New roles for GearHead Caramel mecha: EWar Support, Engineering, Recon, Security, Artillery, Assault, and Comms.

New roles for GearHead Caramel mecha: EWar Support, Engineering, Recon, Security, Artillery, Assault, and Comms.

Adding new mecha roles to GearHead Caramel and matching roles to pilot skillsets in the random unit generator. I don't think there are any Comms meks yet, and only a few EWar and Engineering ones, but that's just a reason to add more meks. #ghrpg #GameDev store.steampowered.com/app/1565090/...

Complete and utter reimagining of Roguefort It's been months in the making but Roguefort v0.2 is now available. This massive, mind-bendingly large update completely reimagines and revamps the game. Inspired by the depth and building of Dwarf Fo...

I've spent eons overhauling Roguefort to make it an open world roguelike inspired by Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress, and UnReal world.

It's available as of... now! On Mac, Windows, and Linux, or in your browser.

The Monster Tamer paradigm can tame and catch any monster in the game (except bosses). I tuned it to be an expensive but powerful build investment. I even added some specific ability synergies between monsters and humans. #tacticsrpg #srpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

Hoop Dungeon on Steam Hoop Dungeon is a basketball turn-based tactical roguelike game. Use the powers of friendship and rivalry to become a better basketball player and conquer the Hoop Dungeon.

Be sure to check out Hoop Dungeon in this Steam Next Fest. It's got basketball, it's got turn-based tactics and it's got an innovative narrative system and I'm sure you're interested in at least one of those.

At the top the headline #turnbasedthursday. The background is a city in aquatic tones with magical light shining in green and pink. Three characters stand on a rooftop, looking at the city. "Players: Find your next  favorite game!" on the left, flanked by a sticker of an eye. And "Devs: Show us your projects!" flanked by a sticker of a hand pointing downward on the right.
