My first game is officially on Steam, Dusk Runners is a top-down roguelike zombie arena shooter, survive rooms, grab loot, and try not to get turned into floor seasoning.

I wonder how much more I’d build if I was game dev full time, one day I will see

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@TJGameDev Fuck yeah!

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@PrehistoricK God I love dinosaurs, might have to pull the trigger on this NOW

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@ProceduralMinds Arrakis?

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@Chronicles1313 Yesssss, light infantry in the mud beats heavy infantry?? 👀

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@spectraimsim Fuck yeah

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@KyronKiranov @DUSKdev Have you heard of Big Ambitions on steam? It’s kinda like that

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@KelloPudgerro @DUSKdev Aska does that, it’s a indie Viking survival game

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@Ahwhwh2740394 An engine, probably a week or two. Game dev itself doesn’t end, just evolves

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@Pirat_Nation Steam is the best and it’s not even close

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@ForsakenRealms_ IM READY

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@i2_Games @unitygames @DuskRunners Thank you 🙏

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@i2_Games @unitygames @DuskRunners Not a bullet heaven, more like dead ops arcade but with more mechanics, aiming, reloading, weapon drops, weapon mastery. I do love me a bullet heaven tho

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@MjTheHunter I just keep play testing and try to find what’s fun

Whatever you’re working on, no matter how difficult it feels, keep going. Keep learning, keep improving, and don’t lose sight of why you started. Even when the world feels heavy or progress feels slow, every step you take is still building something in you. Stay encouraged - it’s all shaping you for your own growth and benefit.

On paper, the player gets a weapon, earns passives through XP, spends money on specific upgrades (fire rate, reload speed) then a trader npc for character upgrades (movement speed, armor) this is step one done #gamedev

[DuskRunners @DuskRunners]

Update - Changing the XP system to a weapon type passive XP system. The more kills the player gets the better they will do with that weapon type. I want to also add a weapon upgrade bench where you can upgrade the weapon instance of a specific weapon too. #gamedev #roguelike

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@madchickengames Love that, keep it up 👍

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

Currently changing up the XP system to a weapon type passive system. It cuts out the pause screens in combat and gives a small UI notification that the type has been leveled up. I like it more already. Video coming soon with the prototype #gamedev

[Mo Hoyt @MoSifff]

@madchickengames Oh hell yeah!
