A quick screenshot from the 4-th area

I am slowly trying to make a sensible difficulty curve for the game (and it ain't an easy task). This area is all about chain-reactions and urgency, giving it an autumn vibe.

A preview of The Underfortress first level has been released on Patreon (paid).

What kind of game mechanic do the Bookmark Blocks add? And more important - what do the Owls know?

That's a good point of view, and fully agree on that one.

I thought more in the meaning of just being old. GameMaker was out in similiar time like RpgMaker. Two favorite tools during my growing up. It kind of feels out of date for me, like there are new engines that I didn't try to explore.

Yeah, it's Game Maker Studio 2 :>
Kind of outdated, but always wanted to make a game with it.

2024 limited tone dnd commission
a kenku sleeps contently, swaddled in a blanket in a yellow tent in a green swamp. their shield has darts sticking from it, their lute leans against the tent, and frog eyes gleam at them from the water.

Dungeon Archivist is a series of roguelike asset packs.
I had a game planned though that would round up the series as a finishing touch. Whether it's something that will see the day of light, time will tell :D

A crow kicks a small ball of snow. They then start rolling it into a larger ball while saying "trust the process...". They kick more snow into a pile and stick a branch in repeating "trust the process" to itself. They place small stones. They say "Phew!" and stand back to look at its creation, which we see now is a mess of a project that looks somewhat like a melted bird. The final panel the crow says "haha it's terrible".

#CrowBrella achievement graphics, at least some of them. One of the more enjoyable parts of #indiedev. And easter eggs of course!
:> Couldn't help myself not to add that one cameo.
