gibbonfiendstudios.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

We're making a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where damage is meticulously detailed. - Chunks carved out of ships - Weak spots are exposed and can be exploited - Damage stays with you until you get to drydock It's called Hunt of the Reptorians #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #roguelike #deckbuilder
