Solitomb is *HERE!* 🎉

Stack cards into combos, fight monsters, add new abilities to your build and emerge victorious (eventually, sometimes)!

Please share this to help spread the word and enjoy the game! 🤗

Been working on an unlock system for #Solitomb the last few days! A nice mix of design, coding, graphics and UI work 😇

Ways to go still, but happy with this initial stab at a demonic seal that you'll get to break! 🤗

So yeah, looks like I have to finish work on *my* game before September 4 😆

You know when you start the run: either because it's a campaign scenario whose whole point is him breaking the seal, or you rolled him as a special mechanic for your single run (as opposed to a collapsed room with boulders, an antimagic crystal that prevents abilities until destroyed, ...etc.)

Currently trying to resist adding a cute animation where he drops his book and falls off the card when hit.
(lots of other prototypes to do before I can fully focus on visuals!)

Meet the Occultist! In this scenario, you need him to decode a demonic seal in the next room, so don't let him touch any monsters! 👈

Undo will mostly save you from obvious mistakes, but don't do what I did here and let a monster flip up under him 😅

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵

1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

Assault: 1

Demolisher: 8

Droidmaster: 4

Elite: 10

Grenadier: 3

Knight: 7

Medic: 6

Pathfinder: 5

Psion: 9

Sniper: 2

Individually, the sniper and elite icons were a bit less obvious - the sniper because of the eye dominating the icon, the elite because it's the "smallest" feeling icon.

I used to laugh before about making the first solitaire game with cover-based mechanics.
Well, today I made it (the first?) solitaire game with an escort mission 😅

Awesome! As a person who has shipped an outlined-print function with every single one of my PICO-8 games, I approve of this update 😁
Though don't tempt me with the 32 carts, I'm in enough scope trouble as it is! 😇

Back from holidays and hard at work on Solitomb! 💪

Mostly behind-the-scenes progress in August, but today's thing is quite visible: "environment" cards tied to dungeon locations.
These boulders get in the way quite a bit, but you can also use them to your advantage... 🧠

Oof, been making invisible progress on some things as well!
Worst kind of progress if you ask me! 🤗
