CompromiseDev | Wishlist Compromised Investigator

Version 0.1.2 is out! 🥳 Zombies!!! Added on a whim but I absolutely love it 😍 (also a lot of other changes) Steam playtest keys on discord: discord.gg/GTHkMyB23g The vid surely counts as a trailer for the Zombie update to take part in #TrailerThursday 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Really exited to be part of this project! 🥰 Absolutely honored to be drawing a spritesheet in the style of Adrian Carmack! 🫣 Took a while to learn the shading style and everything is still very much #wip Can't wait to get a chance to see BJ actually walking around! 😍

Whelp... 🫠 Wanted to just slightly buff the Zombie enemy in the game and ended up on a massive tangent, and added half a dozen new game mechanics 🥰 Just few more events to rewrite from a Zombie perspective and the whole transformation will be in! 🥳 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

I'm looking forward to streaming this when it's ready! It's absolutely a gem in the making and people really should keep an eye on it!

The third Witch returns with some unfinished business 😅 What business? You'll have to find for yourself🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

It's been a while since I drew new event images 🥰 You pass three young Witches in the Night. Two of them laugh at you. The third one...? she's not laughing... 💀 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Added "!"-pips to the categories containing new entries in the Journal and made the newly appeared text be shown with an outline 🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #UI

Journal UI starting to look smooth enough 🥰 I might've had too much fun with that expanding, sliding scrollbar 🤣 The Compromise finally has its own page in the hierarchy and Night and Day can be accessed. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #pixelart

Well, isn't this just the perfect situation to try the new "Run Away" button! 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵 #screenshotsaturday

Another update to the playtest 🥰 Lot of bugs, few features, and a lot of text! Coming up next, continuation of the massive rewrite ❤️ Keys for the playtest still only on discord for now! discord.gg/GTHkMyB23g #indiegame #gamedev #playtest

Was supposed to be a little feature adding day, but I added fleeing from combat... It works! 🥰 But now I have to decide what happens when you don't stop a Cleric assaulting a crypt with the Holy Relic YOU gave him. And about a dozen more unavoidable fights you can now run from 🤣 #indiedev #gamedev

Did anyone ask for the fonts from my unreleased game? No. Did I finish their full character sets anyway and put them on itch? Absolutely 🥰 Compromise 5px & 10px: compromisedev.itch.io If your game needs tiny letters, these are very tiny🤣 #pixelart #pixelfont #gamedev #indiedev #fonts

I love my dev tools ❤️ Flow Map of a case in Compromised Investigator, now with real playtest data laid on top and with previews of the events, and the arrows show how the runs split at each choice 🥰 Thicker the arrow, the more players went that way! #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #narrativedesign

Rewriting continues! No longer just swapping a few words based on your character state. Fully custom event descriptions! Really need to sell the different world Day and Night creatures live in❤️ Taking ages, but I love writing, and it's worth the time spent 🥰 #indiedev #gamedev #narrativedesign

Massive shoutout to @support.bsky.team! 🥰 I had a minor breakdown and a rant about Bluesky's video encoding garbling my uploads. I take it all back! Filed a bug report, got extremely fast and genuinely helpful answers ❤️ And it was the fault of a Chrome update anyway😅 Celebratory un-garbled video!

It was such an amazing experience getting to play the game and having you there made it all the more better!!! Thank you for the hard work you put into the game and being the witness to me decline in sanity throughout the 7 hours!!! I can't wait for the full release!! 𑣲⋆𑣲⋆𑣲⋆ (LOOK MOM, I'M FAMOUS!)

Compromised Investigator's first playtest is live! 🥰 Night one: 112 runs, 94 deaths, 3 survivals. As soon as the first Vampire Investigators were unlocked, David became the top cause of death (24%) 🤣 Join the Discord for the keys: discord.gg/GTHkMyB23g #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #pixelart

Adding telemetry to the game in preparation for the Steam playtest. Stats!!! 🥰 Obviously nothing about you or your device will be in anyway collected. And you can of course opt out even still. This is mainly to make the game better, but also for me to post NPC's K/D-ratios 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev

While waiting for Steam approval, I'm adding new ways to become a Vampire 🥰 Was close to impossible to be bitten yet survive to become a full Vampire, and that was required to unlock Lucien. That's fine and all, but probably not the best for playtesting 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

I've used my newly evolved pixel bending powers to build the tiniest of tutorials 🤣 No text or arrows. The things to click just shed little white pixels until you click them! Straight out of the jam game's pixel morph tech, that detour keeps paying off 🥰 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Whoa! 😍 Playtest has finally been submitted for review! 🥳 Now we wait 🫠 If you have interest in the playtest, please join the discord 🥰 discord.gg/GTHkMyB23g

