will be first to get it, it's just not fun yet sadly

for the initial sketch adding Praise Humbaba! and Praise Mardok! into the category of life

I was welcomed to their meal of spiced eagle-flesh, and given water for my clattering gourds, and we partook in the smoking tree, whose tangy sprigs climbed the mountain-wall in the soft lavender of the emptying light, light that walked through the stones like a person, a friend.

rat-kind, fallen to lostness

part of the "world generation" is the computer doing turns before the player appears

I think I dreamt it which is sadly true too often these days

also if I'm remembering you did a really cool Irga that I spent like 2 hours searching for yesterday to no avail

Damn! This one?

so damn peak

thanks dude, was actually thinking about the beast guy you did the other day

have to cook up a bunch of skill trees before pinning down the demo version

adding these guys in reminded me that I've been thinking about the flame swordsman for 20 years

more folk for the Acts - once these all get entered in I'll have some cool little tech trees to show

a cyclops of mehtar

beasts were a fun entry point but now I want to do the expected plant stuff

it's really one of the big virtues of early access, not all games need this but I definitely couldn't have ended up with the game I did without 100's of people interacting with it in ways contrary to my unconscious play patterns

hell yeah

added them in as one of the "act paths" available to anyone, which I'm thinking can function as ways to establish the atmospheric texture of the world as well -- the Beasts are about hordes of tough units, gaining food, enhancing allied armies, and destroying your own cities

thinking about "beasts" as ancient illustrations, in anti-taxonomy, inchoate form or as the fervent aspect of Life

Rightsizing my team of monkeys due to rising typewriter costs and sunsetting Hamlet at Act I Scene II

some poison vibes

cool design here

more UI work, clicking to move along a path

Haha nice beat me to it

A new dev I’ve been following just put this out in early access, it’s got really cool science-fantasy sensibilities and is a fully traditional roguelike for anyone interested. The speed at which they work is also very inspirational
