Ok so I can tap the deck to skip. But it took my a lot of random dragging around on my phone screen for that info to appear.

I’m very confused by my first game in my first run. I never player Nier Automata, so I don’t dislike it, but I don’t love it either. And I am also not super hyped to play it so I don’t want to pin it. Where do I drag it? I feel stuck already.

Happy to hear that! Our goal is to make mapmaking enjoyable and not a chore, kinda like playing The Sims. So we try to add as much playfulness as possible to the app :)

The issue with the objects being deleted when changing walls is definitely a bug by the way. We’ll look at it!

Oh I missed the patron post! Will definitely check it! The standard way to give feedback is to join our discord: discord.gg/TXqgtgdT6s

Also feel free to give feedback, especially on the multilevel aspect of Dungeon Alchemist. This is a new feature we only added a few weeks ago so we’re always looking to improve!

Amazing!

Interesting, but also kinda unfortunate that there’s so little knowledge sharing between the studios. The only people sharing stuff are inexperienced YouTuber influencers who never made a game.

I don't recall having an interaction with you? No idea where this is coming from, but it wasn't intended to be antagonistic.

If gdscript has no intermediate compilation step and is purely interpreted, I don’t see how it can ever be ready for the big leagues. It just won’t ever work out. I kinda assumed it would have some intermediate language compilation, like almost every other language nowadays.

To clarify, C# does a lot of this work automatically behind the scenes. It has the benefit of compiling to an intermediate language though, which means it can apply all kinds of automatic optimizations while doing it.

Wow, this is an eye opening thread, but not in the way I expected. It reveals that gdscript is absurdly slow and that the runtime really sucks, as 99% of these tips really would NOT make a noticeable difference in C# unless you were running that code millions of time per frame (not thousands).

But those were not arbitrary room shapes. There were severe limitations.

I think we have world first in this update with auto-generated roofs on any arbitrary shape you can come up with. Even The Sims doesn’t do this!

Very proud of what we did here.

We’re excited to announce the launch date of our next major update, Fun With Objects, Pt 1, is July 10, 2025!

This is the beginning of an entirely new era of Dungeon Alchemist!

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks as we reveal all the latest tools, features, and FUN coming your way!

Fun stuff. :)

This is how changing a roof style will work in the upcoming "Fun with Objects" update. 🙂 The Roofs sidebar menu is new.

Steam :: Dungeon Alchemist :: Fun with Objects - Release Announcement In this news message, we announce that we are splitting the Fun with Objects Update into two parts, one focused on the multi-level part and one focused on objects.

We know you’re all anxiously awaiting the Fun with Objects update.

After careful deliberation, we’ve split this update into two parts and hope to release the first part in early July this year.

Please read the full announcement on our Steam page for more info

Yeah sure but at this moment I have absolutely no idea when I will ever escape the Blue Prince maze yet! It keeps on throwing new layers at me.

I was mind blown when it happened

My Miro board for blue prince is bigger than anything I’ve ever made for any game.

I’ll be speaking about the procedural systems underpinning @dungeonalchemist.com tomorrow at @everythingproc.bsky.social! Looking forward to it :).

Totally!

"Have you done... like the pump room thing? You know... the thing? Oh doesn't mean anything to you? Please ignore my remark." is as far as the conversations go

But man is it hard to talk about to other players! The narrative unrolls so non-linearly that you never know what others have seen even if they played 10+ hours or even finished it like you did. What a game.

Why is there blood on the hydroelectric generator. I need explanations

Would this also explain why 3-5 people is a number a lot of board games gravitate towards as an optimal player count? And same for teams in videogames?

Due to financial difficulties, I am currently running a sale on my TTRPG Map commissions!

Need a custom map done? DM me, and I'll get it done in days! Now at 20% off!

Get in touch if you need some work done <3
