A turn based sci-fi #roguelike with mystery & depth, but with a casual twist, easy to pick up and play... can it be done??? Follow along (and perhaps wish-list) to find out. Pixel pushing by yours truly, code by High Wizard @thomashaaks.bsky.social

I do like to make games that have a degree of replay value. It should be fun to do multiple runs right?

Today's takeaways:

⚠️The game is hard and unforgiving.

⚠️There's a time and place for everything. For Roguelikes: here & now!

⚠️If it doesn't kill you, it probably will next turn.

⚠️If you know about Rogue (1980) you probably are the target audience.

While adding new content there's still time for minor improvements like turns counter or showing effects on player's HUD. Theralite is our #scifi #turnbased #roguelike, awesome #pixelart by @bahototh.bsky.social. Free demo on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3445690/...

An animated loop basd on the games of the ZX Spectrum 8 bit micro from the 1980s

This was made in photoshop and Blender and just a fun little tribute to my all time favourite home computer
