Traditional art I made of my OC, Wistaria! The style is a little messy and sketchy, using a brown brush pen and pink and purple markers. Wistaria is a youn woman shown in profile view from up above her elbows. She has bangs and a hair flick on the side. Wind is blowing her long, wavy hair to the side of the picture. The hair is lightly shaded in pink. She has on a headband made of pink flowers and a string connecting the section in the middle with those on the side. She is wearing a dress with t shirt style sleeves that have a pink stripe near the bottom. The top is somewhat squareish with a little bit of frill. She smiles gently, with maybe a hint of worry, as she looks to the viewer. Her eye is gently shaded in purple, and purple scribbles with the marker fill the background.

I took a couple markers and a brown brush pen to make this picture of Wistaria!

I ended up making a few in this kind of style, I hope you like it!! And have a wonderful day!! 😊🌸

Full version of #ruinsOfCalaworm lets you unlock difficulty sliders for tuning various mechanics.
Make it as easy or punishing as you want.
Default settings will be balanced around a fair median challenge, where I, as the all-knowing developer, can beat it consistently. 😌

New art style is now in the game, I'm actually happy with it (hopefully no more style overhauls 😅)

Character art still just a placeholder for now

Absolutely fantastic news!

Last February we hosted our @debugawards.com show, featuring several hours of games industry talks.

All of these were recorded, but due to a technical issue were lost… Or so we thought…

After over a year, the venue’s tech team have found a 4K backup!

Addressing UI feedback ...
When looking at the Map, you can filter stuff with Hotkeys (e.g. doors, locations, equipment, keys, barriers ...).
Now, when filtering equipment, you can also toggle a legend of explicit Equip CLASSES available in that region:

One of the things I find fascinating about the "you need to learn to use AI or you'll be left behind" crowd is that everyone I know who has been forced to use it has said that the only way to use it in a way that actually results in time savings is to know the field extremely well.

AI is a tool like the One Ring is a tool. It's tempting, it's powerful, and if you use it too much, eventually "they" will know who and where you are.
Your goals might be noble, you WANT to use it for good, but in the end it'll still corrupt you, while the Dark Lord grows ever stronger.

Here's some old-school dot art I'm putting out there. I'd be thrilled if you could drop your feedback below—I'd be as happy as getting an apple if you comment! Please share any suggestions you have!

90% of my bugs right now are because i put containers with things in them into the game.

enemies spawn from destroyed urns and aren't alerted to player presence. items disappear when a second urn is destroyed, etc.. it's funny how some things you implement involve so many edge cases!
