It's #ScreenshotSaturday and there are now 186 hand drawn and unique items in my game. In 'Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot' you build and command your own party of 10 Beardlings in a chaotic mix between Auto Battler, Strategy, and RPG. #indiegames #gamedev

Big news! The first DLC for Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot 'Bards & Alchemists' is planned to launch in Q1 2027 on all platforms! You can already wishlist Bards & Alchemists on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5457390/... #gamedev #indiegames #RPG #AutoBattler

Mountains? Check. Forests? Check. Snow? Absolutely. My dwarves need somewhere to dig, drink and get lost. So I built a procedural hexworld generator placing 3072 hextiles in milliseconds resulting in countless worlds to explore. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

Further improvements to the hexworld generator. It samples fractal Perlin noise for elevation, moisture and temperature and then decides which hextile to place in each location. I then added some further logic for additional objects like snowy mountains, hardwood/softwood, etc. #gamedev #indiegame

My hexworld generator is starting to take form! #gamedev #indiegames #hexagons #fantasy

Another #hexworld. Improved the biome transitions. Still need to work on those mountains. #gamedev #indiegames #fantasy #worldbuilding

Playing around with some procedural hexmap world generation. #gamedev #fantasy

The playtest for my new game is slowly coming together. #gamedev #indiegames #dwarves #Steam

I've always dreamed of making games that players could spend hundreds of hours playing. Seeing people put 500+ hours into 'Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot' is a dream come true. #gamedev #indiegames #Steam

In case you are bored at work: New web build is available now! ichbinhamma.itch.io/dwarves-idle... #indiegames #webgames #html

New inventory/equipment concept: - Each item has an element - The character is assigned the element shared by most of their equipped items - Ties are resolved using an item type priority list Additionally, the borders indicate the rarity of the item visually. #gamedev #indiegames

Playtesting is going great! That's what happens when you forget that attack speed already uses values < 1 as percentage... So the leather shoulders currently grant +1000% attack speed to the little Orc. #gamedev #indiegames

For once, the AI knows what's up😂 We are currently doing our first major discount on Google Play with -50%! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiegames #mobilegames #android

I’ve always loved tinkering with builds, but most games give you a single class with a single tree. So I’m making a game where your party of 8 loots and levels, while you obsess over the perfect build. Currently I have 16 classes and over 140 unique skills. #gamedev #indiegames

Working on my Steam page (again). What do you think of this description?🤔 #gamedev #indiegames #ScreenshotSaturday

I've created 142 unique talent nodes for the new playtest version. You can request access to the playtest here: store.steampowered.com/app/4175710/... #gamedev #indiegames

I thought it would be fun if each class in my game had their own Skill Tree. Now I have to make 46 of them. The player only has access to 24 at a time, though. I don't want to overwhelm the player. Here is the preview for the Priest class, which branches into Cleric or Druid. #gamedev #indiegame

Google Play ratings for 'Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot' are absolutely over the top since the Season 5 update. #gamedev #indiegames #android

Finished the Ranger Skill Tree today. Your party is looting and levelling while you figure out the perfect build. Only 43 Skill Trees to go! You can sign up for the playtest on Steam now: store.steampowered.com/app/4175710/... #gamedev #indiegames #dwarves #Steam

"The game is just a vessel for the Skill Tree." I’ve always loved tinkering with builds, but most games give you a single Tree and no reward while theorycrafting. So I’m making a game where your party loots and levels, while you obsess over the perfect build with 24 Trees. #gamedev #indiegames

100 ability icons from my game. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames

My game does have quite a low review : sales ratio with less than 1 in 100 players leaving a review. However, ~7% (179 out of 2572) reviews have 100h+ of playtime, which I think is quite intense for a little indie game. store.steampowered.com/app/2205850/... #gamedev #indiegames #Steam

What game has your favorite Skill Tree? I love how Last Epoch manages to offer tons of build variety without making its skill systems feel overwhelming. I’m currently looking for inspiration for the 'Paths' system in 'Dwarves: Idle Battles'. Show me your favorites! #gamedev #indiegames

I'm still looking for a few playtesters to give their opinion on the initial idea of 'Dwarves: Idle Battles'. You can play directly in your browser or sign up for the playtest on Steam. Browser: ichbinhamma.itch.io/dwarves-idle... Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4175710/... #gamedev #indiegames
