I seriously worry that generative AI is going to take over game development and force everyone to use it or go out of business. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

Since everyone loves announcements of announcements :), we should be setting and announcing a Din's Champion 1.0 launch date sometime soon. #indiegame #wishlistwednesday

Version 0.907 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch adds a new monster (Scarabus Swarm), makes evil gods more unique, gives more insight into NPC happiness/insanity, balances a bunch of things better, and fixes several other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

I still can't tell if AI is going to be a useful tool, going to eliminate all of our jobs, or kill us all in the long run.

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

I'm not supposed to be adding new things since Din's Champion is now in beta, but I couldn't help adding a new swarm variant of the Scarabus. My wife wanted a horde type of monster that glows. :) #indiegame #indiedev

While not nearly as bad as oil, pollution is quite flammable in Din's Champion. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

Version 0.906 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch balances a bunch of things better, makes it easier to find support quest locations, fixes some graphical issues, and fixes a few other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

I found 2 clans in my current world in Din's Champion, the Protectors and Searing Blade. The Protectors want to exterminate everyone that's not genetically pure and the Searing Blade are pacifists. :) #indiegame #indiedev

So I'm carefully setting up some exploding gas for a video clip in Din's Champion and 2 monsters get into a fight, set off a chain reaction that explodes half of my screen, and I'm not recording anything. It's like trying to get a good picture with children. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

Version 0.905 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch makes monster projectiles more unique, adds new world modifiers, makes arch-nemesis of different monster types more unique, and fixes a ton of other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

I've been working on making monster types in Din's Champion more unique this week, especially projectiles. Expect more arcing, bouncing, homing, chaining, explosions, and other things that change your tactics. #indiegame #indiedev

I had Windows restart my computer today while I was literally writing code. I have no idea if I had open files or not and it completely derailed my thought process. Their update process is annoying to say the least.

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

A strange thing of testing Din's Champion a lot in co-op, is that since I'm typically only doing 1 build a week, I'm often play testing on an old build. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

Version 0.904 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch balances a ton of things better, improves block blending, and fixes a ton of other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

The social media algorithms hate me. That is all.

My partner is living life dangerously over there in today's Din's Champion screenshot. #wishlistwednesday #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

I'm working on a new trailer for Din's Champion this week. It's not my favorite task, but the lighting, fps, block blending, and effects have all improved quite a bit since the original trailer, so it needs to be done. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

Version 0.902 of Din's Champion is now available! This patch fixes a crash, balances a bunch of things better, improves multiplayer some, and fixes a ton of other minor issues. #indiegame #indiedev

[Soldak Entertainment @Soldak]

My before release Din's Champion todo list was at 1,832 lines at the beginning of the week. I'm now down to 1,471. It feels so much better when it is going down instead of up! :) #indiegame #indiedev

In today's Din's Champion screenshot I found a really colorful cave. I believe there is a purple fairy in there causing some of pretty colors. #screenshot #indiegame #indiedev
