Ladies and gentes, the project now has a name. Wish upon Astar is a traditional #roguelike with cats and a story. Build a camp, learn to know your friends and uncover the Wish, an ultimate artifact that doesn’t need explanation. I develop it solo. Fun times #games #indiedev #cats #art #gamedev

#devlog 💯 100 years, yippie! I am building save game validation system to catch all bugs.🐞 It is incredibly boring I would rather go to work Send help #gamedev #indiedev #game #design #indie #roguelike

#devlog 99 - smart shading Particles outside of view light will not be visible. But some also come in 3 dimensions, so they do show up on darkness - like the tall beam. Lots of thought for little things! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #2d #rpg #unity #vfx

#devlog 98 - altars You can sacrifice a tribute on altar of specific deities to gain alignment with them. It usually is precious items of other deities. Gods tend to not like each other. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #2d #rpg #design #cats

The autumn depression is upon us! Also, kitty got sick and was in hospital! It’s been a ride Hope you are all doing well tho!

#devlog 97 - dialogue stylization I was super productive recently but I just forget to post. I made stylization system for dialogue that changes looks based on characters #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #rpg #game #design #cats

#devlog 96 - dreams! Added a flow where dreams can happen when resting at a camp. They will be uncomfortably existential. And maybe fun sometimes #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #indie #rpg #cats #design #programming

I am currently touching grass. And in the meantime programming dreams for camp resting Are you watching #gamescom opening today? #touchgrass #gamedev #indie #games

#devlog 95 - Magic the Gathering I made not-cards that do magic things, like the prototype Heal not-card If I name them cards, shoot me. Card game market is oversaturated, they’ll be tokens or runes… #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #indie #rpg #design #programming

#devlog 94 - smokes and fires Back in action I decided to do something relaxing and I’m producing some fires, smokes etc. Still learning! What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #art #animation #vfx #design #question

#devlog 93 - vacations What, you don’t take them? Well some of us do And then I just sleep and not post anything on social media Truth is, social media is bad for you, need to rest from it, so stop scrolling now. Yeah. 👍 #protip #gamedev #takevacations

You can’t be serious with those discounts #steam xd

#devlog 91 - deities Would you -believe- that, there are 4 gods. With unique themes. Implementing them granting boons and tracking favours. What faith mechanic or boon would you want to see in a cat #roguelike #game? Ann pic for attention #gamedev #indiedev #rpg #design #cats #programming #games

#devlog 90 - dialogue portraits! I have 4037 more portraits I need to draw to convey all existing emotions. Per character. Enjoy a preview of some of Ann portraits #gamedev #indiedev #character #art #drawing #rpg #portrait #design #cats #furry

#devlog 89 - multithreading! Again! So you think you can just do „await” and Unity will nicely wait continue when it’s done? Well yes but no. The Unity specific stuff like get component won’t work. Pain has been felt. #gamedev #indiedev #programming #unity #code #gaming #pain

#devlog 88 - Camp Event with Ann Camps can sometimes spawn with a character, that will trigger special event. The dialogue can push Story forwards, while the gameplay remains sustainably Trad-Roguelike and systemic #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #programming #screenshotsaturday #rpg

My custom shadow pass stopped working in Unity 6.4 Apparently it only worked because it was stupidly leaking camera matrices over frames. So their fix destroyed the temple I built upon this bug. Sucks to be me I guess #gamedev #indiedev #programming #pain #unity #graphics #complaining

#devlog 87 - Camp events You can get a friend for your camp, have a chat too! That's the plan at least. I've spent now 3 days writing dialogue... What would you expect from meeting a friend in a _dungeon_ by a campfire? #gamedev #question #indiedev #roguelike #rpg #game #design

Hey hey! Happy weekend <3 I am thinking of how to organize choosing camp activities. So far I went with Tetris. Yes, put your activity tiles into the firepit zone and they will be done. How would you design it yourself, a list? Checkboxes? ✅ #game #design #roguelike #question #gamedev #indiedev

How’s your day going! I will be adding a cool feature that is Camps and Resting. If you were a space cat in a dungeon, what would you do in a camp besides resting? Food, temper weapon, sharpen it, brew stuff? Pray to gods? #design #question #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #fantasy

