god bless py-spy. Holy shit

A bold new direction for Delve

I am downloading the demo!

I love Python. Best programming language - and I've weirded out job interviewers by saying that lol.

I need to be faster, not the computer

Ogrelore is being developed in Python, with select parts being converted to C as necessary

snow and ice map with a darker palette

Maybe.

Hell yeah! Toughest guy in the game right now. The key is to hide somewhere he can't get or run him into another one so they'll fight.

Darkened crazed woodsman and ogre against a bright snowfield

Fooling around with colors for the snow biome. Making the background really light, and then bringing down the colors of everything that's on top of it. It's kind of weird because the negative space is all bright, but idk, interesting

Here's a mockup of some game art with the CRT shader. I'm not sure if I want to go this direction or not, but it is compelling

An illustration from "The Velveteen Rabbit" rendered as though it's displayed on a CRT screen.

We might have a CRT shader working here, haha. Bluesky might compress it too much to see the detail, but it looks great on my monitor.

Pixel art doors and dungeons for OgreLore

Doors today - My process always seems to be: first pass (terrible), second pass (hey, there we go) and then a bunch of fine tweaking.

Turkish Qud is a vibe

categories are a fuck

it's probably been one of my most dearly held precepts

OgreLore is built atop the corpse of every project that came before it. OgreLore contains every emotion I've ever felt, every dream I've ever dreamt.

a real cave

literally just add more fs - not hard

Here's another of these, just for good measure. This one has the connections fully working. Today I'm hooking up preliminary versions of all those creatures I was doing art for, so get ready for that.

A vast cavern lit by a grid of glowing mushrooms. Monsters of all shapes and sizes pursue a lone hero.

Big day today - I got a ton of new monsters into the game, and they're all mostly working!

Here you can see them attacking each other (and me) in the test arena. The colors look so lush - I couldn't be happier with the new colorspace.

🤘hell yeah

The blood's looking a little giallo-style. I've yet to see if I want to tone that down or not.

ASCII art showing large perlin noise caves dotted with other smaller cave systems.

Test output for ice caves - featuring open sections "*" and smaller caves. It's still not 100% there yet, but it's a work in progress.

Did Burglin' Gnomes get a high-profile streamer to play their game or something? It looks very bare bones. I mean it looks like a middle-tier Roblox game

Alright - that does it for tonight. A bunch of minor fixes to graphics, and the new tiles are in. Look at those mycelial walls - so nice. Have good night.

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev

Have *a* good night, lmao.
