Descend through #procedural floors facing increasing adversity and creatures to defeat the dragon at the bottom. Make your way back out with only the resources you find along the way.

~ programmer art warning ~
It's taken all day to figure out, but ive put together a rudimentary chunk loading system. So now you can drop onto the islands and run around.
Some serious refactoring required though and a rabbit whole of chunk generation and upscaling to come

Did i miss the boat on #PitchYaGame?
Maybe but this is Diabaig, an old school ascii roguelike. Simple to start but tricky to finish. Use nothing but the resources you find, to tackle the large number of unique creatures, and best the dragon at the bottom.

Really pleased with the first attempt at generating these wee islands. Very early days but a promising start. Excuse the primitive rendering #procgen

Find myself in cool places but can't help about thinking about procedural terrain generation 🤔

My procgen bot has been coming up with some great journal entries for the light house keeper recently
The lighthouse keeper puts some driftwood on the fire, that he collected from the beach. The radio picks up some ceilidh music from BBC Alba.

I generally hold quite a poor view of deer here in Scotland for what they represent with ecologically mismanaged land.
However, this particular red deer stag was quite impressively and atomspherically roaring up the glen all day

Diabaig v1.0.1 : autoexplore and bug fixes
After a really successful initial release of Diabaig, it’s time for a first round of bug fixes. Almost every problem reported came from the Windows port of the game. This wasn’t wholly unexpected...

Auto explore?
I've never much liked it because you give up all exploration of the world to some robot. But I'm reworking the auto commands in diabaig as part of a bug fix update and figured i would add it in. It's quite fun zipping around the dungeon!
Minor bug fix update coming soon #roguelikedev

A pre-thesis defence swim. Maybe I could just stay here with the seals instead. I can see how selkies draw misguided people into the sea
This grey seal gave me a could check out at the surface. We swim with each other for about 5 minutes before it moved on

I passed 200 downloads of diabaig this morning. Absolutely blown away by the level of excitement about my little terminal game, it has exceeded all expectations I had.
Had so much great feedback that it has been just such a joy to read

Sat in his chair by the fire, the lighthouse keeper is learning to play the mandolin, he is enjoying seeing improvements. Outside, a thunder storm rages overhead.

Spotted in the itchio analytics that some Russian games site has picked up Diabaig. Their blurb about the game contained:
"The developer, as expected, is not going to feel sorry for you.."
They are right to be fair

There is no wind this evening, and no midges either. The lighthouse keeper wanders down to the beach to dip his toes in the water.

The lighthouse keeper wakes up after falling out of bed. He goes down to the pier to find mussell shells, but he only finds kelp.
