🎯Balancing a roguelike is a 4-way tug-of-war: Drops ↔ Crafting (what's the better path to gear?) Mobs ↔ Power leveling (does the curve actually scale?) Pull one too hard, the other three break. Iteration is the only path. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

⚒️ Reworked Hexstride's loot economy. Item drops are up — but raw materials are rarer now. Two paths to gear: drop something useful, or craft what you actually want. Crafting is the deeper path. Every tier of gear gets real investment now. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Also, the Square one is basically the morse code of the name of the game HEXSTRIDE haha. And on the ambient basically is a more slow background and you have the Square 1 be basically a distant echo of that.

YAWP Games | Wishlist Hexstride now! @yawpgames.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
For context also, when you are moving on the dungeton (which I have to mention is a turn base system combat/movement but reinvented) this is the music it would play, and as they have the same "length" I can easily transition from one to the other fading one out while fading the other in.

YAWP Games | Wishlist Hexstride now! @yawpgames.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
First of all, thanks for the feedback hehe. This is my 2nd time creating something regarding music and I love to have feedback on it. I'll iterate on it on another moment too. When palying it RN i don't feel it annoying (my first song I had to comment the code as it was nerve breaking haha)

YAWP Games | Wishlist Hexstride now! @yawpgames.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
I agree and the plan is to only use this main track when fighting Objectives (more tension), when moving around the dungeon you only would have a different one which is only the bases and slower pace.

Actually this is just a random seed, every time you open the game is different. When you click play is when you enter the game HuB where you have stations to craft different things and change class, and the teleporter which lets you enter to different levels of the dungeon:)