Making all sorts of miscellaneous assets for the game's Steam playtest-build 🫠 Needed a splash screen, so finally drew a logo for myself! 🥰 #oc #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Much more #UI polish! Shouldn't be too many bits left that don't have any movement now! 🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Compromised Anatomy got 2nd place in Judge's Choice in MicroJam!! 🥳 And now, back on the Compromised Investigator grind. The jam was a very good detour: the pixel morph system I built for it is coming to CI 🥰 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

First ever Lumina fanart and she's adorable!! 🥰 By @jasesaster.bsky.social, dev of @lovin-stein.bsky.social. Go play their game! ❤️ lovin-stein.itch.io/lovin-stein #fanart #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Having way too much fun building with my custom #discord bot 🥰 Dynamic scam scoring for each message of newer members of the server! Okay okay, sorry, I'll get back to making the game 🤣

Did an actual proper pixelart commission for the lovely folks of the The Game Show podcast @breakmanx.com 🥰 I think I managed to capture their likenesses quite well 😅 #commision #pixelart #ドット絵

Tried a couple of Automods to autoban bots invading my discord server, nothing really worked so made my own 🥰 Hopefully Windermere Officer will prove to be as good at disintegrating bots as he is disintegrating the player in the game 🤣 #discord

Compromised Anatomy is submitted! And with four hours to spare too 🥰 Please give it a go! but also keep in mind that it's a game made for a 48h gamejam 🫣 compromisedev.itch.io/compromised-... #microjam #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

All the main elements and art are in place! 🥰 Now for the polish! Also have to come up and implement the effects of every body part Could've completed the run at the end there, but I'd rather get accepted by the trees 🤣 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Such a happy gameover screen! 🤣 The gamejam game is rapidly taking shape 🥰 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Okay! I genuinely love how this looks! I knew my pixel disintegration system would have endless uses back when I made it 🥰 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Drawing the first transformations 🥰 It's suddenly quite grim 😱 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Nothing in the engine works yet, so instead, I give more of the concepting 🥰 You touched some really bad magic and now your body is in flux and everything affects you. Get over the mountain to reach Windermere, before you become something else 😱 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev

It has begun. #MicroJam Wanted for a while to try grid based procedural generation, this shall be the time! Concept with a quickly drawn tileset 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev

Partner is away on a trip. Fridge is stocked up on pre-prepared food. All commitments for the weekend have been refused. One power nap and then it is time...! For another gamejam! 🥳 #microjam #gamedev #indiedev

Opened a Discord server for Compromised Investigator! 🥳 Current population: 1 🙃 Dev updates, a say in what makes it into the Demo, first dibs on Playtest invites 🥰 Come to hang out: discord.gg/GTHkMyB23g Here's some complimentary Lumina art ❤️ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #ドット絵

Currently redrawing the Affliction and Ability -icons to try to unify the style. Have dreaded this for a while... 🫠 There's about a hundred of them, and drawing in 40x40px is still so damn hard 🤣 Every one of those still needs some polish... #redraw #pixelart #ドット絵

Enemy Inspection Mode Rework! 🥳 Shifting the whole screen felt cool at first but it got really distracting. And you couldn't fight with the inspection mode on. 🫠 Now it's just a smaller sidemenu that slides out to cover the combat sprite 🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Even more #UI movement! Tab sliding, windows gliding, logs expanding 🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Trying out adding even more movement to the #UI 🥰 The "Details Popup" now slides out next to what you clicked, instead of appearing in the middle of the screen. The Log now speeds past you, instead of just appearing in multiline chuncks 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

UI is now a bit more animated! 🥳 The text scrolls pixel by pixel instead of row by row. The slots actually scroll instead of the static slots just replacing their texts 🥰 Oh, and I'm having way too much fun playing with the sound design of the #UI 🤣 #indiedev #gamedev

Collection: now actually readable 🥳 Three columns: Endings, Events sorted by investigation, Enemies & Lore, plus your items and afflictions as actual inventory slots. "Details"-buttons included, so you can recheck what you're seen 🥰 #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #indiedev

Had to unlock everything in the "Collection" to make sure everything was actually possible to unlock... Found quite a few bugs... 🫠 Everything seems to work now! 🥳 Next to make the Collection's layout actually readable 🙃 #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #indiedev

Was listening to an audiobook while idling on the computer. My idle hands ended up drawing Lumina like one of your French girls 🤣❤️ #oc #pixelart #ドット絵
