this looks incredible!!
my #7DRL entry is like a single player hidden role game and (surprise surprise) it has the same onboarding issues as mafia, werewolf, etc.
you need to hold all of the roles in your head to play well, and thats just so much info to convey before even starting.
gonna try smooth it over tomorrow!
seeing the amorphous blobs in your mind solidify on the page is really satisfying
your only options in life are dance or think, choose wisely
if you need a lil attention at the party you can dance to pull the other guests towards you 🕺

Just played Moss Moss by @noelcody.bsky.social, what a delight!!
Its made with such a generous touch, feels like it just wants to grab you by the hand and show you wonderful things ((:
5x5 gang stays winning, enjoy!
progress today is going crazy 😎
I remember you had some really cool ideas for spells that use and exchange two resources for the coiled sun. Do you think you'll try out some of those ideas here?
Ooo I hadn’t heard about tic80 but it looks cool!!
drop shadow on the font goes a long way 👀
me too!! pico8 made me like computers again lol
current frontrunner for the #7drl name is “Loose Ties”
what are people you kinda know? loose ties
what makes up an imperfect deduction? loose ties
what might you wear at a party? LOOSE TIES
you’re doing some of the best coverage in games rn, thank you 🙏
yeah it seems like you could get completely different games by changing the rulesets! are you leaning towards the “structured but intractable” rulesets?
I’m really curious to see where you take yours! Coupling the spells to the space is a cool idea. Is something about the design nudging you towards more info per cell?
Such a cool idea!! Do you find that you start to build an intuition for how flipping the bits will change the structure?
The new sprites are adapted from loren's art pack. So much personality crammed in here, definitely check it out for pixel-y fantasy stuff!
Already seeing some really fun stuff though. If you realize your ex is at a party it might be best just to leave. The boor can ruin an evening if they have an audience, but 1 on 1 they can be a good time. If the gossip is talking smack in the corner then you might need to go and interrupt.
I suspect the design work from here will be challenging. Every combination of "persona rules" needs to create an interesting deduction game AND an interesting tactical game (and ideally a good Seinfeld scene).
Taking a 2 day break from #7DRL for other work stuff, but here's where we're up to!
The game loop hinges on a tension between gathering info for deducting personas (deductions extend the run) and leaving the party before it turns sour (sour vibes end the run) 1/x

Perfect, ty!
Just gotta figure out what I'm doing for internal cell walls, but it looks like there might be space for larger tiles containing 16x16 sprites which would be ideal
Yup, thats the idea in principle!!
In practice I’m also building a small tactical game where you have to manage the energy of the party, leaving before it turns sour. Still experimenting with it, but I’m hoping it fosters a push-your-luck style tension.
these are great, picked up a copy :))
just wanted to check - my tile size is slightly different, is it ok if I tweak some of the sprites a lil to fit?
finally achieved my lifelong dream of collapsing house parties into a spreadsheet #pico8 #7DRL
lmao my last game was like 30, I’ hoping that fattens the devil up enough to stay quiet for a while
I think this whenever I play something then I sit down to make a game and the devil starts whispering that it should start with 8 paragraphs of unskippable scrolling text
In this example...
the hater has bad vibes when they're next to someone with good vibes
the boor gives bad vibes to all their neighbours when you chat with them
and stinkeye has bad vibes whenever you're in line of sight
its gonna be very tricky to balance these 😬
Ok we're getting somewhere! Here's the vision: you're at a party where everyone has a persona (specific rules about when their vibes are good or bad). By chatting to people in different situations you can start to deduce which guest has which persona.
Broughlike hidden-role game maybe? #pico8 #7DRL
spotify button that says “eat this playlist”
im too scared to click it can someone pls tell me wtf spotify is talking about
pathfinding is up and running for #7DRL! ~7000 #pico8 tokens leftover for a game 😬
