Wink Wink @poncle.games i'd really like a Dark Souls crossover.

Just seeing ornstein & smough or even the red dragon as i play as Solaire slaying hordes of Hollows or Baldr Knights or even the Hydra...🤯🤞

I'd actually love to play as the Hydra 😅

🤞I'd really like to see a new CASTLEVANIA game one of these days, but I'd def take a remake/remaster for Castlevania (N64), Castlevania LoD (n64) as well as Castlevania LoI (PS2) & Castlevania CoD (PS2). 😁WINK WINK @konamina.bsky.social

Did something to hurt my back, right where left shoulder blade is. Not sure what happened, but its strained and is very sore. Also, partial neck ache...🤔🤕

Heyo #indiegame #boardgame fam, i've been mulling this over for the last couple of days. So i'm pausing indefinitely with all my #gamedev projects, i may work on a survivors-like (been having ideas).

But, i'm working on a few boardgame ideas to supplement that. Looking forward to sharing more soon.

Damn, i really need a Castlevania Soulslike in the style of Dark Souls 1. That would be an instant buy for me.

Been playing a shit ton of Vampire Survivors lately, took me out of Borderlands/Dragons Dogma funk.

Finally finished the DLC for Castlevania, and oh boy did i think i was done, nope - loads more to go.

Makes me want another Castlevania game.

4 games that took me outside my comfort zone, changing my perspective on gaming over the years

Yep, there's a pattern 😁

🦷Tooth Update #2: Went to the oral surgeon, had 4 gum injections and the dude finally pulled it out. What a freakin relief after ~4 weeks of pain.

Got a YT vid coming later, much love fam ❤️
williampate.bsky.social New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 12d
Will not be doin any YT vids/YT vid posts tomorrow as i've got an appt. with the oral surgeon. Not looking forward to it, but this damn broken tooth has got to come out.

Much love fam.
williampate.bsky.social New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 15d
🦷Tooth update: was gonna head to the oral surgeon today, but alas doth ye had no appts. available for today. So, i'll have to wait a few more days until Nov. 3rd and we'll go from.

Pain has gone down somewhat-ish...and it doesn't feel like is crushing my skull like before, so that's a win 😅

Rough times man, apparently my mouth is too small for them to see properly. So the dentist tried to get the tooth out, broke it some more, now ive got to go to an oral surgeon. Just great.

Previously mentioned the asking about quests. I've opted to do possession quests. These are activated once a character is possessed, failed if unpossessed. Pretty simple; slay, fetch, go here.

Btw, some of the refs have to be tweaked to avoid direct naming of things as to not be hit with that big ass copyright hammer. 😂
williampate.bsky.social New William 'LordOvLoot' Pate @williampate.bsky.social · 14d
Do you like references?

You may have have seen a little bit of this, but for the npc chatter alongside my custom insult generator, i actually have
them (for differing actions) spouting loads of either really known or some really obscure refs.

You'll either hate it or love it 😁

So ive refactored the npc move logic, oof. Made a measure tool that measures between 2 points and they pick from that range.

What they do is they have their own target to move to that is repositioned along that range, and they move towards it. then decide to idle/atk and repeat.

Was gonna create some more features today, but ive had to dig through the npc movement logic to figure why the hell they decided to walk to the ends of the earth and not stop like their supposed to.

Finally manage to get it done, but in a way im gonna go over yet again to get a clean move loop/etc.

To quest or not to quest, that is the QUESTion😂

So, do you as a player want tracked quests in a little notebook or do ye want to not track quests?

Also, do ye want instant rewards for quest completion or do ye want to return to the scene and be rewarded?
