Weapon Focus makes the Crusader very comfortable with his fist.

Wait, no.

So begins a 1000 tiny UI refinements! img1: Oct 1, img2: today

100 Rogues' primary goal has always been to make the Traditional Roguelike genre more accessible and newbie-friendly. A minimalist, easy-to-read interface with clear labels is essential to that goal.

I've got a traditional Roguelike cooking, with emphasis on tactical abilities in 4 RPG class skill trees and multi-use items.

Thanks for the call to action!

Remaining work before the Demo is released:

10 Tutorial steps to implement
14 Known Showstopper Bugs
4 Known Medium Bugs
5 Known Cosmetic Bugs

When all but the cosmetic bugs reach zero, I'll send a build to QA (my buddy, Jeff). When he can't find any non-cosmetic issues, the Demo will ship!

Had an amazing time getting to meet old and new fans at the expo yesterday!

Got a ton of great feedback and a clear heading on how to make the biggest, best improvements to our UX. Counting down the months to release!

RIT's yearly game festival on campus. I'm looking into other festivals this year and next, though, so I'll hopefully have another to share soon!

Realized I didn't have a spare usb-b cord for a second Xbox setup at the booth, so had to add ps5 controller support real quick.

One line of code! Whew 😅

Ready to go, though! See you at RIT in 2 hours!

The game is just one week away from its first public appearance since 2015.

When you think of the original release, what's the first thing that springs to mind?

100% accurate: we love all Rogueli*es here.

But also, I doubt you'd find a single opinion that 100 Rogues is anything other than a #Roguelike 💅

Presentation slide: What is a roguelike game vs roguelite
1) Doesn't matter
2) Who cares
3) Marketing department's problem
4) Not yours

Gamepad support moved a lot slower than anticipated, missing the opportunity to post Screenshot Saturday. So, uh... #MenuMonday ?

Our artist continues crunching cutscenes, but I was able to make a few simple changes that make the main menu look leagues better. Before / after. Feedback welcome!

Still 8 months from release and we've already got our first review.

It's accurate!

Same great logo, now in Vector format and ready to print for t-shirts, banners, posters, ancient runes, skywriting, side shaves, etc.

My slightly more complete thoughts about difficulty, as the game's programmer

For emphasis, I am staying in my lane and guaranteeing the designer's original balance is pristine and uncompromised on Normal Mode.

But, Easy mode? That's for me

Regarding Difficulty — 100 Rogues

I’ll be totally honest, here. I’m bad at videogames. I’m especially bad at roguelikes. You’d think that programming these monsters, looking over their stats day in, day out, would give me a solid leg ...

100 Rogues will be making it's first public appearance since 2015 here!

Hope to see some of you there!
