My next game is called Coilbound and will be a challenging but lighthearted Mystery Dungeon-inspired game set in a dark fantasy dystopia. Follow and wishlist here if interested: store.steampowered.com/app/4483710/...

One of the most relaxing activities I know is to mull over various 16-color palettes, and it led me to revisit this article by @androidarts.bsky.social 😁 androidarts.com/palette/16pa...

The only slop you'll find in this game is from food turned foul. #coilbound #coilboundgame #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #humanmade

The challenges mentioned regarding procedurally generated games are very familiar from my own work, and this one is made in RPG Maker MZ with a ton of custom plugins! Impressive 👍

Saw an FF6 stream in my feed that looked a bit weird and it turned out to be this mod: ff6worldscollide.com For someone who has replayed this game a thousand times, it could be nice to mix it around a bit. I remember having a great time with the LTTP randomiser a few years ago.

Happy Anniversary to Shining Force 2! 🎂🥳🎉 Released on the Sega Genesis in North America on this day in 1994, this classic strategy RPG gave us an awesome cast of playable characters and epic battles. Is Shining Force 2 one of your favorites?

Yes, I do have a thing for chunky pixel UIs. Wrapping up mouse support integration this week! #coilbound #coilboundgame #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Started a charmless run in Sekiro and got absolutely destroyed by O’Rin.. But went pretty well otherwise. And, always nice to revisit Kongō-san 🍁

PlayGameHarbor did a nice article about my current project! playgameharbor.com/news/coilbou... #coilbound #coilboundgame #indiegame #turnbased #TurnBasedThursday

At least for me, when physical resolution is large enough, the artifacts from non-integer scaling aren't noticeable enough to go with int scaling + borders instead (though aspect ratio must be preserved). And nowadays I usually enjoy adding a CRT filter as well to smooth it out a bit.

Found this screenshot of the original editor for Ultima Underworld over at reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Ultima/com.... Beyond fascinating, really.

Nice view this morning 👌

A perfectly placed pixel can make all the difference sometimes 👩‍⚖️😳🥷🔮

One aspect regarding choice of dev-tools that I've thought about a lot is how much the estimated efforts are to keep an application in a working condition 10 years or more from now. They are of course only estimates, but depending on factors can be more or less qualified.

Lufia 2 is one of my favourite games for the SNES! The Ancient Cave mini-game is basically the first roguelike I ever played. Wouldn’t mind some adjustments for the first game though, like the encounter rate.

More balancing and scenarios! About half of all planned scripted content done. #screenshotsaturday #coilbound #coilboundgame #indiegame

Today I put in a solid 6h gameplay testing session of Coilbound and I can definitely say I felt the hook. The main thing dragging it down was food shortages, so that will be ajusted. Kind of amazed though, and very happy that time just disappeared while playing 👌

More scenario making, I had a lot of fun with this one. ⭐️ if you can spot the reference. #screenshotsaturday #coilbound #coilboundgame #indiegame #turnbased #mysterydungeon

I had a lot of fun with the original version, nice to see that it might reach a new audience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZVQ...

TODAY’S THE DAY! Roguecraft DX is officially launching on Steam TODAY! The dungeon of Mordecoom awaits. The monsters are hungry. The potions are questionable.  7:30 AM EST

Having played a few split-screen games recently, I realised how awesome it’d be if Fromsoft had incorporated it in Elden Ring, or any of their games.

The game is coming together. Almost feature complete. Added some new enemies like the Skeleton Wizard that swaps position with the player if it brings him closer to a monster. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム制作

Scenario-crafting and balancing in progress. #screenshotsaturday #coilbound #indiegame

About a year ago I played the demo for Destiny Spire which is now releasing in 6 days!

The game has released! #ruinsOfCalaworm is a lovingly rework from an obscure early 90s German Dungeon Crawler. Think #roguelike but earlier: no ranged, no builds, few stats, deceptively simple. Just You and then Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors. --> Get it on @itch.io (Link in Bio)

I started playing Shining Force II yesterday, and initial reaction is that they have managed to smooth out a lot of jank that the original had, and it generally feels a lot more snappy. Also nice to see some item management QoL features, though in-game item descriptions are still sorely missed..

Development of Coilbound is back on track after summer break! I wrote down a few thoughts here along with this weeks changelog store.steampowered.com/news/app/448... #coilbound #indiegame #mysterydungeon

I completed Shining Force tonight, such a great game despite a bit of jank and missing QoL features. I first tried it 30 years ago but took a while until I got hooked 😅. Looking forward to try the sequel, but might check out some other old SRPGs before that.
