Good morning and thank you for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!!

I just launched the steam page for my retro dungeon crawling CRPG Chronicles IV!

It's some Ultima crossed with some Into the Breach with a dash of permadeath 😁

Chronicles uses a homemade emulation of the Tandy 3-Voice sound chip for all of its audio.

All sound and music are composed in a custom tracker tool I made for working with the 3V's channels!

I would print my qbasic out on the dot matrix and bring a stack of paper to school to give it to my friend so they could go type it in and see it at home which they declined to do

Chronicles IV: Ebonheim is a classic dungeon-crawling CRPG with a non-procedural world, nuanced character building, and brutal, turn-based tactical combat.

thank you for sharing it! The TIC-80 honestly looks so cool, I'm biased but I think branching out and trying other frameworks is so important. Game is so hard!! I did manage to get 1 loop eventually 😂 brain was not cooperating with fingers

sproqet by jonah-srg looping color collector

After a long jam hiatus, I am back and have submitted what is perhaps my most primitive game for this year's GMTK jam: sproqet
jonah-srg.itch.io/sproqet

I am simultaneously self-conscious and quite proud about this little thing, and I'll tell you why in a thread here.

wow, this hud! this is amazing. it has such a great sense of fine-featuredness and scale~! look at how they do the edge treatment on the masonry around the text fields. it has wonderful one-off details while still having a fair amount of symmetry.

Good morning! Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! I hope steam page announcement trailers count as screenshots.

Chronicles is like if Into the Beach had a baby with Divinity: Original Sin and that baby started partying with Richard Garriot

Glad you liked it! The process was fairly painless, I was honestly impressed with how much architecture they have to guide you through everything and keep it from being overwhelming.
