Still building the modular tutorial.

Our hero finished one module, discovered thirteen more, and accepted the first available alien extraction.

Unfortunately, you cannot leave during the tutorial.

When would you call the UFO?

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

@playCelestial9 Exactly. “Short” doesn’t mean “cheap” if failure takes away progress.

The modules are separate and replayable, so experimenting won’t hurt the main run. Pride remains the only planned casualty.

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Our old tutorial had 103 consecutive steps.

In retrospect, perhaps the problem was visible in the number.

We're rebuilding it as 14 replayable modules: core loop first, then focused lessons as systems appear.

How do you prefer to learn complex games?

Sending a publisher build on Sunday night.

I've reached the highly professional "one last fix" stage of development.

Unfortunately, "last" appears to be a renewable resource😅

@playCelestial9 “Costs only pride” might be the best tutorial design rule I’ve heard in a while.

Genuinely useful feedback, thank you.

Deep in the forests of Volume I, three Common Slimes gather. One consumes the other two and matures into a Slimegirl.

When three Slimegirls meet, the ritual repeats.

A Slimequeen emerges.

The ecosystem is working as intended.

One Plains symbol can become an entire rural economy.

Farmer + Field -> Grass -> Haystack -> Fabric or Milk -> Prosperity or Catgirl XP.

Small symbols. Questionable consequences.

Which branch would you build around?

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Regular Logs kept filling the board.

Instead of simply removing them, we turned clutter into progression:

3 Logs -> 1 Sturdy Logs
3 Sturdy Logs -> 1 Ancient Logs

Cleaner board. Stronger wood.

Would you upgrade clutter or remove it?

Endless Run offers heroic activities such as:

- saving cabbages
- counting darting rabbits
- keeping goats on the trail
- pouring a clean mug
- sorting every good egg

Songs will be written about this.

Which legendary duty are you taking first?

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Your first choice in Endless Run now shapes the entire opening.

Prairie, Farmstead, and Forest Edge each give you a different set of five starting symbols.

Which start would you build around?

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Changed one parameter today.

Then I looked a little deeper and found the entire economy attached to it.

The five-minute balance tweak is going well...🥵

What was your last "small" change?

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Getting to know game lore is important.

Luna likes milk.
Luna likes cider.
The innkeeper would like to stress that these are separate facts.

What are you ordering?

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Today's dev roadmap:
- Balance.
- Localization.
- New art.
- Bug fixes.

The Signpost knows exactly as much as I do.

@WeVennStudios The Tax Office is currently the main suspect. It scales with cities and royalty, turns wealth into Prosperity, and even pays out when destroyed. Disturbingly realistic 🤣

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

My fantasy roguelike now has taxes.

- Market Stall turns food into coins.
- Tax Office turns wealth into prosperity.
- Royal Court protects the important people.

You thought this was an isekai. 😜
It was bureaucracy all along. 😱

#gamedev #indiedev

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

@_DeceptiveGames Exactly! Couldn’t have put it better myself.

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

@_DeceptiveGames Jokes aside, in one of our scenarios, you can genuinely lose if you fail to account for taxes.

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Meet the three sisters:

- Unicorness wants to become an idol.

- Pegasusess is the rebellious younger sister.

- Pegacorness is the eldest, which apparently counts as a full-time job.

Which sister do you want to meet first?

Players see: a cute Tamer and her panther.

I see: 12 animal symbols that all need to be configured correctly.

Apparently, she tames the animals; I tame the Inspector 😅

[Re: Spin. Die. Repeat. @ReSpin_Game]

Didn't touch the project today, so technically I introduced zero new bugs.

My most stable build all week. 😂

What did you play this weekend?
