Huh, time loop stories are roguelikes? I feel like there's something there where oftentimes we experience time nonlinearly in our minds. We go over the same memory repeatedly, thinking about it from different angles.

great thread about tenderfoot tactics. so much of it can also be applied to eidolon, a game that rewired my brain back in the day

New Lancer Tactics build is up (v1.4.2) wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti... Not many highlights for this one — it was a lot of under-the-hood refactors and bugfixes. But my release checklist says to post updates to bsky so here we are lol

Okay! Here’s the opening statement provided by the fired Rockstar workers. Key points: -There was allegedly a ‘mole’ in the union Discord server for over a year who funnelled info back to R* -It’s claimed R* only acted shortly after union members passed the 10% threshold for statutory recognition

Lancer Tactics is looking for a multiplayer programmer! lancertactics.com/hiring-multi... If you've been through the rodeo of pressing the "enable multiplayer" checkbox for a Godot game, we'd love to hear from you!

Just manually sold a copy of LT to a player in brazil for half-price because the USD-Real exchange rate is so bad & itch.io doesn't have regional pricing... and it cost $30 to set up our Wise account to be able to directly accept payments. A+ business lol

Map for my Lancer campaign.
Top down map of a solar system, with a minimalist design and a black, blue, white and orange colour scheme. The planets are marked and labelled with names and faction logos.

Text reads:
The dawnline shore
5026U

WAR HAS STRUCK THE FIFTEENTH MILLENIUM! 
AFTER CENTURIES OF BOILING TENSION, THE COLD WAR BETWEEN THE ANCIENT KARRAKIN TRADE BARONIES AND THE EXPANSIONIST HARRISON ARMORIES HAS EXPLODED ACROSS THE REMOTE BUT CONTESTED DAWNLINE SHORE.

LINES ARE DRAWN, ARMIES MARCH TO THEIR INEVITABLE DESTINATION. WARSHIPS BLOT THE SKIES AND TANKS CRAWL ACROSS THE DESERT. THROUGHOUT THE SHORE, TRILLIONS WAIT FOR THE HAMMER TO FALL.

We just had our first malicious upload to Lancer Tactics' mod.io directory! Somebody AI-vibe-coded a mockup of a companion editor app & provided an evil installer URL file. It's been removed, but stay on your toes. This shit looks plausible at first glance (but hilariously wrong in the details)

Godot 4.7 added visual control offsets which makes animating UI 1000x easier, so I spent the evening sprinkling it in on various screens.
