Life Altered - Ascension System + July 2025 Progress Report - Steam News Sometimes there are ideas in a game that must subsequently change all other games of the genre in the same direction. Like cross-hairs in shooters (didn't exist in Wolfenstein 3D or the original Doom)...

I'll share some thoughts on Ascension in roguelike games this #TurnBasedThursday

Why hasn't Hades ascension system not been widely copied yet?

Thank you for reading it! And I agree, I didn't eliminate consequence. I suppose I merely weakened it a bit.

This is inspired by the @jarmustard.bsky.social interview on the PlayDate podcast, which I can recommend even if you don't own a PlayDate.

Yeah, it's surprising how much goes into it. But it can be a nice change of pace from devving sometimes.

This #TurnBasedThursday I had a look back at my journey to find a visual style and a battle UI that I'm happy with. Easily the part I most underestimated before I began this game dev project.

Hello everyone! On this #TurnbasedThursday I'm trying to implement the vicious Sandbox Tree into my deckbuilder Life Altered. This tree basically shoots poisonous shrapnel grenades at you. I love nature!

Thank you for hosting! Looking good, everybody.

So, here goes, my first time participating ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm making Life Altered, a roguelike deckbuilder, played with dice, where your actions are based on the weird and wonderful animals and plants of planet Earth.
