Latest developments on EIKASIA - a dungeon crawler of ancient Greek mythos, where Plato has trapped you in a series of images converted to labyrinths, from which you must explore, loot, fight, and escape, if ever you are to reach the realm of the perfect and unchanging Form.

Second cut at the parry system. Now with animated lunges and blood particle effects. Again, forgive my tired lack of skill

First cut attempt at implementing a rhythm-based parry system in a traditional #roguelike (pls forgive my bad skill)

cave update: the simplified (topological) island connector i was working on is done. you can set the cutoff to any distance you want- here it excludes the final two islands, but joins up everything else.
i have one more modular island connector to write after this.

details probably only I care about. The smithy in town should have a sign beside its door and a path leading to the centre of town but something is up.

Idea: traditional roguelike game with ascii mode and art tiles mode, and the player presses tab to switch between them, and gets 200% bonus to all stats while in ascii mode

Some kind of abomination - programmatically drawn ascii and sprites. An experiment to be abandoned, I think

I entered the #ATASCII compo for the first time this year. I came in 2nd-to-last, but I was happy with my drawing: X the Owl from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

It's been a while since I tried drawing with the #Atari 8-bit computer's unique character set!

Exploring a massive spaceship in #Eikasia
In the mini-map, you can see the region where the player is exploring. In this game, you can give it any image and it will make an ASCII dungeon out of it!
