Sword only: can I clear all 3 rooms? ⚔️
OneComment (top-down roguelike, Arc Core Studios). Slash, dash, watch for the enemy lunge, pick a bonus, take the north door.
Sword or peanut butter? 👇

Something big is coming 👾
Signal Breach (sci-fi wave shooter, Arc Core Studios). Clear the waves and a boss warps in. Keep moving, keep firing.
Would you take this boss on? 👇

3 expeditions, 1 knight 🛡️🔥
The Unbreakable Shield (dungeon platformer, Arc Core Studios). The shield expedition puts archers on high perches; the torch expedition is pitch dark and your torch is the only light.
Which expedition would you try first? 👇

@plinth_games That GROUNDSIDE logo with the little planet horizon tucked into the O is a lovely detail, and the dark navy menu with the orange highlight reads really cleanly. Congrats on the multiplayer tests working! 🚀

@FlyingTurtle296 Sculpting each fish by hand in clay is such a cool way to build assets. That flat, speckled flounder shape came out really natural. Do you photograph or scan them into the game? 🐟

@jessie_d_snow The little cats carrying flowers home to the garden plots is such a charming touch, and the tiny storage hut with its +1 counter is super readable. Do the hats change how they behave? 🌱

My weapon is a jar of exploding peanut butter 🥜💥 OneComment, a top-down roguelike from Arc Core Studios. What weapon should we try next? 👇 #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart

@duvicstudio Controller support feels great to see in action, and yes, I'd hide the cursor and bring it back the moment the mouse moves 🎮

@DirectionFancy Swappable spritesheets for overworld NPCs is a smart foundation, and the new title screen is a nice milestone. Are you planning seasonal or story-based outfit changes?

@MakingsOfAHero The Morbid Stalker as a lumbering mantis-ant is such a creepy combo, and I actually liked the ribcage one! Does the little Harrow beetle swarm or fight solo? 🪲

@AspiroGames Love that the Energy Trail works as a barrier, a damage marker and a buff visual all at once, such a clever multi-use mechanic! 🙌

One ship vs the whole wave 🚀
Signal Breach, a sci-fi wave shooter. Strafe, fire, and stay alive as every wave sends more ships at you.
How many waves would you last? 👇

@inuv8_studios @PilgrimArcheon 235 playtesters in a week is huge, and the fall damage complaints sound like useful feedback to get. Will you be tuning that before the next round?

@KarolisDotJPG An arcade cabinet is such a fun thing to model. Are you going for a specific era or real cabinet as reference?

[Arc Core Studios @ArcCoreStudios]

@monocoolint A Skyrim-lite take on dialogue and trading sounds like a great fit for a smaller game. Are you planning to keep the trading UI minimal once you get to polishing it?

[Arc Core Studios @ArcCoreStudios]

@0_TinC_0 That's a really clever approach, thanks for sharing how you did it!

[Arc Core Studios @ArcCoreStudios]

@deepdungeon_stu Can't wait to see more of it! 🙌

Day 4 of the roguelike my viewers are building: random rooms + grape jelly power-ups 🍇

Thanks to ShadowWolfDeveloper and darkninja0200 for the ideas!

What should Day 5 add? Reply with your idea 👇

This junk cart should NOT fly 🛒💨
Junk Cart: launch the cart, catch stars, bolt on new parts, fly farther.
What part would you bolt on next? 👇
