This is a list of my currently released games, starting from the most recent. Right now I am working on Cyclopean. It's an old school CRPG based on Lovecraft's Dreamlands. Without getting too detailed about the gameplay, let's call it "Befriending cats in the underworld" for now.

And yes, that's Papyrus! You can't stop me.

Not only that but *still remember* certain phone numbers from the before days

German language is coming to Islands of the Caliph! I hope to do a few other languages as well, but starting with one seems like a good idea.

I'm sure it's been done, but this could make for a really witty, dystopian world-building idea.

In 100 years the people won't believe that I could use a computer without some kind of corporate sponsorship or harvesting some of my organs.

I'm trying to export to a PDF from Microsoft Word and instead of just doing it, I'm seeing some kind of pop up advertisement while the document keeps "loading."

Is nothing sacred?

I don’t know if it would be good if you have never tried writing any procedural stuff. It’s not like an instruction manual.

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 8d

Each chapter is different and by different authors. Some are reinforcing things I already know and others are really expanding my understanding of the topic a lot. Great book overall.

For me I dove into procgen without knowing anything so this is helpful to me.

Fixed the very bad inventory bug in the testing branch of Star Explorers! It's getting closer to becoming a proper full release.

Yes! It shouldn't need anything that powerful, but it can't hurt :)

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 11d

Cool discussion!

Yeah, I think it's pretty self evident from the screenshots, but people are people.

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 14d

Four actually, but no. No I did not.

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you, Jason. "Beautiful oddity"is something that makes me smile!

Absolutely do not buy my game if you want more than one color! You won't get it.

Great art! Really unique looking game.

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 17d

I just prefer single player games. You make some good points, but there is really no need to justify it.

MKSchmidt @mkschmidt30.bsky.social · 17d

Still the most traumatizing bug I experienced in Star Explorers. I made a new thing where friendly miners could appear on some planets. But I had also recently added meteors which would fall in random locations ... behold the consequences of my actions:
