Getting around to working on some much needed character portraits finally. If you've played the demo, this is the Director that debriefs you. #gamedev #art #portrait #indiegame #rpg #solodev

What's your favorite kind of boss #healthbar? As you can see I really like the ones that show recent damage as a different color, they feel great when you start knocking chunks off! #indiegame #gamedev #indiev #action #RPG #horrorgame #cardgamedevelopment

Shield cards can reflect attacks, and even cancel other enemies spells. There's a few modifiers that will boost the reflected damage as well! #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #cardgame #actionRPG #deckbuilder #demo #steam

Hell ya we got summons in Discard All Hope (they actually have been there for a while but they didn't scale and kinda sucked, now they do scale and don't suck in the demo!) #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #horror #rpg

Big #gamedevelopment update for Discard All Hope's #Demo! #Cards now drop with #loot levels and better modifiers! Spell warnings have been improved so you counter better too! Too many small updates to list. DEMO LINK in PROFILE! #gamedev#solodev #action #ps1 #horror #indiegame

Tweaked the design of #cards and added #loot levels! Enemy attack indicators now communicate the type of attack (triangle for melee, circle for projectile, etc). There's a loot log now as well to display the names, #rarity, and level of cards (not shown) #gamedev #indiedev #action #rpg #indiegame

What do you think of the run #animation I added to the player? I'm going to add a couple more transitional animations to improve the fluidity of the characters actions. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #horrorgame #action

Seen too many examples of players in the demo forgetting they can rotate the camera and getting stuck at this exact point. Blunt solution? Just show the camera rotating at the exact location most get stuck. Subtlety is for cowards! #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

More WIP than I tend to show but here's a look at the optional procedural dungeons. Think of them like chalice dungeons in Bloodborne, a fun addition to the campaign. They're pretty barebones now but I have big plans for them! #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #horror #horrorgame #deckbuilder #actionrpg

Inspired a bit by stuff like Grandia, you can completely cancel just about any enemy attack during it's windup by tagging the enemy with the same element they are using. It's a good incentive for deck diversity! #deckbuilder #indiegame #actionrpg #shooter #lootershooter
