We're aiming to release a free web demo of our game Stones of Power on itch by the end of the month. Before going public, we would really like to test it with some different browsers and setups. If you have some time to test this weekend please reach out and we can send you a secret itch link 🤫

VR development expectation: This is great, it will make me naturally not sit at my desk all the time and make sure I move around naturally! VR development reality: Can't be bothered to move, I'll just test at my desk. woops, almost knocked the monitor over. Ouch, I hit my hand against the desk

My favourite boardgame right now is Ark Nova. It hits all my buttons of engine building, economy, worker placement, strategy and replayability. Does anyone know any PC games that have similar elements? Would love some recommendations :)

Pushed the weekly update way too late because instead of uploading the build I started playing it instead.

Stones of Power is a challenging rogue-lite deck-builder where stones are what you use to build your deck. Most of the stones are based on real stones and minerals and I want to share the used reference pictures and the current version of the stone in the game. First up - Amber 🔶

prepping for new Stones of Power build, this one includes significant change to the game mechanics! Going to be interesting to see how quickly people find broken combos that we've missed 😆 #indiedev #gamedev #deckbuilder #roguelite
