Amalgamate by sunil. merge.

Amalgamate by sunil is an Alchemy-like roguelike. Reminds me a bit of Tripletown, though placement seems not a factor. It's really just figuring out which combos you can afford to make before the next mob turns up.

Shockingly simple fun.

Ping Bat by gruebite, Hekateras echolocation roguelike survival

#7DRL is on the move, 7DRLs are loose:

Ping Bat by gruebite is a mouse controlled ping-em-up where you're pinging to see prey, always scooting after the ghost of the thing you're trying to catch.

I've seen radar games before but not with the threat of faceplanting a tree

I couldn't find my game without using the weirdest genre tags all at the same time.

I'm not confident my next game will do better given that it's harder to categorize.

Good luck to all participating. Hope to try your games afterwards.

Thanks for letting me know. I've uploaded a new build, but since I cannot reproduce the issue I've no idea if it works :(

I appear to be invisible in Steam Next Fest's filters. Maybe it's not a roguelike after all.

In Path of Exile 2 the enemies simply out run you. You're forced to melee out of necessity.

Effects that slow or immobilise the player achieve the same goal. Ambushes also count.

Although, if you don't allow kiting in small doses you're removing all the fun of being ranged.

time doesn't function in any sort of linear way in this universe. it's not the vision of a futurist - but of a lost idealist, holding out hope that dream could some day be revived. that's why i feel like even stuff like this video are appropriate uses of BoC music www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ik1...

Programmers are Clerics not Wizards. No INT required, only WIS.

Not surprised that people are trying to go the Warlock route with a CHA build.

Whoa, click through to download the famed 2003 โ€œDirectors Labelโ€ DVD collections of music videos by the masters (Gondry, Romanek, Jonze, Corbijn, Cunningham, etc) with commentary & extras, seemingly uploaded by Directors Label for the 20th anniversary. Incredible resource!

Played in a D&D game recently where the door to the Big Bad's workshop required solving riddles to pass through.

Deeply disappointed we never got the backstory for why this door existed. I want to see the argument in the Door Shop that led to this choice and why it was cheaper than a lock and key.

Mostly games with high skill ceilings or, I guess, privilege ceilings (collectible card games) for vicarious or educational motives.

Then there's games that riff with the performing player, be it dunking on a janky game, jumpscares, or some other dialogue with the game.

If you have a big square grid then diagonals make traversal less of a chore.

However, diagonals allow to swap parity which you either compensate for somehow or just accept that combat has movement jank.

Which is why a lot of devs like hex grids, but they don't make the best maps to explore..

Save 60% on Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society on Steam On the outskirts of town lies a mansion said to house the entrance to a maze overflowing with treasure. Do you wish to discover the magical mysteries hidden inside?

Sales shout-out to Labyrinth Of Galleria. Lowest price ever. A Wizardry-style dungeon crawl by the Disgaea team, which means it is an absurd, maximalist monster with unhinged mechanics (kick down walls!) and you can have a 40-character party.

Also runs amazing/low-battery drain on the Steam Deck!
