got my first A10 Silent clear!
bullet hell update:
Estimated we'd have levels working by the end of Feb, and that ended up being correct! Here's a quick demo put together by the designer
NEW FROM ME:
Glorbo the Wanderer
A traditional roguelike. Challenged myself to see how playable a Mystery Dungeon clone I could make in the span of a week for 7DRL.

10h and 10 runs into Slay the Spire 2, with a 70% winrate
2 new classes are fun, but they seem a lot weaker than Ironclad and Silent. Silent feels very overtuned; all the draw/discard synergies are very easy, consistent, and common. Graceful Charity with upside several times per turn every turn.
Thank you, it's a great entry!
Orcs and sword mimics tried to stop Glorbo, nevertheless, Glorbo ascended.
thank you for paying!
this is a big relief to see that it is actually winnable, did not have time to balance the late game
how hard is it overall? did it take many tries to beat?

StS2 dropping last 3 days of a game jam has been disastrous for me, to say the least
not a terminal app, it's love2D using the display module in rotLove

was planning on making something more out-there, but in the interest of scope I think I'll just see how much Shiren-like stuff I can implement in a week
might finally do 7DRL this year
not been posting about it since non-flashy dev posts do so poorly it's just not worth the effort to even make them
not posted about it in a while but the bullet hell development has been going smoothly
Most recently got boss phases and cave style slowdown working, and we're on track for full levels by the end of the month
oops!
turned out there were two films that didn't get added when I first posted this, so turns out I did actually hit my target of 200 movies in 2025!

idk if you had the same, but was very surprised to see a spike very specifically on christmas and boxing day
local PTCG singles shop had some YGO, picked up some retro staples
watched Deathstalker II (1987)
this has hands down got to be the best title card drop of all time
more bullet hell prototype work:
loading custom patterns at runtime
here's a quick pattern my brother made using the scripting tools
even has error-safe hot reloading!