#devlog 85 - dialogues! A full dialogue system plugin implemented with custom visuals and all hooks, bits and bops. Smooth as an egg! Lots of pose drawings and design brain needed but I like the result. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #screenshotsaturday #programming #design

I hate mold It’s the worst

#devlog 84 - SHOPPING! In-game shop, lead by Naal, a caracal. You sell stuff, buy stuff, Naal explains what the items are via hover over menu, he has animations, there's also particles on the UI. And im not done! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #dungeoncrawler #games #design #programming #art

Will post an update later today. I am working on some bigger features so the milestones to share are I guess further apart

I managed to pull my shoulder by lifting a regular weight I usually lift in a usual manner Being old is not for people, or cats

#devlog 83 - Magnetics photos! You now load up a camera with film to take photos that reveal quantum lines, highlight living objects etc. Lots of possibilities! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #2d #design #dungeon #programming

No #devlog updates recently - I am suffering at the moment from FLU In the meantime I’m trying to draw, but I lack some brainrot content to play in the background Everything feels boring when sick.

#devlog 82 - magnetics! Yeah I’m using that Maxwell college math and that’s the result in practice - I visualize quantum objects as magnetic fields cause who’s gonna judge Way more interesting than just circles! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike #game #design #programming

So tired Cardio is the worst Send help 😵

We revealed more CONTROL Resonant gameplay details! Thank you to all the media outlets around the world that shared their first impressions. Read some highlights on our blog! 📰 https://bit.ly/4rXBtfU CONTROL Resonant releases 2026. Wishlist now! #CONTROLResonant

#devlog 81 - Polaroids! You can take a special photo with a quantum camera that shows a bit altered picture of your surroundings. For now it shows a smear of living beings in gold color. More to come! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike #game #design #programming #graphics

#devlog 80 Learning Maxwells equations for magnetic fields since I want to visualize my quantum fluctuations like magnetic field And my school friends said I will never even use a sine in practice #gamedev #indiedev #programming #design #math

Every time I touch social media i do so hesitantly There is a lot of needless hate and negativity that just causes me anxiety and makes me reconsider every post It discourages me from working and sharing I hope I am not the only one feeling like this

NEXT up… I will be giving you a way to outsmart quantum physics. Stay put

#devlog 79 - Quantum objects Those are in superposition unless you look at them - then they take a form! For example, a door can change a color or swap to a wall. Can you outsmart quantum physics?? #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #2d #game #programming #design #screenshotsaturday

Ann says Happy Valentines! 💘

#devlog 78 - Illusory Walls YES, DARK SOULS THING! Walls you need to blindly hit to discover it is actually not a wall, but a door! AoE damage or special items might help finding those secret bastards #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #game #design #programming

#devlog 77 - collapses doors! The nature of my dungeon generator almost guarantees some doors will lead to nowhere. Now having detection for those doors, I can replace them with a collapsed-ceiling blocker. Or so I think… 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #programming

#devlog 76 Level gen with subrooms now creates subrooms. The broken empty walls are discarded rooms Rooms can have now a small storage or extension, and also a secret subroom! That should be fun #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #programming #procedural

#devlog 75 - secret rooms Planning to amend my dungeon generator to support sub rooms that would essentially be basis for secret rooms! It’s gonna take some time, the level gen is the absurdly complex part in my project ngl #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #games

#devlog 74 - inventory afflictions Since I like inventory Tetris management I figured extending the system to have debuffs, buffs, obstacles could be fun. Like dip your bag in water and your sword rusts. Let’s see how it feels #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #design #ideas

#devlog 73 - Quality improvements I added rotating circle ⭕️ when an action is unavailable. Also progress bar and pressed button visual feedback. Few droplets in the sea of needs. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #2d #design #programming #games

#devlog 72 - Material visuals The key element of randomly generated items of various materials should be a readable material. Therefore i made some graphics and shaders to do a first step towards that! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #game #programming #design #2d #unity

At last, holidays <3

Yoo do you feel it? My side project is coming hahah youtu.be/WhQm-ExRz60
