Currently working on NET.CRAWL. A deck building roguelite that uses hexes instead of cards and has a strong focus on boss fights/unique victory conditions.

I'm 6 hours in on this one and it's still fun.
Highly recommend.

Denis Buslaev @obsoleteone.bsky.social · 17d

Loved the demo on this one.
Of all games that I've played recently this is by far the least surprising 100% positive.
It's tasty.

"We are considering adding borders to this particular level. Safety first!

Oh, my. Now I can see it too.
This must be a sign. Two signs to be exact.

When the new location is trying a little too hard to be cool.

reminder: not all shaders work with sprite atlases correctly.

Very enjoyable playtest run. It's notable that when I look at the list of defeated cores at the bottom I can recall at least one interesting situation in every single level.
I should be able to update the playtest tomorrow. #NET_CRAWL

Found a folder on my pc named 'xxx'.
Turns out it contains a broken save file from a tester.
Slightly disappointed.

It only took a 1000 tasks (and multiple people, and 4000 commits, and it's still not done) #gamedev #indiedev

And, apparently, the board for the prototype from the pre-production times has another 784 tasks in DONE.

If each task took only a second it still would be 46 mins to count all of them.

Denis Buslaev @obsoleteone.bsky.social · Sep 11

Additionally, we have ~500 tasks in DONE on our dev board. And another 500 across 2 Art boards (one is for concepts only shared with a freelancer).

Hit 1000 tasks in DONE on the Kanban-board today. #indiedev #gamedev
