Today is Best Day Ever in Dungeonmans, players get lots of gifts and free loot because it's my birthday. Do gifs work on bluesky yet? Why does the VCR timer keep blinking?

Some Canadian developer pulls a name out of a hat and 20 years later here I am still rather chuffed to be flying out of gate N7. Feels like the Shepard thing to do.

December will be Dungeonmans' 11th Mansiversary and I am not going to create a new sprite for the Headmaster statue each year.
Instead I created a balloon font and dynamic numbers and now the Academy correctly celebrates any year up to a uint from 2014. Doing my part for game preservation.

At some point in your #gamedev career you wake up and realize: yes, I am at the next level. Look how far I've come. Look what I can do. I have become a finely tuned machi

The fruits of today's UI dmans work: more dmans UI! Rolling a custom system in XNA was the choice I had at the time. It's been cool in someway and a PITA in others, which is pretty much #gamedev dot text.
That bow is pretty wild -- from a real player save, they certainly poured some love into it!

The walls in Eye of the Commando were given life and started chasing the player down. This is where we say "Caves of Qud", right?

Content pushes are such hype periods, you've got old players happy about the new stuff, new players happy about the old stuff, and then those bugs you swore you fixed but nope! Time to crank out hotfixen like they're going out of style! Nothing my wrist computer and tiny assistant can't handle.

Can't say that Dungeon Beachball development has been 100% flawless, but we're pushing the edges of known science here, mixing turn based and bouncy realtime gameplay. Unless there's like a Dead or Alive Volleyball Tactics out there?
