off-piste by conornally Danger of Avalanches!

This is the first game I ever made; it has been sitting in my dev folder for nearly a decade. I figured it was time to publish

Off-Piste, a simple arcade game about carving down a hill, avoiding obstacles and outpacing an avalanche

Hey! Apenas descubro esta utilidad y me viene de perlas para un bashcrawllike que estoy haciendo para mi hijo. Los efectos de blood_splatter en rojo y poder colorear el nombre de cada monstruo es genial.
Una duda tengo: se puede hacer algo parecido al crear files con touch o son outputs estΓ‘ndar?

Excited to get back to Delve development after #7DRL and (a bunch of prep work leading up to 7DRL) #roguelikedev

Adventure, but the plot is kinda randomly generated on the go.
What was going to be some days of work, is looking like a bottomless pit now.
If #Bash can be considered a programming language then I could be a programmer someday, @conornally.bsky.social πŸ˜‚

Go down to the entrance to win) Plus several levels underground, cellar and cemetery included.
One big cherry on top would be if I can have the game randomly choosing the rooms, even if they have to be, obvsly, manually described.
I want it to be like one of those books of choose your own...

...it works, but my Castle Of Doom bashcrawlike is already heavier by 2 mb. Encounters are totally randomized, also is loot. Ofc.
The goals are: minimum 100 different monsters, hundreds of lootable items, 25 floors above the ground (you have to climb up to the highest tower in the Castle and...

So, I downloaded #BashCrawl to see how it works under the hood, to get inspiration (not a variant this time eh) for my Bash teaching textbased project, for my little kid. The one who thinks I'm a programmer. Well. After a week of work, have not even unzipped Bashcrawl, have no clue on how...

Alright, I have a few hours left but I think I'm too sleepy to make any more progress so we're calling this game jam a wrap! I've uploaded my last build to itch.io and unless there's a serious bug I won't do any updates while evaluation is going on. #7drl

#roguelikedev shootout to _that_ notebook you take everywhere to scribble down ephimeral ideas to your games... Bc if you wait to get home, that idea is a goner... And that is really uncool. But no, that does not make you a programmer πŸ˜‚ @conornally.bsky.social
