the prestige mechanic is complete sans juice. if you can hit the 50% flip, you can get coins for the prestige shop I'm implementing next. It's like a mini unfair flips just to keep playing knock-off unfair flips #GameDev #IndieDev #Fliplike #GodotEngine store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

backtracking will open the door for faux wins and also allows me to add some branching paths down the road - a lifeline for frustrated players and avoidable for those who want the true random experience #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine #Godot #Fliplike store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

now that the steam page is up, I started my BIG feature list for Unfair Dungeon. First is to try allowing the player to backtrack - it saves a step but breaks the combo. #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine #Godot #Fliplike #Steam #Prototyping store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

Results were not as high as I expected based on the generally positive feedback 😞 I’ve been overlooking the sour parts of the game loop that aren’t charming. #LudumDare is a tough jam. I will persevere!

**ANNOUNCEMENT** Steam page is under review! Unfair Dungeon (previously Random Walk) will be available to wishlist soon. I have fun plans for this. Follow my blog at nuzcraft.com or nuzcraft.substack.com for updates. #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine #Godot #Steam

My first #LudumDare! Random Walk is inspired by @hthrflwrs.bsky.social’s Unfair Flips and in playtesting it made a child cry in frustration. Try it out! #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine nuzcraft.itch.io/random-walk

It's not much yet, but this #zettelkasten is taking shape. I've found it useful for holding onto some game jamming tips & summarizations - it takes time to stop and write more notes, but I think it will be worth it #GameDev

another ~hour to finish gameplay
- reach depth 200 for $$$
- survive on snacks
- collect coins
I really like this game. It was good practice to get something that feels good in a couple hours. After this, a good polish pass w/ art, sounds could do lots #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike #LudumDare

30 mins planning + a little over 1 hr dev and it feels okay for a start. Drop down the darker holes to drop farther. Eventually you take damage, eat snacks, collect coins. I will give it another hour later, I think that will be enough to have a complete loop. #GameDev #IndieDev #LudumDare

getting closer to interesting decisions... kill kobolds for XP (blue), or kick them into the pit for coins (yellow) - the shop will focus on temporary buffs/tradeoffs compared to level-ups #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike

after a week-ish of reading and setting up a zettelkasten, I added some coins to nuzcraft's kicking kobolds #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike ..sry..the coins are at the END of the gif...

graphical tiles are in! I need to fix some references to keep the ascii display as it was, but this is the last major hurdle before v0.03. Let me know if you like keeping the hero as an @ sign. Tiles by @mrmotarius.bsky.social #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike #Love2D

added support for font + scaling preferences. most fonts look bad at 1.5x scaling but sometimes you need that if 12px is too small and 24 is too big. Next is some font mapping so we can get some new glyph rendering #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike #KickingKobolds

in addition to support for control preference, I added support for color preferences. Here are some bad examples of a potential green-mode and light-mode #GameDev #Roguelike #IndieDev #Love2D #KickingKobolds

experimenting with a new font. It's 8x16 instead of square. I think it looks nice in the new colors. I need more time to tinker. I might end up combining a set of tiles with a font I like to get the best of everything. #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike #Love2D

Updated color palette, screenshake, and support for more variation across the same tiles. Prepping for v0.03. #IndieDev #GameDev #Roguelike

not flashy but adding AOE to stomping can be powerful. The nearby kobolds get obliterated by the stomp-wave #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike

targeting is hard. WALL KICK upgrade is up and running + targeting mode to choose which wall to kick down. This seems powerful. #GameDev #IndieDev #Roguelike #Love2D
