RubyDev

Well both, I am basically rewriting Tiny Rogues for it to be better, faster and can do more:
* Localization
* Mid-run saving
* Easy modding
* New enemy bullets (would have to go over all enemies anyways)

and much more

Update: The test object moves around. We are 1 step closer to projectiles being back in the game. 😅

The behavior actually comes from a custom XML script, and yes, modders (and you) will be able to write and import their own behaviors.

It's going to be as easy as writing the file and putting it into a folder.

Satisfying editor visualization 😌

Watching these shows every year I wonder repeatedly: Will consumers ever get bored of being sold sexualization?

I like to joke "oh another weeb game" (games with same cute/sexy waifu after waifu) but I'm really overall burnt out by this in every art style.🥲

Please sell me a game not eye candy...

I'm in your boat, what do we do against it?

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit

No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

i want more trailers for cheaper productions made by people who are deprofessionalized more to talk less

@n0rtist.bsky.social do you do commissions? I'm a game developer and looking for somebody with your skillset, love all your illustrations and style.

is there any way to contact you?

there is actually no order. it just looks up recursively and keeps a list of every effect already considered so that way it can't go on infinitely (that's the guard that prevents crashing the game)

other than that, I just try to design the game in a way where this this doesnt happen

The first time the full rewrite shows it's features:
Resource effects can now scale with other modifiers!

In this, the Ruby Ring grants Hearts for each Glass Heart you have. (no description yet)

The fill value of each heart is saved in it's "expanded" state.

I think it works... 🔍

Might become a handy SteamDeck accessibility feature if nothing else!

Been laying some new foundation for modding and localization.

The game can now load "OS installed"-fonts.

Only the most sophisticated tiny rogues play with 𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝙽𝚎𝚠 𝚁𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗.

What question should I ask Esty?

(His experimental FAQ seminar stream thing is live rn btw. if you are a dev and interested.)

New of the day: I just dynamically loaded Comic Sans into Tiny Rogues as a font.

it's looking pretty good that custom fonts will be supported and also +-20% font size setting possibly

I don't think what's happening to that game is considered review-bombing.

For sure!

Also: Some community members on the Discord won "design an item with RubyDev" last year and I wanted to say in public that I have not forgotten about those.

We will sit down and make those when next patch is in playable state! 💝

In general, I'm still not quite happy with a lot of content creator easter-eggs.
I think in 2025 I can do a better job at making something speaking to the content creator than in 2022.

Who's your favorite content creator that doesn't have an ingame easter-egg yet?

Most of them were meant to be converted into active skills, but the creation of new skills got pushed back after other things took priority. (and the skill system in general needed/is in need of more iterations)

FYI: an update last year temporarily removed some weapons and traits. This including some content creator Easter-eggs.

A lot of "iconic" stuff is missing right now, but be assured those will be re-added later.

Examples: Goat Force, Frozen Orb Wand, Meteor Scroll,...

Star⭐Vaders is the first ever deck-builder I played and it had a steep learning curve for me. Took me like 20 runs to get my first win but now I am cruising. 🥰

This game is an absolute blast, can recommend! 👾💣💥
