Several things I want to share today:

Patreon

I started a Patreon! I made seven 7DRLs and released Golden Krone Hotel all in my spare time while working a regular full time job. With increasingly little free time these days, Patreon will make it easier for me to justify continued work on all my little roguelike projects.

Discord

Seven Day Roguelike Challenge - 2019

Speaking of broughlikes, there's another upcoming game jam called the Seven Day Broughlike challenge. I will probably be participating if I can squeeze in some time. I'm also working on a JavaScript tutorial about building your own broughlike. Look for that in the near future.

Along with Conga Dungeon and thre…In-game event13 Jan 2023v1.10.1 - Performance and bug fix updateThis update fixes several bugs and balance issues introduced in v1.10 as well as fixing the lag when encountering lots of monsters/obstacles (pretty noticeable sometimes on Steam Deck). One big UI issue was the lack of potion tooltips when playing on controller or Steam Deck. All menus with potions now show the full potion tooltip. So with these two improvements to Steam Deck playability, I can…Major update21 Dec 2022v1.10 - The Princess Is in Another Castle!This update includes full Steam Deck support including achievements, solid controls, and controller rumble. Golden Krone Hotel already played well on controller and it's now a great fit for Steam Deck. The only known issue: there's occasional lag in some areas with a lot of monsters or animated tiles; I hope to address this in the future. A new branch, 3 new spells, and 5 new monsters have also…
