Here's what I love about indie dev. I post features that didn't exist yesterday. You tell me if it works or not. No big studio. No focus groups. Just me posting work-in-progress and you telling me what you think. I'm building a first-person roguelike called Paper Rogue. Right now it's MVP. Demo coming soon. Your comments shape what goes into the game. We make it together, in public. Thank you for being here. Wishlist to follow the journey, link in bio #indiegamedev #indiegame #rpg #roguelike

@earth__sophie Thanks a lot! In our dungeon, darkness isn't empty it's something you have to listen to… and sometimes fear.

@paper_rogue Brilliant design! Turning darkness into a mechanic where you must listen for danger creates magnificent tension.

Darkness in Paper Rogue isn't just atmosphere. It's your enemy. You search for torches on the walls to push it back. When you can't find one, you stop seeing and start listening. Footsteps in the dark mean something bad is coming in seconds. You should have your weapon ready. We made darkness look like this on purpose. Does it creep you out or does it make sense?

@CGS_indie if you are talking about stylised font, the answer is YES! currently we are working on it!

@paper_rogue Also. Have you ever considered some type of stylized for? Just thought that could maybe add to the feel

@CGS_indie Thanks a million! Really appreciate it! The idea came from paper prototypes when we were in the concept phase. We actually used paper mockups for prototyping and were surprised to find that it played really well.

@paper_rogue Man. I love this atmosphere so much. You are one of the few accounts I actually have notifications turned on for hahaha. Where did this idea come from originally? What's the inspiration?

What is better: sword or bow? With a bow, enemies never even reach you. Cold, calculated, a little cowardly — but it works. With a sword, it gets messy. Up close, personal, extremely satisfying. Every run in Paper Rogue starts with this choice. And somehow it never gets old.

@playmygamesnow Thanks! Glad you like the style

@paper_rogue This art style is Fuego sir

Come on, name one other game where you can just walk up to a puddle and take a sip! In Paper Rogue the dungeon is full of monsters, loot, chests that bite back, and apparently drinkable puddles.

The Mimic in Paper Rogue has one job: eat you. He's very good at it. Fighting him costs you everything — health, stamina, nerves. But I made him tough, not unbeatable. Watch the video below and don't forget to grab the paper scraps and loot after — in this case the chest dropped a very useful key. Paper Rogue is made by two people. If this looks like your kind of dungeon, wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4298130/Pa… #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike #rpg #dungeoncrawler #indiegamedev

@kumade_v_canade Thanks! It is a controlled darkness, which is also part of the game. So, you need to take the torches off the walls so that the black fog recedes

@paper_rogue This black “fog” looks kind of weird but good job in general 👍

On top of regular goblins, who are already pretty unpleasant, my dungeon has sling goblins. They don't just fight up close, they throw rocks at you from a distance too. Harder to deal with, but not impossible. In this video I take down four of them with one sword, timing potions to keep health and stamina up. Hot fight, and very satisfying when they finally shatter into pieces. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4298130/Pa… #indiegame #indiegamedev #roguelike #rpg #dungeoncrawler

@cowingday Thank you

@paper_rogue The paper-style elements look delicious.

@ComebackgameDev Haha, true! We’re standing on the shoulders of those old giants

@paper_rogue Very old school in that way, not to sound like an old man but in some older games you'd only know basic controls from reading the booklet

Some games tell you what to do. Paper Rogue just puts you in a dungeon and lets you figure it out. Monsters, loot, surprises — all of it in the video below.

Barrels in my game burst into paper scraps so nicely you punch them anyway. Some barrels have loot. Some have mice. You never know until you try. Paper Rogue — wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4298130/Pa… #indiedev #roguelike #dungeoncrawler #rpg #indiegame #indiegamedev

@vicenzo_comp Great idea with rips, thank you!

@paper_rogue You could add rips and tears to the enemies as they lose HP

What could be more satisfying than killing an enemy with a sword? I know one thing: collecting paper scraps after a successful fight and earning experience points. I want Paper Rogue players to enjoy the sound of picking them up. It's like popping tiny bubbles.

@foxxy_nora Thanks! Yeah, those were my thoughts while developing: there should be various attack animations

@paper_rogue cool, u can add more than 1 attack animation, like a 3-hit combo maybe

@TheAspenDev Thanks a lot! We plan demo at the end of April 26 (but wishlists are available now)

@paper_rogue When the demo is available? Looks very promising!

I finally let the dungeon have some color. Took me longer than I'd like to admit. Here are 25 seconds of Paper Rogue in a real dungeon. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4298130/Pa… #gamedev #rougelike #rpg #dungeoncrawler #steam #indiegame #nidiegamedev

@ExplodinBeef Haha, I didn’t even think of the vampire vibe

@paper_rogue Can't wait to play it myself! Wait why did you just drink the blood? ohhhh that was a spilled potion... yeah need this.

@BasedBroseph Appreciate you mentioned that!

@paper_rogue Really like how bright and visible stuff is.
