Hyper Light Breaker update is live!
This is a HUGE update, changing a lot. April has been a busy month for me.
Looks great! I am following this with a lot of excitement ๐
I have always wanted to create (and play) a game where you grow a tree similar to this. Will play this when I can, and might one day create a ๐ฒ growing game ๐
I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:
If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.
Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover
Yeah, the old Starbreeze days, 15+ years ago. Everyone looks a bit older now haha. Great bunch of people!

He's dressed in armor while she wears a thick tunic with a fur collar and fur-lined bootsies. She's warming her hands at a fire she just set, face full of mischievous joy as she retells her latest tales of heroics, speaking of bloody battles with ginormous beasts in strangely gorey detail -- all the work of a 11 year old, of course. While her father, used to her delusions of grandeur starts nodding off, simply making smalls "Aha"s and "Mhm"s while her far too loud voice carries across the snow

Hyper Light Breaker is updated!
We now have an experimental branch. I love working on it! Takes me everywhere in the code and content, for various experimental features, and game flows. Read the instructions to access it.

Lots of interesting stuff that I am currently working on for the coming updates ๐
Here's a really cool starter pack if you are interested in procedurally generated maps, terrain, levels, caves, ...
I am working on a bunch of stuff related to this myself, and will share when it's ready for daylight. And Hyper Light Breaker has proc generated maps already!

Here's the book cover.
The book is about a red ball of yarn that rolls until there's only a stump left. Then a kid comes along and rolls it up again.
I absolutely adore this concept and the art style.
A couple of times every week my 3 year old currently wants me to read a book called "Rulla, rulla lilla nystan" ("Roll, roll little twine ball"), and it reminds me so much of this. Hopefully we can play Twine together ๐งถ
And @hippowombat.bsky.social this seems like a starter pack that you would love!

I would love to be added to it. Working with Hyper Light Breaker and procedural levels at Heart Machine to some extent. As well as soon(tm) on my own solo project that I will be able to share cool information about eventually.
Itโs one egg Suzen, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?

And thank you for sharing the link. Going to try and make time for this course. It's in the backlog at least ๐
So true! But at the same time, I think games are more needed now than ever before. Some escapism is healthy, we all need to unwind, and playing games is great way to do so.

Exterior and interior concepts for an old rundown bar with stained glass. Inside is a smokie dive with lots of plants and hanging cages for different creatures.
Exterior and interior concepts. The exterior building shows a broken-down green metal building covered with pipes and tiled skull murals. The Interior is dark and lit by glowing cabinets and computer terminals, wires hang from ceiling and lay across the old metal floor.
Here are some concepts for shops for the #HyperLightBreaker hub world. I used the drifter designs to influence these so they would all feel like part of the same world. The tile mural is a little nod to the beautiful pixel artwork done in Drifter. Next week, some enemy concepts! #ConceptArt #GameDev
