We're making Edge of Akestor! A #roguelike inspired by Slay the Spire, One Step From Eden, and Battleship.

Story was going to be a small part of my game but now I'm too excited for everyone to get to know these characters! So proud of my artist!

Lots more like this to come, so follow!

My partner keeps asking me, "how is this useful for making our game?"

HELP.

@shaunspalding Pick up a banjo and get to work.

Here's a little visualization of a simple sorting algorithm, with a touch of colour!

Might use this sorting logic for a WIP card "Handle Fate" that will stack your deck highest mana or damage value to lowest!

Sorry if this video is a bit grainy, it is composed mostly of sand after all.😆

This hourglass was surprisingly hard to make work this well! But it's quite satisfying to watch now, and I learned a lot!

If this puzzle tried to solve itself once each second by
making a new configuration it would take (up to) 12.2 years to solve itself.

Of course, if the computer wasn't an IDIOT it would take like 23 seconds.

Did you know there's 2²²⁴ potential layouts of a 14x16 black/white grid? I think anyway. I'm terrible at math.

In this WIP minigame you use your mouse to traverse that infinity back & forth!

@AlexanderTerp Looking good! It's been very neat to watch your progress.

Although you did say you're done with gameplay, I was thinking a brief pause+visual indication of which lines are cleared when you get a line could be another good thing to implement, adds a lot of readability to gameplay

Recently started learning #gamedev. First learning project is a Tetris clone, this is what it looks like after having worked on it for a week!

Video of drawing your opening hand in our game! Which speed do you like the most?

(Video showcases side-by-side comparison, then slow->medium->fast hand drawing.)

Working on some of the code for holding cards in your hand! Still needs work, but I'm super excited to have a working prototype of combat with lots of cards soon! Everything's coming together!

@RecombobulatorG Thank you! Our artist is flattered.

[AkestorDev @AkestorDev]

Final version of Cammie's shop is here! This little sleepy potion seller has all sorts of awesome stuff for you to buy.

2/4 shops are done now, super excited!

The Merchant's shop is looking all prim and proper now, thanks to our wonderful artist! We still haven't figured out a name for him, ideas?

Today's also our artist's birthday, happy birthday Deanna!

The art for Edge of Akestor is coming together really nicely! Here's a WIP!

I'm really lucky to be working with a wonderful artist!

Here's a bit of progress on our indie game!

@ThugzillaDev Good thinking. It is now canonically the skull of a very smart person with severe neck issues on the count of their disproportionately sized head. 💀

[AkestorDev @AkestorDev]

That's a pretty big skull in the background, you know what they say about big skulls, right? 😱

@Ap0calypticC @BitrichInfo Or was MURDERED 🧐

[AkestorDev @AkestorDev]

@BromioDev This looks super neat! Looking forward to getting my hands on it. The Steam page says 2022, are you thinking early or later 2022?

[AkestorDev @AkestorDev]

Playing around with card templating today! Love seeing the WIP art on the cards!

Also did lots of code that will dynamically render mana cost & spell power and scale+align art to the card templates!
