Things are getting more beautiful in #RealmsOfAncardia thanks due to the great decorations drawn by @ravenmore.pl - right now beautifying the character generation screen. Things are coming together in #roguelike #programming.

Hello all, hope you're doing well =) All good here!

I've been sitting on this since last week, almost forgot to post.
Character portrait creation concept for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

It may not end up looking that way, but it's a sweet idea anyway ;) #roguelike #rpg #pixelart

Here we go with development update 12 for #RealmsOfAncardia: www.roguelike.games/2025/09/11/r...

Posting will slow down a little with these updates as we currently work on many internal things that are not that exciting to report. Stay tuned nonetheless.

Good afternoon, hope you're all good =)

In the weeds today, composing UI, breaking it down into tasks.
@brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia progressing nice and consistent.

Hello, hope everyone is doing well :)

Here's a prototype portrait creator for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia

Very oldschool UI :) It's on itch...but unlisted...is anyone even interested in trying it?

#roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello there, hope everyone is doing well this fine Monday!

Quick example of @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia character portrait system in all it's glory, including the usual (and unusual) #rpg #roguelike cast of races

Yes, colors are editable.

Good morning, hope you're all well.
Was moving house last week so pardon the lack of usual updates.

This week in #RealmsOfAncardia from @brannalbin.bsky.social : UI and Character generation. And portraits =)

Yes, with color and hair/beard styles eventually!

Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a good day :)

Tweaking colors a bit, aiming for a darker atmosphere and making sure the interesting parts are clearly legible.

After that, more UI pixels, as required.

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day :)

Pixelling monsters today for #RealmsOfAncardia. And to illustrate - an oldschool way of keeping track of sprites. Config file for beings has ~300 entries. Gods have mercy on us @brannalbin.bsky.social

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day.

All good here. Pixelling some things today, and in the meantime enjoying @brannalbin.bsky.social 's cheat menu.

Definitely some life-changing cheats here :-0

Pardon the experimental color pixels.

Interesting. The world map in #RealmsOfAncardia no longer is flat. What do you think?

(ignore the stupid text log)

And thanks once more to @zenorogue.bsky.social for the original implementation idea in bsky.app/profile/zeno... and to @ravenmore.pl for suggesting to use this in #RealmsOfAncardia.

Done!

Inspired by @zenorogue.bsky.social 's post about globular ASCII projections (my words) in bsky.app/profile/zeno... I tried that for #RealmsOfAncardia but I guess I have no talent at anything but rectangular 2D maps 🤪

And some little impressions of what little bit of #gameplay exists right now for my new #roguelike #BlobRL:

Added a page for my latest sidetrek #BlobRL (while the main focus of work remains #RealmsOfAncardia) - but the blob is too cute to not talk about :-)

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a lovely day!

Lots of boring UI things this week, but I did manage to take a look at a more realistic Ancardian map for @brannalbin.bsky.social

Wanted it to feel more like a real place...

Have a great weekend! =)

For BlobRL definititely. For Realms of Ancardia I'm also using AI, e.g. to faster learn MonoGame programming and help me with complex graphical operations. Not using AI IMHO is madness and the road to irrelevance in the very near future.
