Same, been on the fringes for a while now but I think I'll go the Mac route.

Closed the playtest last week and been busy implementing changes from players.

Art feedback was clear, the style is too safe for what the game and narrative. Graphical elements lack personality.

Broke away from the clean lines, drop shadows and smooth look.

What do you think?

Dash Dash Dead on Steam Dash Dash Dead is a fast paced turn based roguelike. In a televised bloodsport of the future, you are a death row inmate competing for a shot at freedom. Each episode, you're thrown into a new and dea...

In Dash Dash Dead you play a death row inmate in a TV show for a shot at your freedom! Like Deadman Wonderland or The Running Man, except you have a lot of items that scratch that specific power fantasy itch.

I took the feedback as a signal that the game is otherwise great, their only gripe is the UI, but it could be also a fundamental obstacle at the moment.

Thank you, that’s what I’m leaning towards too!

My UI is dogshit and my icons are pixel art placeholders.

Should I release a demo knowing that they are bad/unintuative and can potentially hinder enjoyment?

Difference is about a month of work to get UI into a reasonable spot.

I love what you did with the legs!

I gave over 50 people keys to my game.

While the game has a lot of room to improve, the last few weeks of polish paid off big time. There are people who played for over 5 hours!

There are 50 people who want to play my game.

I have decided that I will celebrate it because I did not imagine it to be this hard to get wishlists. If you think that’s a small number, while I don’t disagree with you, I have decided to be happy for today.

Wanna play some Warframe or D&D?

For those people who asked for a PARRY, fine. You win.

One of my favorite debug tools: SMALL MODE!

Seriously considering adding this as a fun easter egg unlock, just like Big head mode from the past.

Raining season starts soon, which means I get to see - feel - think about mud all the time.

Swamp/mud biome might come earlier than anticipated 😂

Feeling dizzy? Got the world spinning around you? No?

Don't worry, I got you covered!

Also it's taped for the audience. Where is your cut? Where the dude in the next room reaches you! GET GOING!

DASH DASH DEAD!

Scaling back feels weird. I’m not deploying a new build this week because I’m not happy with all the new stuff that went in. I could do partial updates for sure, but I’ve been doing this a bit intensely.

So now I’m trying to relax with the *** on my shoulder screaming i didn’t do enough this week.

I am responsible for the buttons I press

Part of the fun* comes from weird commit messages.

*not that funny when you are searching for an old version that had something working that's broken at the moment.

Wishlist to validate me in this journey of fun.

I found a crash.

Know exactly where & what the problem is.

I’m 4 hours away from my pc.

🥲

Uuuuuuu that’s oldschool!

I think I went full circle. There was a time when Dash Dash Dead had production ready code in prototype stage and there are the horrors I'm committing nowadays to move at incredible speeds.

Comments littered with:
- will fix later
- I know what I've done and I'm not proud of it

#gamedev #indiedev

Firing off builds to steam for the 5th time a day feels quite like this.

New animations are poring in and the build is looking cooler every day. This one is a professional Hunter, it warns you even!

Wishlist today, demo coming soon!

Besides the point but can’t you use @onready? I’m doing that for most stuff I have no idea when it’ll actually fully load.

Or if you feel weird, you could connect a function to a new signal that’s emitted when navmesh enters tree.

Not me living with the bad decisions I took to get the game running asap. Definitely not me trying to rewrite the last core system to make movement feel even better.

Absolutely for sure not me spending 2 all nighters trying to fix a crash that only happens on release builds.

*it’s me

Roguelike? Say no more!

That’s awesome! I’ve been interested in this model for a while now!

Really happy about how it turned out, especially the VO.

My first thought was “this needs a gun” … then a a gun showed up. Perfection.

#Gamescom is over!

Thank you everyone who said hi & played Dash Dash Dead. Seeing people play the game, the looks when it clicks or the confusion when it doesn't is humbling!

Demo coming soon, add it to your wishlist to stay in the loop store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/...
