Tony (head pixel crusher) is very active in the Baltimore game dev community so I've gotten to know him, I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping you if you reached out.

A creepy puppet, Mr Magpie, sits across the table from you. He has dealt a bunch of cards face down to the casino-green board.

This fine fellow has been doing To The Flame speed runs (our horror rage platformer about moth endlessly seeking LAMP).

He even made a mod to do fancy speedrun time tracking to improve faster! I am honored.

This world record is crazy precise and satisfying to watch.

If you have the chance, id really recommend having a list of games you enjoy on your itch page, it helps others tremendously. Thats how i find most games, by looking at creators pages and seeing what they also like

a dungeon-meshi-like... a game about exploring a massive, winding dungeon, but the trick is learning its shape & ecology so you can navigate it w/o starving. red plants indicate a hidden spring. slime nests are a reliable food source. a guardian means stairs ahead, but spiders hint at a hidden route

Next time I run a roleplaying game, demon magic will work this way. Yes they do what you asked but also they're going to try to upsell you on some bullshit

I've recently started using @briangcronin.bsky.social's "black box sim" pattern for coding turn based games and one of the things I like about it is that the actions on screen reflect what is happening under the hood in a clear way. It makes it a lot easier to debug.
