I guess so but nobody in that game would qualify as "my favorite story" "cast" or "character" in it

RubyDev @rubydev.bsky.social · 2d

I had to change some cause I legit can't think of a story or multiplayer game I like 😅

You'll never believe how this newly-released BABY was made!

- only nine months development time

- solo female developer! (with contractor help)

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

by not making the compass and map smth u have to waste equip slots on :^)

RubyDev @rubydev.bsky.social · Aug 14

boss naming tropes I love and am planning to 100% put into tiny rogues:

* MECHA boss version (MECHA TIAMAT!?)
* boss OMEGA
* boss INCARNATE
* NEO boss

normalize putting random cool sounding prefixes and suffixes on your bosses. full final fantasy

Well both, I am basically rewriting Tiny Rogues for it to be better, faster and can do more:
* Localization
* Mid-run saving
* Easy modding
* New enemy bullets (would have to go over all enemies anyways)

and much more

Update: The test object moves around. We are 1 step closer to projectiles being back in the game. 😅
