Oooh, interesting! We have burn & other status effects, so dying with them could be interesting!! A visual of a burn zone or something that fades over time would be really neat!! I’ll work on the death splatter today, may be able to post an update later on!

Stealth mechanic win, using local and global name variables I managed to beat the prefab unlinking issue I was facing, so now my stealth setup is better than ever. Things are coming along well #Unity #IndiDev #GameDev

Looking out from inside a trash can, you can see some neon signs in the distance and a colourful door

This is sick, I think that would totally add to the impact, I think physics chunks would work the best, with a blood trail & splatter on impacting the ground. I may make that the default, instead of the current PG enemy falling down animation. Or a combo, fall down -> chunks, like Conker’s 🤔

Oh jeez, I’ll take it down, sorry about that!!

But yes, a lot is trying to tie in synergies between spells, and the tower abilities. And trying to find a good mix, as the tower and player should l be equally strong as the run progresses, which has been tough to do. It’s easy to balance the player, but the tower sometimes lags in development.

A lot has been on the balancing of the game, mainly some spells invalidating the challenge of learning to play. This comes in the form of certain auto-targeting spells, max-health stacking, etc. Some is coming from a push to return to tower defense, as it’s morphed into an action game recently.

This, plus scope creep concerns, but honestly, I feel like fun content comes before polish for indie titles!! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #runictower

Chatted with some friends today, we might be adding in equipment soon to Runic Tower… From a developer perspective we want to keep the system simple, but we feel like 10 options for abilities limits the amount of synergies the player can find, so we’re going to fix that! #gamedev #coding #indiedev

Upgraded our UI quite a bit, received some awesome feedback that helped us massively increase the quality of our game’s menus 🔥🔥🔥 #coding #unity #unity3d #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #roguelite #indie #gaming

Roughly a minute of Runic Tower gameplay, mainly focused on QoL changes. Decreased visual noise, increased enemy interaction, etc. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #coding #unity3d

Got it, we want to make better combos as well, rather than feel like choices don’t matter, would take any advice you have here in terms of combo abilities 👍

Restless Gamedev @restlessgamedev.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Great job!! Definitely not an easy feat! 🙏 UI has been one of the key pieces of feedback we’ve received, will certainly be doing a rework of that asap! #PebbleMeta #PebbleMeta

Oh wow!!! Thank you for the feedback!! Reading through your comments definitely help clear up a lot of items on my side as a game developer. We definitely need more resistance and ability cohesion, rather than just building “Good Stuff” ability sequences. Really impressed with your feedback!!

2 minutes of #RunicTower early game. Plan is to have difficulty ramp in the later waves. Please feel free to share any feedback/suggestions!! #indiedev #coding #indiegame #art

Nice work!! What was your inspiration?

Restless Gamedev @restlessgamedev.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

It was mainly that the UI script that was attached is used normally for capturing player mouse events in standard 2D UI. So replicating it multiple times (for each enemy) made it extremely performance draining!

Restless Gamedev @restlessgamedev.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Huge performance boost during development today!!! Turned out we were assigning a UI call to a world space enemy buff/debuff element… Fixed, and now the spike has been removed 🔥🔥🔥 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #coding #roguelike
