JUPITER HELL DOUBLE RELEASE! Jupiter Hell 1.9 "Heavy" is out, new Heavy class, new traits, perk upgrades, buffs and more! store.steampowered.com/news/app/811... Jupiter Hell Classic 0.11 "Terminal" is out too, with the Warden, bots, terminals and Hacking! store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.14 "Ruins" is out! New Europa branch and special levels, ancient items, a new boss, cryogenic and corrosive mods, new assemblies, smoother animations, visual upgrades and a ton of fixes! Please help spread the word! store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

The main problem with vibe-coded games isn't bad code or even AI art. It's that you can generate years of implementation in days, but not years of playtesting, iteration, and design judgment. A game can be finished in a weekend. That doesn't mean it's been designed.

Imagine someone coming to an established open source project and dropping a huge PR with tons of features, badly tested, not following project guidelines, some features not working at all-and expecting maintainers to fix it and merge it. That's how mathematicians feel right now.

Hot take - it's not "this model is too dangerous to deploy". It's "most "secure" websites are too vulnerable to be allowed to operate".

The hero we didn't know we needed, the hero we deserved. Mod of the year definitely goes to IKEA :P youtu.be/0tBlFZsMuO8?...

So many non-programming people will now learn that you shouldn't take that "almost finished" game jam prototype and try to make a finished game out of it.

If AI ever truly "solves" software engineering, it will have solved most non-physical jobs first. Cheering for coders to get replaced is a bit like cheering for the iceberg because you dislike the people standing at the bow.

If the teased StarCraft game at BlizzCon turns out to be a mobile game, that will be the final nail in the "legendary Blizzard" coffin, and final confirmation that they lost all contact with their audience.

"But you have the "Traditonal Roguelike" tag on steam, so stop whining!" Well... (hint: only one of these is)

So, are we at the life-as-a-service stage yet?

I heard Ubisoft is remastering Heroes III? I found a leaked screenshot.

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.13 "Medic" is out! New Medic class with 5 Master/5 regular traits, Exalted enemies, seeded games, UI/UX improvements, balance changes and more! Repost, share and check it out the linked patch notes! Yes, we're getting close to 1.0 :) store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

I've managed to beat Larn ( via larn.org ) on my first attempt... of course difficulty 0. But still, this is one of the few roguelikes I've beaten. I regret never having tried it earlier - it has a lot of interesting ideas that would have shaped my roguelike career!

Greetings, mercenaries! Quasimorph has officially left Early Access and launched in version 1.0. For the next two weeks the game will be available at a 33% discount. Thank you to everyone who stayed with us throughout Early Access. Good hunting, mercenaries. #roguelike #turnbased

Thanks for hosting, fellow sci-fi demon hunters ;) Jupiter Hell Classic, the successor to DoomRL and sidekick of Jupiter Hell just recently had a big content patch and is also slowly crawling to 1.0! bsky.app/profile/did:...

The day idTech died :'(

I think I'll add a hidden medal to JHC and DRL - RTFM - for winning while never moving diagonally.

Classic rogue-LIKE fans, this indie developer made a turn based title with permadeath, procedural levels and pure 90s sci-fi carnage, from the developer of DRL (f.k.a DoomRL) It's called Jupiter Hell Classic, and it's 20% OFF for the Steam Summer Sale!

Each time I finally feel autonomous AI codegen gets a W on my codebases, a few days later a basic significant oversight is revealed that I would never have done building the code myself.

Farewell Bobby Prince, your music will be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you!

Fun fact: Moria predates Rogue. But not THAT Moria. The 1970s PLATO Moria was a first-person dungeon crawler (proto-blobber?) with RANDOM LEVELS. The Moria that became Umoria->Angband was a later Rogue-inspired roguelike. This is why programmers say naming things is hard.

I always find it funny when someone who's never heard of USENET tries to explain the origin of the word "roguelike" to me.

All those "one shot game X in Fable" people don't seem to realize why game jam games can be completed in 2 days, but then the commercial version of said game can take 2 years.

Finished Half-Life 1. Indeed a masterpiece of its time. I especially love the environments/level design and environmental storytelling. While people point out that Deus Ex was released afterwards, I do have to point out that Dark Forces and Jedi Knight were released before!

Gave me a chuckle.

I will have to retract my fairly positive opinion about Claude and agentic code tools in general. While they do work fairly competently with the DRL mixed FreePascal/Lua codebase, against the much larger C++/Lua codebase of Jupiter Hell they're proving barely worthwhile...

Still on a break from my Elder Scrolls full playthrough, I took upon myself to fix the cardinal sin of never having played Half-Life. Started OG Half-Life 1...

To mark Polish National Cat Day, here's a classic case of artist vs cardboard art :)

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.9 "Melee" is out! New melee traits + Masters for Scouts/Techs, improved melee FX, Relics equipment slot, UI/UX upgrades, grenade + weapon tweaks, mod drop rate buff, toxic medusas, and Shattered Abyss! store.steampowered.com/news/app/312...

The only thing growing exponentially in genAI is energy consumption and the volume of executive bullshit ahead of the next funding round.
