Kiwi Game Designer making Gloam Watch; a Roguelike RPG inspired by Gloomhaven, The Bazaar, & Earthborne Rangers.
I improved the attack animation to increase its visual impact.
Vfx take time to create but the outcomes are very rewarding!

Small improvements to the attack animation. Procrastination working on one system by improving another is really the key to everything gamedev.

One day of working on the consumable potion system and fairly happy with it.
Reads correctly from the player's inventory. Is set up for me to be able to make a bunch of different potions easily.
Just missing ALOT of polish on the feedback.

No matter how much math you know, it will forever take half a day to do something as 'simple' as making a line arc across the screen 😂

Stayed up way too late making my icons lerp scale when you hover over them.
Now you can look at my 2 second paint tool art at 1.25 scale 🤓

Big milestone today, I think I've finally got all the gameplay pieces for and designed the early set of equipment cards.
One step closer to having a playable build!
Gloomhaven roguelike, lets go!

Still not perfect but this door opening sequence is feeling a lot better than it was 1 hour ago.
Added a delay to enemies spawning, the camera lerping into the room, fixed a bug with the player movement where previously a spike in the frame rate caused them to overshoot their mark massively!

Are day night cycles one of the 4 deadly horses of indie games?
I already have procedural levels & roguelike mechanics 🤣

Before I go ahead and nuke these designs to better fit the UX of the game. Here is a look at some cards.
After watching my 1000th hour of NL traversing a Slay the Spire clone map, I can see the novelty wearing off.
I think I have a much more engaging way of traversing a deck builder dungeon.

Encounter 1 taking shape...I might need to make the enemies a bit more aggresive looking

Quick look at a procedurally generated island using a wave function collapse algorithm.
Game design is inspired by Slay the Spire, but I'm aiming to bring more originality to player choices than most STS-style games as development continues.

It might not look like it from the surface but i spent a long time reworking the player systems. It now plays like a rogue like gloomhaven where you draft & collect equipment for each hero.
Hope this was worth it in the long run. I am feeling pretty confident it was.
Excited to share more soon!

After 2 years hobby deving, I am still tinkering away at core systems but loving the process
I am interested to know if anyone would play a roguelike inspired by Gloomhaven & Battlebrothers and if so what types of things would you like to see in it?

An island generator using the wave function collapse algorithm on a hex grid.
A small snippet from my Indie RPG that I am slowly but surely working on :)
