Im back. While testing the game during the break I found out that the role system feels too opaque and downright unfair. Rework a lot of the stats to fix this. Gotta make the game good in time for the steam next fest, which is just around the corner :S #indiegames #steam

I've been fairly quiet lately, but for a good reason: I have basically overhauled the entire game, completing it with a functional ui and a tutorial. I'm attending the february steam next fest, and a lot of stuff is still to be done, but I'm hopeful I'll manage. #indiedev #steam

Implemented a couple new encounters. One is a mysterious golden potion which acts as an emergency heal. In the other one you can look at food pictures to make Shadey hungry, but with a chance to be scared by a soyjak (which will damage Shadey). #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike

Yet another new encounter -- the mimic. He demands two ingredients with a specific Symbol, and in return gives Shadey a powerful piece of equipment. If you don't want to feed the greedy thing, you can simply force the mimic open (at the cost of some health). #gamedev #indiedev

Working on new encounters. This here is the gambling wheel. You can spin it for a chance to gain gold, equipment, food or Nothing. I had to re-record this clip five times because I pulled nothing lol. But as they say, 99% of gamblers quit before they win big. #indiedev #indiegame

The most challenging thing about creating levels for Shadey's Quest is not coming up with fun and unique room topologies. Its making sure I don't accidentally draw a swastika with the paths. I triple-check each level but they just keep popping up lol. #indiedev #gamedev

I've added beds to Shadey's Quest. You can sleep on them to heal or you can jump on them to become hungrier (meaning you can eat more food). I haven't added the actual sprite for the bed yet, so the Grandpa Bed from Stardew Valley serves as a placeholder. #indiedev #gamedev

Sooooo I haven't posted in a while. I've been hard at work, reimagining and improving just about every aspect of Shadey's Quest. Take ingredients, for example. Cooking food is supposed to be fun, but it lacked any depth. I've addressed that, adding cool mechanics to ingredients.

For over a month I have been quiet, busy working on one of the most crucial features out there. Finally, it is done. I present to you.... The Loading Screen! (actually I've just been busy with my phd thesis but im also done with that for now) #indiedev #loading #gamedev

The first level – Greylands – is a barren wasteland with suspiciously petrified corpse-shaped rocks. Only the weakest Shadows still live there. But otherwise it's a pretty nice and wholesome place. :) #indiegame #indiedev

Here is the Exiled Captain (on the right). He is one of the first enemies I designed, but easily one of the coolest. As a solodev, I'm very restrained in how complex my art and animations can be. But I'm still trying my best! #WishlistWednesday #roguelike

In Shadey's Quest you can get a bunch of cool equipment. For instance, it can make his attacks inflict poison, or enhance his Vampirism grant him Damage. You'll have to pick which equipment suits your Shadey best. #showcaseThursday #indiedev #roguelike

Combat in Shadey's Quest is automatic (largely inspired by Loop Hero), but with some tactics involved: you can choose a target for Shadey based on his strengths, making him focus that one pesky debuffer or healer that is countering your build. #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Ме: I wish I knew how to hashtag this marketing post for my videogame. The ever-helpful X algorithm:

This here is the cooking screen, where you match ingredients to raise Shadey's stats. I don't know any game with a similar mechanic (the closest thing would be the team composition in autochess), so I had to work hard to make this screen both intuitive and fun. #indiedev #cooking

I have updated the steam page for Shadey's Quest, my autobattler roguelike. Shadey is a cute monster, who is only really good at eating. Guide him through the diverse fantasy world, feed and equip him to make him strong and help him defeat the fearsome King of Shadows!

Added a highlight effect for when you hover over stat icons. It looks pretty simple, but was surprisingly tricky to get right. Also, can you guess what each stat does? I've tried to make the stat icons as intuitive as possible. #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike
