I figured I should make a dedicated account for posting about my game and other game related things I might release.
I've been posting bits from my map generator, and i've cleaned it up enough now i can release it as a 0.0.1. Heh. It works, but beware.

Did you know bsky is a game distribution platform?
If only most QR code scanners accepted data: urls, you'd be able to play the worlds most minimal version of #guitarhero

Slimes in games are always just piles of goo.
What happens if you have a pile of sentient rgb goo?
Mimics. Mimic's are what you get when you have a pile of sentient, angry, rgb goo.

Huh. Those turkey legs, and bombs keep getting knocked off the belt and into that pit.

(Well, there will be when i build it... hehehe)

Well, it's out there on Itch now.
The Wizard, and the Warrior are fully implemented, and 3/5 floors have some content, along with a bit of an ending when you reach the third floor boss.

So, i've just pushed out a playable build of my game. "Roguelike Academy. Freshman Year"

This is version 0.3.0, so, while it's playable, and beatable, and most of the features are there... bugs likely abound.
All of the art, and music are placeholders.

It feels kinda like a cheat that just generating a level, rotating it 3 degrees, and lerping it past makes a decent title screen.

Out of curiosity, how many people have "Upstairs" projects, and "Downstairs" projects? or something similar?
I have one game i'm working on in my office, and the little PoC i just pushed out was (until yesterday) my upstairs project, for when i'm jiggling the baby, or minding the youngin.

I've built the worlds smallest randomizer. It's got a Sphere 0, a Sphere 1, and a Sphere 2. Proper logic is followed when laying out the items.
Sphere 1 requires either the key or the ring of jumping, sphere 2 requires *both*.
In theory, there's a sphere 3, ([key|ring] sword), but you can

This is the first image of a succesfull spawn of the third floor, with the miniboss room, the stairs and everything connected.
I'd still call it a fail, because the way the corridor is drawn into the boss area breaks some specific corridor rules, but damn does it feel nice to have it in.

I've been working on wizard spells. Here, we get to see one of the wizards starting spells (Curse of Life Drain, a DoT), and one of the more powerful spells, Ice storm.

All of the wizard spells in the spellbook work. They've all got VFX, and at least some upgradability.
All of the base warrior skills are in place.
Seems like its time for content, balance, and polish.

Been a *while* since I've posted.
I've gotten pulled into a roguelike project, that's still nameless, working heavily with Claude.
Just pushed a 0.1.0 release this weekend. The warrior is the only class implemented "fully" and balance is... not.

Working on a tileset generation tool for my own pipeline.
I'm betting there's tools that already do exactly this, but i don't know what they are, and it feels like the learning curve to find and master them is higher than the effort curve of just writing my own.

ChatGPT just gave me a task. Hah!
It actually makes sense in context api.txt is a file i generate and pass back to the llm to prevent function name drift.
The llm doesn't know i generate it locally, and doesn't need to. but it's actually worked pretty well.

This is just silly enough I felt like I should post it. I suspect people on both sides of the opinion on ChatGPT would find it somewhat amusing, if for different reasons.

With the next step being beter UX and Tileset stuff in DungeonSmith, i decided i needed a tool to mark up tilesets with autotile data.
But, writing that is boring. So, instead, I coached a local LLM thru the process of writing it, in a language i don't use regularly.

I just pushed another small update to DungeonSmith.
This adds basic CI scripts, and configs for deploying to k8s clusters.
Going to spend the next week working on the editor, before going back to finish the conversion to Helm.
