how do people feel about achievements?

i have taken a turn into variety streaming i guess!! still streaming game dev every so often too, but mainly procrastinating

some RPGs have a skill tree

Mnemosyne has a wall of feats

In #Mnemosyne, you begin with a (generally) fully clothed Vessel, often with its own trinket which may or may not afford some kind of special benefits (or drawbacks).

Naturally, you can swap this out if you find one you prefer.

Working on improving Mnemosyne's in-game helpfile system and its interconnectedness with parts of the UI. see something that confuses you? you may be able to hover over it or click and see more information, sometimes a LOT more.

excuse the barebones character sheet UI #gamedev #vuejs

Sometimes you die, despite your best efforts.
But the memories remain.

I realized that some of the skills would be a bit pointless without this feature, and so I prioritized adding ranged weapons that consume ammunition! Judiciously edited video demo:

While not a roguelike, you can indeed experience permanent death in #mnemosyne. While death of your Vessel is not a permanent ending, they are gone.

However, you can still reminisce on their achievements afterwards. (some details redacted to protect the guilty)

wtf

little gameplay gif i made while play-testing #mnemosyne -- some tidbits of exploration and combat in the Diverticulum, the layer of sewers and maintenance tunnels beneath the city of Myelin

One thing I noticed while playtesting is that a lot of the combat in #Mnemosyne ended up being 1v1. This meant either the player character being smushed by an NPC much higher level than them, or steamrolling a trash mob. Decided to prioritize adding NPC followers...

I really love videogame music, so I think this will be a fun exercise. I've seen it going around Bluesky, and have enjoyed seeing and hearing what songs folks and friends alike love! (copypasted thus)

picked better rat sprites (more humanoid, not top-down, have faces, angery 💢) so maybe people won't immediately assume they're murder material #mnemosyne #gamedev #pixel #rpg #mmo #murderhobo
