Everybody gettin' sump'n! 💰 Every pack hits gold on the first round. Rare, but happens. This hunt is off to a good start for everyone. Let's see how it ends. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #BoardGame

Nail-biter race! Kochewa (green pack) lost by ONE round. If its dog on the highlighted tile got one more round to carry that last nugget to camp, it would have been a tie with the winner, Sevvi (blue pack). So close! #ScreenshotSaturday #BoardGame #IndieGame #tabletopgaming

Beautiful game!

Highlighted tile has a gold nugget on it, but it's inaccessible. Developed logic this weekend to detect and subtract such nuggets from the total to ensure a game can still complete and not get stuck. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #BoardGame #TabletopGaming #MotivationMonday

Epic Steal! The green pack uses Rabbit->Arrow->Slide tiles to reach orange pack's campfire and, despite a valiant attempt to prevent it, steals a gold nugget, escaping via Arrow and Hunter's Call tiles. Awesome mix of luck and daring. 🤩 #BoardGame #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday

"The one lesson I never seem to learn is that maps are not something that can be done after the fact in a skirmish/tactical game design. And drawing those maps always makes me think of some cool new twist for the encounter." - Wolfgang Baur 🙏 4 #inspo Wolfgang Baur #boardgames

That's nice to hear! Thank you, Artificial Disasters ☄ | Don't Wake the Beast 🐉! Just need to make sure that island has electricity, so we can play all these fun #IndieGames!

Pity the Kochewa pack in 2nd place. Same number of gold nuggets as the 1st-place Sevvi but lost because Sevvi brought the gold to the camp later in the game, winning by the "combined rounds" tiebreaker. #Tactics matter! #ScreenshotSaturday #BoardGame #IndieGame #TabletopGaming

This is quite difficult. These are all great games! 😍 Which one to pick?🤔

Who's hopped on #Bluesky already? Would love to stay connected! bsky.app/profile/demaal…

New Year's resolution - hit the gym more! 💪 #AI gym, that is. Cautiously optimistic about AI player training - playing for all four sides, combining self-learning with mining of knowledge from a collection of human play library. #boardgame #IndieGameDev

Watching #AI player self-train is like watching paint dry. It's progressing, but slooooowwwwwly. #IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieGame #BoardGame

Simple does it in the score-keeping UI - game name and round number, highlight whose turn it is, show player names and gold nugget counts (with little gold/green dots to show how far each pack is from the goal). #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #boardgames #indiegames

Opening a "Forest Serpent" tile is a bit of a bummer. The canine that lands on it will remain trapped on that tile until a packmate comes to the rescue. Hunters, however, get a free pass; too tough of a target for a serpent to attack. #HuntersOfDemaal #boardgame #indiegame

Downhill Slide tile - one of the more versatile ones - sends you one more tile in the same direction you're traveling when you step on it. #indiegame #boardgame

Status update for the #AI player development in Hunters of Demaal #boardgame. 🤣

Opening a swamp tile can delay your exploration at first, but it can later be used to hide gold or to escape from a rival. #BoardGame #IndieGame #tabletopgaming

Discovering the biggest treasure pile on the field - great! Getting surrounded by enemies hell-bent on robbing you of it - eh, not so much. The coyote (orange meeple) has its work cut out to craft an escape. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #BoardGame

Love how colorful this game is - the amazing tile illustrations, the colorful meeples and the shiny gold nuggets! #IndieGame #BoardGame #ScreenshotSaturday

Emerging from the "AI Winter". Took forever to tune the #AI player's neural networks and it's still ongoing. But hit a milestone this morning - first completed game with AI playing all four sides. #boardgame #IndieGame #IndieGameDev
