Soul-binding and phylacteries: we can bind creature souls to objects and resurrect them from objects. A creature bound to a phylactery, upon death, will just respawn after 24h near the phylactery. Inspired by countless D&D lich stories of course.

Here's a "ghost goes to the afterlife" visual effect, but at normal game speed it's a bit hard to see, as 2 other effects play in parallel. So, a slomo version below - here you go folks, I spent an hour or two on that! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

In Sigil of Kings, death is just an inconvenience... Corpses are linked to souls, and can be used as resurrection targets. Resurrected folk might still not be happy you killed them though :)
Happy Halloween!

Switching to Linux (Mint) as a #godot #gamedev: easy mode, with fantastic tools like Jetbrains products and SmartGit for source control - it immediately feels like home, without Microsoft's forced rotten direction. This is coming from a Windows fan since the 3.1 era, btw.

Even though most game maps will be procedurally generated, there are going to be a few fixed ones. For some simple maps (e.g. tutorial) I'm making a simple tool to be able to create them. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Redo of world generation screens! Some polish still needed, but hopefully a bit more consistent overall. Oh GUI dev what a rabbit hole you are #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

New screen: selecting starting skills and attributes. Took a while to design, any feedback welcome! (positive or negative)
Also, your opinion: Explanation of skills/attributes in box at the lower-left space, or via tooltips?

A roguelike without a tutorial can be a rough experience, due to the endless possibilities. One game mode will be a tutorial, which will show players what can they do in the game. For now, this is the screen where we choose this mode.

Harvesting mushrooms! Mushrooms (and other herbs/plants in the future) can be found in patches big or small, and your yield will be according to that, and your harvesting skills. Harvested plants will be useful in crafting and alchemy. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart

Smells like team spirit: if you attack a member of a team (e.g. a villager) and you're not seen by others (e.g. via stealth - first below), you're ok, otherwise (second below) everybody will attack you! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

A huge THANKS to everybody who has wishlisted Sigil of Kings, based on a promise of a vision of a solodev and an endless, endless array of how-the-sausage-is-made videos and posts, without even a proper demo *yet*
You're AWESOME! 🤩
