Pyreo || Developing Rosk ⚔️🛡️🐉

#PitchYaGame #WorldofWarcraft Mythic+ dungeons but without the MMO aspect. You and up to three friends run a timed dungeon, get some loot, then do another dungeon but harder. No levels, no quests, no fluff. Handcrafted dungeons, no procedural generation. (Here’s some early alpha footage)

I went back to Firefox when Chrome said they were gonna stop ad-blockers working. Haven't looked back since.

It had such a good theme song too! 😭

I think my favorite moment from last night’s IRL demo was the kid who made a character named “Sir Poop” and just killed crabs on the beach for 30 minutes, completely ignoring all the quests. You go, Sir Poop, proud defender of Rosk!

Demo station all set up 😁

Just added my first voice acting to Rosk for the demo tomorrow! My wife and I did all the voices and had so much fun doing it. I wouldn’t have been nearly as pleased with an AI voice 😁 #solodev #indiegames #indiedev

I’m no AI bro but saying the Switch 2 jailbreak isn’t real because AI (partially) did it is a bit silly. The dude didn’t just type “jailbreak the Switch 2 make no mistakes” and yes it’s tethered and you needed a game to do it but that’s been happening for at least two decades now.

I 3D printed this lil sign for the demo 🤭

Technically the Switch 2 jailbreak is just a tool-assisted speedrun if you think about it.

Ugh Epic, You're making the good Unreal devs look bad SMHMH

I...have no idea what to do for my game's trailer...

Very excited to be showcasing Rosk at the Indie Play Fest this weekend! Since I don’t have my Steam page up yet for wishlists I made these business cards with Playtest keys on them 😁

Fellow gamedevs, how important is a trailer on your Steam page? I think I'm getting close to releasing it but don't have a trailer yet. Do I need one?

Are we gonna do this, Bluesky? Are we all just gonna not understand accounting? 72B$ of the 80B$ is convertible notes. They became greater liabilities because the company's valuation skyrocketed. They don't have an 80B$ loss in the sense that almost everyone here is imagining.

Hey look! I updated all my capsule art on Steam today and didn’t use the AI machine! If I can do it with a 10 year old version of Photoshop and a screenshot so can you! #indiedev #solodev

Having a lot of fun adding sounds to spells and effects. I really feel like Rosk is coming to life 🥹

Not too worried about AI making a vibecoded Rosk rip off. Because Rosk is basically one insane man's dream to make his own World of Warcraft-like. So the AI bros would just try and make a WoW clone 😵‍💫

I bought 64 gigs of ddr 5 when I upgraded my pc last year. It was $110 per 16x2. Now it’s $600. E we didn’t know how good we had it.

Made a new type of enemy ability for Rosk! No AI code here just 2 hours of trial and error 😁 #indiedev #solodev #UnrealEngine #RPG

H Ula’Tek down. Now to retire into Forever as god intended.

NGL despite being an Unreal Engine developer, Epic kinda sucks. But godot didn’t exist when I was getting started and Unity sucks too, sooo 🤷🏻‍♂️

I use Unreal Engine to develop Rosk (no ai) and the launcher has always been awful. Just use Asset Manager Studio or directly click the project file. Never open the launcher.

Who needs AI when you have a decade old version of photoshop you got at an old job?

This is my new favorite painting.

Age yourself with a childhood crush

My website is dumb but it's not vibe coded. Also my studio name is bad but I came up with it when I was like 12 😂

Do WoW players know that the shop mounts and outfits aren’t required purchases? You don’t have to buy the owl bro, no one is making you purchase the witch set.

I love buying new spell assets. #indiedev #solodev www.fab.com/listings/623...

I have SO many books I'm excited to read to my 2 month old, voices ready and everything. Bruh why?

When I have downtime at my day job I design mini bosses for Rosk that no one will ever fight. #solodev #indiedev

I’m not even a big Sonic fan but there’s gonna be some wacky stuff in here

Oh look me thinking Rosk will be done in a reasonable time-frame.

This has been a godsend on the Forever beta www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/b...

Yeah, I shouldn’t have watched this as young as I did

Capcom Engineers are building tools that aren't just Game Industry leading, but Tech Industry leading. And making it open source. But this will neither get coverage or apprication. Instead people will blindly fall for clickbait.

Something that the article seems to fail to mention is that this isn't about AI generated assets, its about using AI to run and validate human made code. This is like saying "spell check" is AI

I love my in-laws. They are so helpful with the baby. Allowed me 6 full hours of gamedev and I got a bunch of stuff done.

Fuck man, just thinking about this quest and the story behind it makes me teary. The child has made me an emotional mess.

Me With an 8 week old and a showcase for Rosk on the 25th. 😵‍💫

Do you outgrow hiccups? I just realized I don't think I've hiccuped since like 07.

A lot of people gonna be mad when they find out the #WoWForever beta isn't early access 😂

Asked my boss to buy me all the chemicals needed to make enough Red Bull to last a lifetime. 🤞

God bless those assets I bought in 2018.

Can I also post a lukewarm take everyone already agrees with and get 100 likes? Seems to be the meta.

I hope WoW forever comes to Switch 2. I think it would get wife to finally play 😈

Oh no. I read the story about Blizz putting in the Ezra wheathoof quest about his dog Kyle and now I’m crying. Im such a softie since I had my kid 😭

Wife and baby are gone for a few hours. I should work on Rosk but The Dark Lady needs me.

Oh my god this game is pretty. #worldofwarcraft #wowforever

Say it with me, kids! "BETA IS NOT EARLY ACCESS"

It worked!

Oh, I get it. No one on Bluesky understands sarcasm. Everything makes a whole lot more sense now.
