People (and others), how do we feel about a vague "Luck" stat in a turn-based game? 🍀
And what if it shows you directly what it impacts (Crit%, Evasion%)? And what if it doesn't and remains just... vague...? 🤔

Oh hey, did you know you'll be able to play with those guys soon? Well... "soon".... follow my gamedev journey on @zwei2games.bsky.social 💜

My favorite game of all time 💜
I make things awkward by asking other devs "So what it is in Chrono Trigger that you actually liked?" 😊
#gamedev
Is the system I'm adding actually fun and good, or do I just love Legend of Mana? 🤔
I see so many games adding stuff not because it's fun, but because it's giving Earthbound / Chrono Trigger and so on... 😔

I know 2min videos are WAY too long, but you can take a look at a few puzzle systems in Stagnant Gold, including companion field actions!
Even if it's a turn-based RPG, I want to add that little layer of "zelda-esque" puzzle to every dungeon! 😁

A quick screenshot of the game stagnant gold showing the main menu and the main player party. Everyone in the team has their portrait bleeding due to being low on health.
Testing interactive portraits for different conditions (like poison, danger-status, etc) and it just looks like they all got lost in the sauce. 😔

Any Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross fans should wishlist this immediately on Steam!!
It's FINALLY a non-gacha version of the game!!

Shockers, but I'm kind of a big nerd. I also like musing on random video game stuff.
Like... What're the dead giveaways that someone didn't play/understood a game?
Like "Sephiroth is the true villain of FF7", or "2B is the main character of Automata".
What're your best examples? 🤔

Celcius is the first permanent companion to join you in Stagnant Gold.
He's a little shy, but as far as Lantern Humunculus go, this one's a really good cleric-archetype one!! 😁

No game will destroy you in the same way Terranigma and Persona 3 did the first time.
Something about peaceful, well-deserved sleep...

For your reassurance, here's the Fallen London AI Transparency Statement and the portion of the Steam page which states that we're making Mandrake by hand.
We don't use generative AI. <3
Thank you!! I'm hoping to sneak a hunch of drawn cutscenes on top of the pixel graphics! 😁
I'm extremely careful with the assets I use, and try to make my own as much as possible (without buying packs).
For music, I double, triple check... in a perfect world, I would commission my composer for an entire custom soundtrack (if I one day have the guts for a mini kickstarter...) 😅
It probably doesn't need to be said for those who know me, but for the others: Stagnant Gold is made, to the limit of my knowledge, 100% AI-Free. 😤
I even turned down the help of a plugin because the creator had his page on itch made with clankergpt. 🤮

It removed all the fun of looking up steam's upcoming releases.
The first thing I go to look is this for every single game. If there's none and I have doubts, I try to look up the devs/studio to see if they have any stances against AI.
No statement, No go.
I'll go play old games instead. 😔
"AI Generated Content Disclosure" section from a "game" on the Steam store.
I don't care if your game happens to look good, if it's a genre I enjoy, if the description or "About This Game" section mentions some aspect that would interest me...
If I see this on the Steam Store Page for your game, I will ignore the game and the developer/publisher.
A mock-up screenshot from the game Stagnant Gold, showing a boss battle against an Automaton.
Stagnant Gold has 11 MOSTLY optional bosses that are fought during the course of the game, or all at the end (if you prefer that).
One of them is a guest character from one of my favorite indie RPGs.... but I'm keeping a spot for another potential guest superboss 👀

They're not all super hard to find to be honest...
...but you already know how challenging they can be 😁

I decided to go full "that weird quirky rpg team" because it's my game and I want to have fun 😤
So you walk the night with some dude, a Chemist Lantern, an Antique Sword, a (broken) Disposal Automaton, a Witch Grimoire and... a Mimic-in-a-Box! 😁
#stagnantgold
Well that's a fantasy, narrative, quirky RPG team if I've ever seen one, ain't it? 😅
Meet the party of Stagnant Gold! 😁
(Plus like, 6 temporary guest characters as well...)

They dooooo they even have speech quirks XD
