Ever wondered what it's like to be that pro at Smash Brothers who would dunk on all the neighborhood kids? Spiritfall is your answer!

An excellent mashup of action-platforming, charming art, toe-tapping tunes, and roguelite design - build some spell synergies from saintly spirits to stop the spread of The Blight!

Wavedashing has never been this easy!

Traveling through Vienna this week and happened to take the metro right past @hcigroup in Rennweg - home of the student developers of the free to play roguelike deckbuilder Forty-Five!

Not every day that I happen to zip past the hometown of European devs we’ve covered on the podcast!

one of the things I love about #roguelike games is how differently each play-through pans out.

One time your character is a tank, covered in high-grade armor and bristling with powerful weapons; or you're a super-wizard. You demolish every enemy on the level and stride up victoriously to claim the winning prize.

Other times you're on fire, pursued by dragons and ogres, and down to your last bar of health as you snatch the winning prize with your last ounce of energy to win the game.

I wrote a song! It's a fan-song for the puzzle game Blue Prince. Thoughts welcome, whether or not you know the game (I guess potentialy very mild plot hints if you haven't played but might want to, but it's written fairly obliquely):

The #Roguelike Celebration needs to raise some additional funds to be able to pay for their live captioner at this year's event https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTUwMzgw

Can these game announcement streams stop happening while I’m still pretending to be at work?

@Undead_Zeratul playing it off the PlayStation demo disc was a life changing experience

What my note taking process has been like for Blue Prince so far

Art direction has been—and always will be—more important than graphics compute power.

A very merry Elden Ring Nightreign launch day (night?) to those who celebrate

Still baffled and amazed that Fromsoft put out a roguelite game lol. More studios need to take weird risks like this!
