The shirt design for Roguelike Celebration 2025. It features a bunch of people wandering a strange circus.
I got really into this detailed isometric-ish map style of illustration, and did both this piece of art for my MFA program's shirt (A Pigeon's Journey) and the @roguelike.club shirt this year! I love little guys, and I love drawing tons of tiny little guys in iso view.
truly! being part of the crowd in the theater really adds a whole other layer to the experience.
Thank you to all of our incredible speakers, staff, and everyone who joined us for another great year. I have so many tabs to follow up on. ALL HAIL THE OBELISK!
We'll be taking a breather for a bit before we slice up videos, but you can still watch the streams:

Videos can be replayed from our YouTube channel but we'll work on getting the individual videos uploaded in the next while, after all the organizers take a long and well deserved nap! (We'll have a postconference survey soon to ask whether folks want videos released all at once or not!)
That's a wrap on the 10th Roguelike Celebration! Thanks for spreading the word and joining us! There's still time to check out our reprinting of ALL the roguelike celebration shirts, and to browse the Steam sale!

Slide asking 'what is karaoke?' and presenting the brooklyn interpretation: well-known songs, lyrics on screen, tech-assisted, and possible to practice.
Thank you @jbrew.bsky.social for adding the Brooklyn Interpretation of karaoke to our collective community toolkit.
The thing about having 10 years of Roguelike Celebration is that we covered 10 ways to generate a dungeon in like year 2, the archives are great for that, and now we're left to get into the REALLY wild stuff π
what I expected from @roguelike.club : "10 ways to generate a dungeon!"
what I got: existentially terrifying hypergeometry
We love Roguelike Celebration!

A slide that says "ARE RECTANGLES EVEN REAL?"
Powerful start from @zenorogue.bsky.social - sharing the arcane knowledge behind making HyperRogue, a non-Euclidean roguelike. The question isn't why make your roguelike non-euclidean, it's why *not*?
