Last capsule art was awful, I restarted from scratch. Does this one catch an eye?

Worked on this capsule art today, does it seem too cheap/unprofessional? Too saturated?

Desert sand feels warm at night... I hope I can respond to this in the future and tell myself it was worth it

Feeling extremely burnt out and very discouraged. Hope this will all be worth it.

DevNote 31: Did a lot of work on making an actual dungeon environment, fixed/improved some minor things related to enemy spawning, some traps, the generator, etc. Also did some investigation into performance losses. #IndieDev #GameDev

DevNote 30: Have made a bunch of QOL improvements and capabilities to the dungeon generator and the enemy AI. The AI was especially convoluted and had many symptoms of the biases I had when creating it, rather than being something truly versatile. #IndieDev #GameDev

Any other #IndieDev people just not have any festivals to enter? "This indie game did great because they entered 20 festivals" you hear.

Ok but on the schedule I see "Steampunk Cat-Idler Fest" and "Female Developers of Northwest Scandinavia Fest" coming up. I don't really slot in anywhere...

It was really nice tonight to have implemented a few failsafes into my AI, and have it actually work 'accidentally'... I generated a dungeon and then realized my little guy normally standing around had reverted to the default state I intended of just trawling around. #IndieDev #GameDev

DevNote 29: Lots of updates to the dungeon generator to make it more consistently interesting instead of randomly awful. Visual updates to the lighting. And some significant updates to the existing AI that were pretty easy to integrate because of the node graph I built it on. #IndieDev #GameDev

For #ScreenshotSaturday, here is the debug console spouting foreach loop data for a bug I spent a few hours trying to fix, only for it to have been the variable was initialized outside the loop instead of inside.
