Oliver has been hard at work getting all the ai for the little npcs in town working. They have their own paths, can enter and exit buildings, all kinds of neat stuff. As we add in more hopefully the towns will really start to feel alive.

In games where you can create your own characters I have always like to try and recreate characters from my favourite cartoons and movies as my party members. So this week I have been adding in some helmets like these from the original Conan the Barbarian movie.

The town of Holmesforde. A good place to rest, resupply and pick up some quests before heading out into the dangerous wilderness once more.

Oliver wrote up an October update on where we currently are with things and where we are going in the future for those who like reading those things. store.steampowered.com/news/app/27520… Lot of polishing things up and completing existing systems. There's so many things to do in a game

As a relative beginner to pixel art I often feel bad about my art when seeing the amazing stuff everyone is posting on X. But then I go back on some of my early art and remind myself, hey maybe I'm not so bad, I'm still learning and improving (slowly!)

I've been going through old drawings again today. I'm a lot more comfortable drawing buildings and maps than characters but it was still a struggle starting out. To be honest, looking at my current drawings I still kind of can't believe I made it this far. I almost gave up so

This week along with working on sprites and portraits I have been playing around with the character creation screen.

If you like turn based or gladiator games definitely check out Oliver's demo this next fest.

My player sprites from Lair vs those from the game which inspired it.

If you are reading this and discouraged with your own art, don't give up. When I first started with the art for the game 4 years ago versus now. It took me years of slowly improving to even get to this point.

If you like dungeon crawlers or grew up with fighting fantasy books like I did give this game a look.

I'm generally a little 'rogueliked' out but I couldn't stop playing this demo. It's fast, there's a lot to unlock and it's really well made. I definitely recommend giving the demo a try!

I just had to go with the classic blue & white art style for the automap. And, now players get to enjoy that art too! ⚔️ The Secret of Weepstone ⚔️

クラシックスタイルのダンジョンクロウラー（ウィザードリィのようなタイプ）は今でも日本で人気がありますか？ もし人気があるなら、こちらの作品をぜひチェックしてみてください！アートスタイルが本当に素晴らしいです。

日本では「クトゥルフ神話TRPG」が最も人気のあるロールプレイシステムになっている理由にとても興味があります。 やはり世界観が理由なのでしょうか？ また、そのシステムを元にした日本国内で発売された、海外ではあまり知られていないビデオゲームなどはありますか？

Not my home, but I know my way around.

Oliver came to visit Japan over the last couple of weeks. It was great to finally meet in person and discuss everything we need to get done over the next couple of months for Lair of the Leviathan. At the same time it was also a little (perhaps more than a little) strange. I had

Another classic style dungeon crawler that looks great. Reminds me a lot of Dungeon Master. Dungeon crawlers making a comeback!
