You never see the grid in game I'm just using dev tools to share. The feel I'm going for is real time but the tick based system is a simplification that lets me design and balance everything easier and comes with huge performance and game flow benefits that let me have huge encounters.

Tommy @tommythedev.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I made all of the enemies move on a grid with 0.333s ticks, but you can still move freely. I was inspired by games like Runescape and Diablo. Design wise it's like a turn based game happening in real time. store.steampowered.com/app/4744230/... #gamedev #diablo #runescape #ALLFATHER

Thanks! I've been trying to make enemies that are more than just meat bags, so these guys are a good example of the encounters I'm trying to build

I've created wraiths that search for enemies to possess on the battlefield, making them more powerful. You need to kill the wraith before it moves on to its next host, or let them gain control of the battlefield and face a tough fight like this one. #WishlistWednesday

.333 is the minimum, usually longer because they have to close in. If you strike during the telegraph or before the hurtbox window (usually another 10-15ms), the enemy staggers and attack cancels. Blocking during the swing before the hurt box does a parry.

ALLFATHER | #TrailerTuesday A brutal, first-person roguelike with precise, stamina-driven combat. Play as a fallen shieldmaiden who rejects the judgement of the Valkyries. Crawl from the depths of Helheim to the halls of Valhalla. store.steampowered.com/app/4744230/...

It's distance based, so depending on the type of enemy they wind up an attack when you're x cells away. Usually a telegraph only lasts one tick which is pretty generous. .333 seconds a tick.

I haven't spoken about it, but the game is tick based and Grid based. So this means telegraphs and crowds are super readable. It prevents busy moments from becoming noisy. But I'm also hearing your point about gore getting in the way of visual communication. It's something I'll be mindful of!

there's lots of things going on: - different sounds for hits, crits and kills - a white flash + stagger anims on hit + small blood particles from the body part - 25% overkill = dismemberment, that chains from the parent bone of the killing blow - 50% overkill = gore exploision

We created a custom engine using Rust and OpenGL - worked out really great because the game is grid based. We did use FMOD for the sound, but that required a custom integration as well. It was well worth it though!
