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?

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! Here, for everyone who liked Etrian Odyssey but wished they could play shirtless with a minigun. 90s Dungeon Crawling meets 80s Action Movies: Eye of the Commando!

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.

Freedom isn't free, but this week it's 33% off! Eye of the Commando is on sale during Steam's Third Person Shooter Fest, all week!

"Contra, but RPG?" Sure! Etrian Odyssey with a minigun? Why not?

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!

Been helping @byobattleship.bsky.social with Torment Hexus and enjoying some of the emergent situations the various elements can spin up. This Is Fine dot em pee four, right here. That's me in the corner.

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?

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?
