Implemented new ability. A map reveal, which of course needs to be called "MIND MAP" =D
Btw: Ascii FTW

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

Hello mum. Remember when I said I always dreamed of adventuring? Well guess what? I finally got around doing it!
I'm afraid I won't be writing any more letter anytime soon though.

I confess that I am 100% Caves of Qud addicted, but I would still like to declare that their merch is *absolutely gorgeous*.

Hm, this article is behind a paywall, so cannot comment on it properly yet.
In my experience you want experience, knowledge, talent and passion in combination with good leadership that support and guide the team towards greatness.
Where I've seen "masculine energy" it has been the opposite.
