I made some progress on my #roguelike this week. I added visibility - so you can see rooms when you walk into them but tunnels have limited visibility. There are also multiple floors with staircases between them. And I made improvements to the map generation algorithm. #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #HobbyDev #HobbyGameDev

Rogue ist Punk! Ein Roguelike im Browser bauen
Auf der Roguelike Celebration 2021 hatte Chris McCormick den Vortrag »Building Juicy Minimal Roguelikes in the Browser gehalten und darin gezeigt, wie man (beinahe) in JavaScript pur und ein wenig CSS plattfformübergreifend ein Roguelike für den Browser entwickeln kann. Leider fehlen im Begleittext zu dem Video die Links zu den verwendeten Bibliotheken und Assets. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023120202_roguelike_browser/ #Retrogaming #Roguelike #JavaScript #GameDev

12yo: Dad I’m on level 1 and I put on a cursed ring of haste.
Me: Level 1? Yeah might as well just scrub that run.
12yo: No! I’m going to keep going, I’m going to prove you wrong! Oh I died.

Checked out Magicraft. It fulfills the promise of being an Isaac meets Noita #roguelike. You place spells (projectiles, AoE, summons) in your wands, install "enhancements", have them trigger other spells in "post slots" etc. Not super varied yet (still in EA) but neat already!

New character: This is the monster tamer. Can tame enemies or spawn a helper.
Also 🔊 sound fx! These are very #wip but things are coming to life.
Very excited to announce a new look-and-feel is coming to the shop in my billiard #roguelike Rack and Slay. That means shiny new fonts and super cool item icons! 🖼️

Roqi, from the Emerald Woods #farming #roguelike discord, shares a bit of this lovely dwelling built in the middle of the mountains. It even has an underwater reservoir for Hibax, and a place for Cheaks to shelter and sunbathe. Share yours in the comments!
Okay so I've spent around 12 hours with #Roguebook now, and I have to say... I really, really like this game
It has *just enough* of that #SlayTheSpire feel that that it draws you in, and then it really holds its own as a very distinct experience
Having to manage two characters and strategically switch between them, combined with the use of "allies" makes combat feel different enough that it requires its own strategies, and I really really love the progression mechanic of "pages" for permanent bonuses (in addition to the usual unlocking of additional cards and "artifacts")
Also I really like the map exploration mechanic... it requires a bit of getting used to, but becomes a fun bit of strategically using inks and brushes to cover as much ground as possible
Still has a bit of catching up to do with the 70+ hours I've logged in Spire, but I'm definitely continuing with it!

Spent the weekend working on a neat little classic #roguelike. It's nothing spectacular yet, and probably never will be, but it's been a fun #HobbyDev project. I did map generation and player walking yesterday, and "look mode" and other stuff today. #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #GameDev

Delving in tutorial land. My least favorite place.
Do you still remember this concept? Well now it is way more than that!
I have a working turn and combat system! Supports multiple player characters and as many enemies as you can fit on the screen!
The dungeon grumbles in the distance, will you be brave enough to wnter?

NEW VIDEO:
The Best Rogue, and Other Roguelikes for Amiga
In my latest video, I walk through the complicated history of the original Rogue, it's original ports and the "core roguelike" ports from the 1980s and early 90s. And I pick the best one out of all of it.

Update on Dungeons of Freeport:
Level design is fun. The township, Freeport Hollows, is coming along nicely. Finished some shops, and the inn in the centre of the town, where the player stays from the start.
A new version of Emerald Woods, the crafting farming #roguelike is out! Lots of new things to craft for your place, also added trenches and water channels, and more! check out the full list of changes at https://blog.slashie.net/2023/11/20/emerald-woods-sweet-home-0-3-8/ and remember you can play it for free at @itchio
Today I added a rusty portcullis to my dungeon crawler prototype. Doors can be unlocked or bashed down, but to open a portcullis you need to find its corresponding lever nearby. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Additional useful and fun tools: brush radius AND brush density can be changed for doing stuff like adding random bits of tall grass in an area.
AND - small non-bulky items sitting in tall grass and other such terrain will be hidden unless the player walks over it (or has a torch ignited, showing up small objects within the radius of the torch).
Laid the groundwork for menu systems and player classes this week. 🥱

November 15, 2023 - Day 318 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 338
Game: BPM: Bullets Per Minute
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Sep 16, 2020
Installation Date: Nov 15, 2023
Unplayed: 0d
Playtime: 16m
BPM: Bullets Per Minutes is a rhythm-based FPS roguelike. I discovered BPM when I was reading about Metal Hellsinger, and added it to my wishlist.
Joke was on me. Turns out I already owned it.
After the 250Mbps fibre was installed today, I went looking through my unredeemed Steam keys list, and spotted BPM. "Ooooh! I'll install that!"
While this has the same basic concept as Metal Hellsinger, it plays very differently.
Instead of raiding hell, you're a Valkyrie raiding randomly generated Viking-esque dungeons, rendered in an eyewatering, almost monochromatic colour palette.
You also absolutely MUST fire on the beat, or the gun just doesn't fire. Even on easy mode, the mobs hit hard. Each hit does 25% damage.
You walk into a darkened room that may or may not have a wild number of mobs in it, and you run around trying to make out where you're going, and not get hit.
If you're unlucky, there's a boss in the room, who might completely blind you for a moment... and then you're dead.
Ultimately, it was the graphics that killed it for me. I would probably persevere if I could easily make out what I'm shooting at against the backgrounds, but it just becomes too much work, particularly when there are a lot of mobs on screen.
I really wanted to like this game, but unfortunately, BPM: Bullets Per Minute is another:
1: Nope

Cuisineer is a wonderful game that combines #roguelike dungeon-crawling and restaurant management in fantastic ways, and is still a lot of fun on the #SteamDeck despite minor issues.
A copy was provided by XSEED Games for review.
@mcSlibinas No problem.
#minecraft right now, if you die, you get five minutes of your gear existing in within render distance to recoup. If some of it falls in lava, that's gone. If you don't get it within 5 mins of reaching render distance, it's gone.
That is #roguelike pattern.
If you had a grave or chest to store your items, essentially infinitely, you can go get it next week after you take your kids to school and none of it will fall in lava.
It makes you feel calm.
#minecraft should be calm.
#minecraft should build in a gravestone / angelchest situation. It's not a #roguelike, and it shouldn't act like one.
August 18, 2023 marked 30 years of the establishment of the #roguelike word, with the USENET group, rec.games.roguelike.misc set to be a forum to discuss the design of a genre of "dungeon-type", "rogue-style" games.
