I realized today that when I lost Twitter, I also lost a lot of the cool indie game devs I was following there (and the updates on their games). And that totally sucks, because I really love to play indie games. Apparently Twitter was my main source for discovering them (sheesh).
Below is a pretty big list of games (with links to them!) that I'm looking forward to. There are SO MANY games on my Steam wishlist that are still being worked on and upcoming (some of these are on itch also, and some have alphas, betas, and demos, I've noted which).
Some of these games are definitely coming later this year, and fingers crossed for maybe full releases of the rest in 2024?
Old pixel art time - this one's from the previous millenium: 1994. Tilesets, inventory items, monsters and a very cheesy title screen for a dungeon crawler that never saw the light of day. Dpaint, 32(ish) colours. #amiga#pixelart#dpaint#dungeoncrawler
A late-game dungeon design in progress. These paper designs are just rough drafts and always end up revised to some degree once I start building them, but there's no way I could just freehand a level in Unity without planning it out like this first.
This will be one of probably four levels for the final dungeon.
I love to play this one.
I'm starting a new game party. We'll see how far I can go this time*. I haven't managed to finish it yet. It's a very good one!
Yesterday, I wrote a #devblog update for my #indiegame after four years of working on other projects. It feels good to return to the unfinished update 1.0.2 for my #dungeoncrawler game "The Fire of Ardor".
I have a made couple of improvements lately and plan to release the update this summer:
A very interesting article about Beneath Apple Manor (1978) who predates Rogue by 2 years & was the 1st commercial Rogue Like. BAM already had advanced gameplay.
At the moment I'm not very good at it, it's quick games (you unlock attributes, etc.. as you play) before a permanent death, but I found it original & interesting. Let's see! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128270/Path_of_Achra/
Ich hab letztes Jahr beim YouTube surfen einen kleinen englischen Dungeon crawler gesehen (leider nicht abgespeichert) der in der Wildnis/Dschungel spielt - kein Fantasy. Jetzt komm ich partout nicht auf den Titel...
