Hey there, it sure is. The EA build has all the content in the trailer and more. Holding back quite a bit for 1.0 though of course. Planning for 1.0 exactly one year after EA

Don’t worry, I’ve been toying with a Rogue mode, which would essentially convert the game dungeons to pure Rogue visuals and UI ############## @ ##############

Thank you so much! It definitely does feel more real, like the horse has bolted out of the gate real haha. Congrats on Tuoni getting streamed - it has a huge impact on wishlists, which helps us indie devs a lot :-). It's really good of them to boost our visibility - I'm so grateful

A bit of programmer art #roguelikedev-ing. Entities sensing their surroundings and assessing which behavioural pattern to adopt. Here is a "trophic level" simulation where 1<2<3 in the food chain. A game of cat and mouse between 1 and 3 is interrupted when 1 sees 2 and gets spooked

It looked much worse! I kept iterating to try and get at a better look and feel, but it never worked out, so I backtracked and here we are. It looks like a sync issue so far but still plugging away at it

Tim Graham Games @timgames.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Testing out the new improvements to Roguefort's 2.5D mode A bit of tearing on the player sprite but it's coming along nicely. I switched it to 2D sprites again rather than extruded 3D versions and it feels more genuinely 2.5 dimensional #roguelikedev #indiedev #roguelike #indiegames #indie #steam

Speedrunning is the most concentrated form of game mastery that exists and most players who watch it don't realize how different their understanding of the same game becomes after 200 hours of optimization. It's not a niche hobby. It's a different relationship with the medium. #speedrunning #gaming

It’s so pure and immersive, it almost has a liminality to it that bends the mind nicely. I tried to get a 3D mode going in Roguefort and I must say, what you did here is inspirational - not easy to get the horizons and draw distance stuff right, let alone buildings. Top stuff man

Tim Graham Games @timgames.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The horizon landmarks look SO good. The part of my brain that got activated when I first experienced 3D games in the 90s just got a long awaited key jingle
