Mist in an ASCII roguelike looking 👌
Coincidentally to Spooky Day, I'd been working on an area in my game where I thought it would be appropriate to have a mist/fog effect and a tip from the roguelikedev discord lead me write animation code that used Perlin noise. I quite like how turned out

It was fun to do a short gamedev project with my brother, and see how far we would come in about 7 weeks of development time.
But now that I've wrapped it up, I'm really looking forward going back to my semi-ascii, squad based roguelike again!

When I was a kid, "developer difficulty" was the default difficulty level.
I'm not very good at level design, I just tried to make it look interesting, but I'm afraid I might have gotten close to that old mode...

This image is absolutely amazing! The closer you inspect it, the weirder things you'll find. It's like layer-on-layer with really weird and creepy details.
I think you should make like a coloring book with images like these, where you can draw little circles around all the weirdnesses you can find

Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
