Making good progress both within the game and on the business side of things.

  • Reworked the game meta-loop to be a truer roguelike experience: perma-death and an upgrade on every victory, rather than no perma-death and experience gains after matches depending on performance.

    2024 has been a weird year for me in regard to my game development goals. I started off the year strong, putting a ton of time into development of my current unannounced game. I formed a LLC, commissioned some artwork, and worked with lawyers towards trademarks and a privacy policy for my company. But for…
