Just one example of builds where you can blow up your summons. Basically a screen-wipe but leaves you vulnerable after! Now ... which relic can fix that weakness 🤔

We added ~15 new, strategy-refining relics to the game.
Honestly, we concepted enough relics to have more than 100 in the final release.
This is my favorite part of games & gamedev 🙌

I played this at a game test and it's sooooo satisfying to turn the red enemies into your own. Pleaseeee upload on Itch so I can play more

We've been working hard on this one, and still got a few things to tweak - reaching the demo soon!

It feels so good when all the systems align 🙌💀

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!
Playtesting went wild, and balance went out the window!😅
I may need to put a cap on how many enemies can be alive at any given time 🤔
(Yes, those are ~250 enemies)

I'M LAUGHING SO HARD AHAHA I'M FRAMING THIS ONE
My first YouTube 'hate' comment, and it's S tier comedy + chef kiss.

How long would it take you all to write 7 code sentences? 🤨
I guess that's why games never get finished 😔

@moderation.bsky.app why did my post where I am sharing my embroidery project got Markt as spam? I did not violate any community rules

So I am trying to leave Instagram and Tiktok by working more on my hobbies. Here is my #wip of an embroidered tote bag. All hand drawn, so if you have any ideas of what I can add let me know!🌻

A question for game designers

How much information about a games' system do you want to see?

Example 1 is from Tiny Rogues, which shows more stats and info.
Example 2 is from League of Legends for a basic ability.

I personally like giving more info than necessary. I prefer design 1.
