I have recently fallen in love with the #roguelike and #roguelite genres of #videogames.

I’m especially interested in their powerful effects on #motivation, inspiring players to try-fail-try again-succeed, which is the holy grail for #instructionaldesign and #teaching more broadly.

I’d love to hear from #gamedevs and other #learningdesign pros who have explored integrating #rogueish mechanics in #learning, #seriousgames, and/or know of any #psychology #research connecting the two. Thanks!

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!

I gave a talk last year on Robotlike games. You could talk about your game!

Blue Prince is a nice...relaxing game all right 😭

Mesmo sendo alguém já cansado de roguelikes, joguei Rogue Legacy em live e me diverti bastante. A questão que fica é: estou voltando a criar gosto pelo estilo ou este jogo é um ponto muito fora da curva?

De qualquer forma, se tu nunca jogou Rogue Legacy, eu recomendo.

Cena do jogo Rogue Legacy em estilo pixel art. Um personagem masculino, vestido como um cavaleiro com armadura prateada, escudo e espada, está sobre uma plataforma de pedra enfrentando o chefe Khidr — um enorme olho flutuante com a íris vermelha. O chefe dispara vários projéteis vermelhos em diferentes direções. À esquerda da tela, há um painel com informações do jogo, como o nível do personagem (101), barras de vida e mana, quantidade de ouro (1020) e magia equipada. O fundo mostra uma parede de tijolos escuros com tochas e chamas acesas.

And for the last one the Magic combat style.

This one is fun because every 2 moves it'll make AOE damage and if does not hit an enemy it'll try to make a front or back AOE damage hehe.

Now I'll start implementing them

Now for the Range combat style.

This are still mocks not implemented, just so I can see if things look good before implementing them.

With Pooh now in the public domain, of course we're going to get some weird Winnie the Pooh games. Winnie's Hole sounds a bit…you know, but it's actually a clever sounding game from Twice Different who made Ring of Pain.

Just started playing MythForce by Beamdog (published by Aspyr) and I’m hooked!

Mock on how the Melee combat will work.

Aside from this the player will be able to select 2 active abilities, but the main focus will be on this moves.

Now I have to mock the Range and Magic. The mobs will only have the normal attack.

From the original creative team behind the Hand of Fate series, Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure is a mixture of deck-building and auto-shooting as yet another developer attempts to put their own spin on Vampire Survivor-like action.
