@CodeRed_dev i've been saying this since forever lmao. i hate that people think just because an indie game is indie it can't be bad/derivative or that indie devs can't do no wrong
English

@CodeRed_dev This is a roguelike.
Picking cards to randomise a playthrough does not make a game a roguelike.

English

@CodeRed_dev You can find indie games of basically any genre, quit just looking at whats mainstream at the moment and you'll see.
English

@CodeRed_dev indie devs when they don't have one creative or useful bone in their body:
pixel art
2d
turn based
CARDS
English

@CodeRed_dev tormented souls, stardew valley, abiotic factor, balatro, decieve inc, hollow knight,schedule 1, shadows of doubt, subnautica,valheim , white knucle just out of the top of my head
English

@CodeRed_dev What if there was a roguelike fighting game, every move you get/unlock is random but you can always choose a basic kit to begin with
English

@CodeRed_dev I don't see why there aren't more making games like Parasite Mutant. Just a spiritual successor to Parasite Eve. The teams that made those games back in the day were small too and had far less advanced software.
English

@CodeRed_dev TBH, Roguelikes are a lot of fun & they seem to find different ways to make the R.L feel different.
English


@CodeRed_dev It doesn't help that roguelikes are a wibbly wobbly genre. XD
* Turn-based ASCII random dungeon crawler? Roguelike.
* Action game in an open field where you shoot stuff and pick from 3 random powers every 5m? Roguelike.
* Any random gen? Slight whiff of permadeath? Roguelike.

Fixed Function Studios@FixedFuncStudio

The FMV ends on a cliffhanger, part 2 is coming soon, when it is finished. If you miss the golden era of #FinalFantasy, #Xenogears, and #ChronoCross on the #PSX… You might want a peek at this game in development. #WishlistWednesday #HarbingersofDestiny #indiedev

@CodeRed_dev because roguelikes are awesome
i like roguelikes
i want more roguelikes
English

@CodeRed_dev I will be doing arcade design with is a sister genre of sorts
English

@CodeRed_dev But roguelikes are all different from each other. The Binding of Isaac and Aethermancer aren't even remotely close to each other, for example
English

@CodeRed_dev people will call their shit a "roguelike" if it has unlock-based progression mechanics. i miss when words meant shit
English

@CodeRed_dev Wrong, it's what Steam player buy. Customer is always right, etc. etc.
English

@CodeRed_dev I do both because I make what's fun 😌
English

@CodeRed_dev "Roguelike" means nothing . It's not a genre. Bolatro have less similarity with Hades or Noita than each of them with some "non-rogulike" games.
The only more meaningless word than "roguelike" is "indie" - solodev game with zero budget is indie same as Expidition 33
English


@CodeRed_dev Or you only follow who makes Roguelikes.
English

@CodeRed_dev Roguelikes are one of the simplest ways of solving the problem of replayability and content. A lot of what would be considered problems are taken as normal (metaprogression gating) and the random nature of it gets people into trying more runs to find "the fun".
English

@CodeRed_dev As a Roguelike fan, please make Metroidvanias or something else this is too much for me
English

@CodeRed_dev Roguelikes can be repetitive, small indie devs don't have the ressources to make a lot of content. Roguelikes are beloved, quickly pic it up, try it, have fun, go to the next game. The market is full of stuff, and that fits in this economy
English

@CodeRed_dev Rouge-lite it's just the simplest way to make poorly balanced game interesting. Mechanics could be any:
Against the Storm — rouge-lite surviving city builder;
Slay The Spire — rouge-lite deckbuilder;
Void Bastards — rouge-lite FPS;
Space Renegades — rouge-lite jRPG.
English

@CodeRed_dev Hey I’m innovative. Whats more innovative than a genre 40+ years old with over 10,000 games
Wishlist Wicked Boy@Gutterspawn
New mechanics drop: • Turtle riding via gust power 🐢 • Fishing up keys 🎣 • Unlockable chests 🎁 What else should I add to ponds scattered through out the levels? #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #platformer #retro #Steam #wishlist
English

@CodeRed_dev While I think there are great games that employ rogue like mechanics, I am so done with its ubiquity. Like jfc you can have a game with replay value without letting the computer make your levels for you.
English

@CodeRed_dev Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
It’s actually roguelike deck builders.
English

@CodeRed_dev That's true! @CodeRed_dev we also added a new
Mining Roguelike to this :)
