Now we're getting somewhere... As for #palette – it will be a modified websafe (with bleak colours to match the #setting/#lore)

Switched back to "traditional" 32x32px #tiles for way too many technical reasons. First of all – a place for #sprite #animations of characters/objects to unfold naturally. Some shadow effects, as well as some #decor/#debree are to be placed as a second dithered layer.

Processed more than 30 different games (retro or styled mostly). Still a big fan of an approach where technical limitations produce enormous quantities of creative solutions by itself. Bitmap Brothers and PC98 dithering are still unmatched by many parameters.

War take it's toll on time and effort, so, as for now, just some #visual #references I've processed in the search for a distinct visual style for #Baroom. Part 1/4.

Some thoughts on #UI and #Magick #mechanics for #Baroom: just imagine a creature or an #NPC teared down to a bloody mess by… a telefragged #tile (or a fragment of a wall in a #tabletop version)!

No big updates since I've dedicated all free time to test and analyze different #gameplay #mechanics and #systems, as well as some decent #roguelikes. It seems like #d6 is really becoming a cornerstone for the #Baroom, yet with a twist: 6 is a contextual parameter, so there can be zeroes and 10s.

"There are endless rumors of a giant mysterious Pillar of an alien origin that just appeared inside one of the Subsectors causing Megastructure to break at some places hundreds of years ago. Somebody thinks it was a sign of impending doom, the Great End"

#Baroom Universe definitely wouldn’t be possible without listening to these beautiful fellas. I can’t recommend #Igorrr enough to all melomaniacs. This one’s definitely sets up the right mood for #Baroom

The #World of #Baroom: a vast #Megastructure around the long dead Sun, sprawling into space with its mechanical #nanotech tendrils. Corrupting the very material aspects of #reality, it grows indefinitely, plunging even into the neighboring universes with its unholy #frequencies...

Playing and analyzing different #rogulikes, including classics like #ADOM, #Angband, #dcss, #cdda, #coq a little in order to learn for #Baroom, and I found truly a gem that caught my attention: The Doors of Trithius! You can find it and support the #dev here doorsoftrithius.com

Some of my friends, which will be involved into the #playtesting of #Baroom showed me some cool similarities with @morkborg.com! I think #dark #gothic atmosphere and #metamodern is just in the air! We have to rethink our concepts of life and couple with existential/world processes, games are to help

Third iteration of #character #attributes for #Baroom: PHYS, FLEX, MIND, WILL. These main aspects will influence #skills as well as many #modifiers and #checks.

#Baroom Player Character aspects and #characteristics as well as basic #stats. As for now I favour #d6 #system for all the stats and critical #checks, as well as influence on the #skills and #skillcheck calculations.

The basics of the #roleplay #system and game #mechanics for #Baroom: it unites #agnosticism, #alchemy, #Tarot and some #Bardo aspects of the #Vajrayana #Buddhism as well as grounds up all the stuff for the #game Universe.

There will be no traditional #levelup in #Baroom: you upgrade many things similar to #soulslike games with your obtained resources (such as Nanites or Blood), but your influence on the world results in having a #Tarot #Arcana Status, that depicts your "danger level" and works as a #regalia

Some featured parameters:
Psychic State, Pain Level
HP, Pain
Stamina, Hunger
#Baroom Magick system is quite dependent on... Pain! It doesn't matter whether the Pain is yours or someone else's — there are some things that DEMAND it...

#Prototyping #Baroom #ui for the local map state/main gameplay. The goal is to have as less clutter as possible yet to preserve some classic #roguelike features like #autolog. Lots of iterations ahead! All processes are in parallel, and it is easier for me to do it this way smh

#Baroom inventory system #WIP, actively in #sketch and #prototyping! And yes — the plan is that a Player character can have more than one pair of limbs...

Even more stylistic and art-direction progress on #tiles #pixelart #graphics for #Baroom. At last it takes the shape and feeling I want. Still have even not a freakin’ idea how I will #code all supposed mechanics… But the Creation itself will show, no doubts at all 🙏🏻

Many thanks to @hauntedpicnic.bsky.social for his research, videos, and interviews! Very handy while thinking on the details of the whole #setting and #universe of #Baroom. Finally, get a whole picture of the #rpg system, characteristics, skills, including Magick, and some handy quirks.

Now I'm getting somewhere in the terms of #pixelart #tiles style for #Baroom. Took many inspiration from old #anime styled legacy #videogames for PC-98 (correct dithering is quite a demanding technique). Getting a good felling that I'm moving towards a proper direction.

The very idea of #Baroom begun from this little #sketch I've made under my flashlight. I've felt too excited to just let the idea go: to mash up Tsutomu Nihei, mangas #BLAME!, #Biomega, #ABARA and Q Hayashida's #Dorohedoro, and set it all up in the eons far future of the parallel universe

Some initial #tile #art tests for #Baroom
Despite some help from LLMs for the bigger pictures of #Baroom — all #tile #art is a #pixelart carefully made by hand! With #pixelart I can have some meditative fun even while in a temporary #shelter under russian bombings, inspiring local kids to do something interesting themselves 🙏

AI is helpful in crafting #Baroom, but yet every single generated pic is updated and slightly (ok, sometimes NOT slightly) remade and adapted by hand to best fit the spirit of the #lore
A statement about art: currently I use some #ai to make big portraits or environmental arts, yet their concepts are of my own making. I'm a single dev/artist that is surviving one of the biggest modern wars, and this is a hobby projects after all. Also, #Baroom is heavily about #ai gone wrong, so...

The #lore and basic system/rules of the #Baroom will be available under #creativecommons License so you can dive into a #grimdark mix of #BLAME and #Dorohedoro with your friends in a tabletop #version.

BAROOM: A Realm Of Clarketech and Black Magick
Being in blackout again in the #Ukraine — I've decided that my old laptop is good enough for #roguelike s, but I didn't find the proper one for years. So... I've decided to make one myself! Meet (actively in dev) #Baroom ! #gamedev #solo My deepest nod to the genius of Tsutomu Nihei! and #Metamodern
