Love coding games, most things turn based and ascii 😁. Made a bunch of games, once upone a time I made Ripple Dot Zero and Metro Siberia. Coder by day on the mobile game Polytopia. By night I play around with my own stuff. www.salomonsson.se #gamedev

Need more variation, so cooked up a bunch of new enemies. Meet the Skelington family. And watch out for Big Bro, he's got a temper 💀 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #solodev

Really neat way to visualize height difference in a top down, 2d ASCII game. (I know Dwarfs Fortress used similar take. It's still nice!)

Weekend coding, time to improve the enemy AI code (no, AI does NOT mean LLM). Ranged attack behaviour: try to find an ideal tile to attack from, where you have free sight AND respect min/max distance from target (if too close: back away). #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #screenshotsaturday #ascii

Got to try this gem out today (although only a few minutes). Looks like a gold nugget to me, so keep an eye on it if your into tactical turn based games! 🌟

It was fun to do a short gamedev project with my brother, and see how far we would come in about 7 weeks of development time. But now that I've wrapped it up, I'm really looking forward going back to my semi-ascii, squad based roguelike again! #gamedev #roguelike #turnbased #indiedev #solodev

When I was a kid, "developer difficulty" was the default difficulty level. I'm not very good at level design, I just tried to make it look interesting, but I'm afraid I might have gotten close to that old mode... www.salomonsson.se/games/superb... #gamedev #indiegame #platformer #notMadeWithUnity

@landgren.nu Ville bara upplysa att Wikipedias inlägg om Skolplattformen är väldigt otydligt skriven, vilket gör att Googles AI-sammanfattning tror att du var ansvarig bakom Skolplattformen 😅 Men efter att läsa Wikipedia är det inte orimligt antagande sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolpla...

This image is absolutely amazing! The closer you inspect it, the weirder things you'll find. It's like layer-on-layer with really weird and creepy details. I think you should make like a coloring book with images like these, where you can draw little circles around all the weirdnesses you can find

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

It's weird to see #gamedev who has forgotten how it was to be young and play *that* game that hit your heart and stuck with you for the rest of your life. Often I hear gamedevs tell that such a moment led them to their career choice. But to some it's just a vauge dream, a desk job with a pay check.
