Work on OgreLore continues! I've been working on spells and effects. I wouldn't call OgreLore's setting "grimdark" or anything, but there *is* an amulet that gives you infinite blood.

Switching gears to do some more pixel art today. That's right, this game has little bunny people in it. This one has a little walking stick. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #pixelart

Dividing the dungeon up into territories (gray is neutral) for different monster factions to inhabit. #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #ascii #rpg #dungeon #procgen #pcg #osr

In my great and magnanimous wisdom, I have decided that this game would be better if you could light everything on fire. #ogrelore #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev #osr

Here's another sample of the territory division algorithm's output - this time on the fungus cave biome. You can see how versatile it is. #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #ascii #rpg #dungeon #procgen #pcg #osr

I increased the light level for the glowing fungi, and it's done a lot to make the fungus garden look nicer. Next up: torches in the dungeon areas. #procgen #pcg #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #pixelart

A variety of circular room-types - pillars, rings, etc etc. The plan is to generate them all and then hand-pick the most aesthetic ones. #roguelike #ascii #gamedev #pcg #procgen

Circular rooms and circular patterns #roguelike #ascii #procgen #pcg

Secondly, monsters will be able to modify their territory, and in doing so it will be possible to layer multiple stages of history on top of each other. You may see wooden barricades from the dungeon's current occupants, stone carvings from its previous ones, etc #roguelike #indiedev #procgen #pcg

The hope with this is two-fold: first, it's meant to situate monster factions in a sort of micro-political milieu in which there are established neutral and claimed areas of the dungeon. #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev #procgen #pcg

I've been working on some code to find where open spaces/chokepoints are in a generated level, with the goal of establishing territories for different monster factions. The red rectangle on the left corresponds to the in-game screenshot on the right. #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev #procgen #pcg

This is maybe more broad than most of the advice in this thread, but I want to push back against the "make small games" advice that gets thrown at new devs. Make the game that's interesting to you, but do it in a controlled, prototype-driven way.

*ALERT*: Hypogean taiga now bathed in wan light! Part two of my lighting pass. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #pcg #procgen #rpg #pixelart

In tandem with the lighting overhauls, I'm also putting together a tactical overlay that lets you see lighting and vision cone information that affects stealth gameplay. This part is very much a WIP. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #pcg #procgen #rpg #ASCII

Torch placement so far - the ascii for the torches looks not-so-great at the moment, though. I mainly wanted to show off the statue placement in this room. The dungeon decoration algorithm placed these statues in rows facing each other. Sorry there's blood and slime everywhere. #indiegame #gamedev

Just a minor update to the way FOV and map memory are displayed, but I think it makes the game much more legible #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I put muskets in the game, and they're kind of OP. #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #rpg

If you haven't written a missile attack system in a grid-based game, there's a weirdly high number of things you have to consider.
