Sadly not. Itβ€˜s still a long way before RoA is playable enough… ambition overpowered my capability to do sane feature management because I started this program to have lots of fun. But my fun and player fun are not necessarily compatible in the early stages πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Here's a vid. This is with ctrl+mousewheel. The zoom out looks great! But something happens with any zoom-in level past 1x

I reminded @brannalbin.bsky.social that you have a fresh NotEye version ready =) Hopefully he'll be in touch soon, currently very busy I think.

Ah, a little ghost form test. @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #ADOM #roguelikes ' Earth Temple recerated with #RealmsOfAncardia tiles and colors. (With minor modifications and new tiles).

Interesting to see how small the levels were becauase of the 1 console screen limit. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Hello, hope you're all doing well :)

Here's a look at the "Fire Temple" assets and color scheme for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

24x24px, single color multiplied on each asset. 64 color palette. (using about 8-12 here). 2-8 frame anims.

Development on Ultimate ADOM sadly has ceased due to a lack of funds. It sadly was no longer sustainable.

@brannalbin.bsky.social 's #ADOM #roguelike Earth Temple level re-created with the #RealmsOfAncardia colors/tileset.

Also there's now a cute ghost form for debugging in the tileset test :>

Example of skill icons for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's Realms of Ancardia.

The 3rd row is what makes it in-game. They're not the best looking, but they fit the theme better.

Last row are mini-icons that will be added to the font spritesheet

Conjuring dungeon tiles for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

Definitely want more movement for the monsters, it's a good start.
Good thing is that there's no purely visual tile logic, to keep it simple

Also this time I'm not falling for the GIF trap ;) MP4 power!

Cute little tileset I must admit. Coming along nicely.

Idea is to have weapons on the sprite change depending on what you're holding. Currently there are 20+ weapon types, and they all have their "hold in hand" miniature versions.

Testing tiles for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev
Tile ideas include visible equipment & cool fire=)

Unity prototype grew a bit more than just tile solution testing. Now it has level transitions, some tiles actually working. Cool little side hobby ;)

Entering towns in @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia

The gleam is way overboard, maybe we'll skip that ;)

I've written the description myself, I'm not sure if that's what they'll look like in the full game.

Different guards depending on the ruling body (literally! :D)

Things are getting more beautiful in #RealmsOfAncardia thanks due to the great decorations drawn by @ravenmore.pl - right now beautifying the character generation screen. Things are coming together in #roguelike #programming.

Hello all, hope you're doing well =) All good here!

I've been sitting on this since last week, almost forgot to post.
Character portrait creation concept for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

It may not end up looking that way, but it's a sweet idea anyway ;) #roguelike #rpg #pixelart

Here we go with development update 12 for #RealmsOfAncardia: www.roguelike.games/2025/09/11/r...

Posting will slow down a little with these updates as we currently work on many internal things that are not that exciting to report. Stay tuned nonetheless.

Good afternoon, hope you're all good =)

In the weeds today, composing UI, breaking it down into tasks.
@brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia progressing nice and consistent.

Hello, hope everyone is doing well :)

Here's a prototype portrait creator for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

Very oldschool UI :) It's on itch...but unlisted...is anyone even interested in trying it?

Good morning, hope you're all well.
Was moving house last week so pardon the lack of usual updates.

This week in #RealmsOfAncardia from @brannalbin.bsky.social : UI and Character generation. And portraits =)

Yes, with color and hair/beard styles eventually!

Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a good day :)

Tweaking colors a bit, aiming for a darker atmosphere and making sure the interesting parts are clearly legible.

After that, more UI pixels, as required.

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day :)

Pixelling monsters today for #RealmsOfAncardia. And to illustrate - an oldschool way of keeping track of sprites. Config file for beings has ~300 entries. Gods have mercy on us @brannalbin.bsky.social
