This weekend’s #ROCGameFest was amazing! Thank you to all the exhibitors who showed off your games, all the attendees who packed the RIT SHED, our food truck friends from Roll’n Deep, and the RGF committee who put it all together! We can’t wait to celebrate ROCGameFest’s 10th anniversary in 2027!

I've been heads down prepping THE PATCHWORK SHIP for the #Rochester @rocgamefest.bsky.social - can't wait for folks to playtest my #indiedev #godot #roguelike #deckbuilder in person! Come by, say hi, grab a sticker, and try to beat the Gatekeeper ŪNUS!

On this #wishlistwednesday, I've described how procedural generation has evolved in The Patchwork Ship, my #roguelike #deckbuilder #indiedev #indiegame #godot game! nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

Absolutely BRILLIANT art by @prookal.com for the sketch prompt of The Patchwork Ship! Thank you so much! Support #ocsky and commission some #art from them!

I've been iterating on the visuals of The Patchwork Ship, starting with a blocky cigar, then a mess of pixels, and its current form. Procedurally generating ships and maps for a #roguelike #deckbuilder #indiedev #indiegame can be both gnarly and rewarding!

Continuing to experiment with procedural generation in my #godot #roguelike #deckbuilder, and I'm quite happy that the design of the logo finally reinforces the main idea of the game. I'm overdue for a write-up; I'll describe how I'm doing this.

Doing a usability pass on my #godot #roguelike #deckbuilder cards - larger size, clearer rendering, clearer costs, icons for categories (accessibility), upfront descriptions. Progress!

Making progress on the procedural generation of ships for my #godot deckbuilder.

Happy #BlackCatAppreciationDay, Carly is helping me program.

I've been implementing usability feedback into The Patchwork Ship, leading to rabbit holes on fonts and multi-storefront controller support. The result is a cleaner and better-playing #indiedev #roguelike #godot #deckbuilder nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

My favorite bug from the first public playtest of The Patchwork Ship: you couldn't restart after losing because the boss yelled at you. A ton of takeaways and feedback from the Summer @lakegeorgegamesexpo.com #roguelike #deckbuilder #indiedev #indiegames #godot nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

I've got the copy, art, screenshots, and teaser trailer ready. Fingers crossed!

The swiftly approaching @lakegeorgegamesexpo.com has been a great motivator for my digital and physical presence of my #Godot #Roguelike Deckbuilder! The Steam Store page is almost ready; I've got a rough draft of the trailer, and preliminary screenshots are in. nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

My upcoming #roguelike #deckbuilder written in #Godot works on Steam Deck using Steam Input! Getting ready for @lakegeorgegamesexpo.com ... nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

this is what it feels like to make a game

I'm excited to announce I'll be exhibiting my #Godot #roguelike #deckbuilder at the @lakegeorgegameexpo.com on July 26, 2026! I've been preparing for the vertical slice and addressing early feedback, so the takeaways can focus on improving the game, not just fixing known bugs.

This is one of the experiences that led me to make my own games; it feels great to release this.

With a working save system, you can coherently progress in my #Godot #Roguelike #Deckbuilder from conflict to encounters - including @yarnspinner.dev content from a narrative design collaborator. A boss sequence and some polish, and this will be ready for playtesting! nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

Ever have a conversation with a sentient factory? With @yarnspinner.dev for #Godot GDScript, you can! I added a unique ASCII-character static-to-text dialog system to my #Roguelike #deckbuilder. Read more: nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

Outposts in my #roguelike #deckbuilder, built with #Godot, are working! I revisited my GDD with an industry professional, narrowed the scope, researched FTL's encounter design, and refined my narrative approach. nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

I've got a nice procedurally generated map in my #Godot #Roguelike #Deckbuilder, complete with a directed acyclic graph, traversal, music, and sound effects. nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

Two weeks of heads-down work on my #Godot #roguelike #deckbuilder have resulted in automated CI Steam deployments, @fmodstudio.bsky.social reactive music and SFX, @yarnspinner.dev dialogs, and more. Playtesting through Discord coming soon! nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

venture capital owned

I just sponsored @yarnspinner.dev on @github.com in anticipation of the upcoming GDScript release! Go sponsor your open source dependencies!

This week, I've added a new evade mechanic, sticky controller targeting, multiple opponents, and a scalable data foundation. Also, a fix for a sneaky CI issue for silent GUT failures. I'm getting closer to a vertical slice! #godot #roguelike #deckbuilder nullband.games/posts/2026-0...

I've been adding controller navigation to my #godot #roguelike #deckbuilder and been learning about layer-based focus. Must not get too distracted by #SteamNextFest ... nullband.games/posts/contro...
