My latest Tricube Tales one-page RPG is a Cthulhu Mythos parody of The A-Team (it also draws inspiration from R’lyehwatch by my friends at Hedgemaze Press). www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...
Shows a spread of the one-page RPG, with the front page overlaying the back page.

More interactions sounds great, but I imagine it would be a real pain to design and code up all the combos. Maybe if it was just the four party members and you didn't swap any of the cast out?

Are you a) Someone familiar with multiplayer turn-based strategy, b) Comfortable talking into a mic and having your voice recorded, and c) Wanting to earn like 100 bucks? I'm looking to record some multiplayer footage for DOCTRINEERS for marketing purposes. You'll be compensated for your time.

Something I always thought could improve in Zelda 2 is if more items had usage in both the overworld and sidescrolling, so I’ve made my abilities function in both. Each of these lets you pass different scenarios of overworld obstacles #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #retrogaming

Low-res art, digital painting studies I made in 2012.
100x100 thumbnails of a misty forest with misshapen trees, a dog catching a frisbee viewed from below, a sprout starting to bud leaves, and a cracked brick pillar.

Like how Space Invaders would get faster as you killed enough enemies. Hardware limitations as game mechanics are real fun! Also, it's really satisfying to see your opponent throwing card after card from their hand at your combo, and it just bounces off uselessly.

Been messing around with Syncthing and it looks ideal for my purposes. I also put everything on a HDD every couple months for offsite backups. I'm at the point where I can reinstall my operating system anytime I want and it's just a quick sync and git pull to have everything back to where I need it.
