So many little numbers to fit in such a small space. Still trying to get it all in 😆. Rollover (not shown) does make it a lot more parseable obv. @lastkeep.com #indiedev #indiegame #roguelite #strategygame

We've been pushing hard the last couple of weeks for some live demos of @lastkeep.com at six.seattleindies.org/about/ this weekend.
I won't lie, my in-person demo skills are probably a bit rusty 😅

Finally changed some XML parsing on @lastkeep.com today. Relics are comprised of techs, but refs were by name to tech instances in other XML file. Gross, but we put up with it forever. Now the techs can be inlined. So much nicer to have the data in one spot. Easier to edit. Less bugs. #indiegames

#MotivationMonday #indiegames #roguelite #strategygame We are adding biomes to our Starmap in @lastkeep.com.

Here's an in-progress-not-done look at how we're showing those with an icon and some material effects (the smoke bits). Thoughts?

Hey it's #MotivationMonday
We're trying out a new mechanic for the Cobalt Expedition faction: Shields come from building shield generator stations rather than for "free". More generators == more/bigger shields. #indiegame #roguelite #strategygame @lastkeep.com

@lastkeep.com Check-in Explainer Day 3: We don't unlock resource extractors for a bit, so we added some 'compensatory' resource crates until extractors are unlocked. But that broke a very cool econ relic. Added a couple of extra effects to fix that. #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #strategygame

Cranking away on updates to our demo for Fleetbreakers @lastkeep.com We've gotten a lot of good feedback, excited to share another version here soon.

Side project remains sidelined given the focus on Fleetbreakers and our move to Seattle (which has been great overall).
