Screenshot collage from the #TurnBasedThursdayFest Steam sale, showing games sorted into sections like Squad-Based Strategy (XCOM-likes), Strategy / Tactical RPGs, Roguelikes, Creature Collector, jRPG, cRPG, more RPGs, and many others.

Ever get tired of looking for roguelikes & only finding deckbuilders? Love cRPGs but not jRPGs? Too much overlap in Steam tags?

We're trying something new in our Steam Sale this year, a "genres" tab with all 450 games sorted into ONE best-fit genre each.

New roles for GearHead Caramel mecha: EWar Support, Engineering, Recon, Security, Artillery, Assault, and Comms.

Adding new mecha roles to GearHead Caramel and matching roles to pilot skillsets in the random unit generator. I don't think there are any Comms meks yet, and only a few EWar and Engineering ones, but that's just a reason to add more meks. #ghrpg #GameDev store.steampowered.com/app/1565090/...

#7drl day two for my Karate Deck Building game ! I added new cards and tested guard/multi hit/projection mechanics. Each cards have specific ranges. Soldiers now retaliate 😬

I've spent eons overhauling Roguefort to make it an open world roguelike inspired by Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress, and UnReal world.

The Monster Tamer paradigm can tame and catch any monster in the game (except bosses). I tuned it to be an expensive but powerful build investment. I even added some specific ability synergies between monsters and humans. #tacticsrpg #srpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity
