I am really so happy with how the game looks now. Never be afraid to spend the greater part of the year tweaking UI.

My feelings on releasing this update keep oscillating between crippling perfectionism and Fuck It We Ball and I've been leaning more towards the latter recently. Could be done this week, we'll see.
As far as I know I am finished fixing everything that I broke by going widescreen, so now I just need to do a few playthroughs to make sure the systems changes haven't broken the progression too much.
Just a heads up to anybody with a game in progress, v1.2 brings so many changes that existing 1.1 saves will not work. The upside is that I'm taking this opportunity to redo some areas without the risk of soft locking anybody. More on those soon! #GameDev #Glyphscape #RPG #Indiedev
To celebrate Valve's 30th anniversary I will be donating 30% of every sale to Valve. It's the least I can do.
Looking for upsides of this slopworld we live in, and one I'm grateful for is how many more process photos I see. Granted it's for a twisted proof-of-humanity test that we now all have to take part in but hey I get like 75% more art out of every art.
It's #WishlistWednesday! Any additional effort I put into this post is less time I spend on the 1.2 update, so this is what you get. Love you all ❤️🐁 store.steampowered.com/app/3103690/...

Finally playing Noita for the first time. Good god. I'm 30 hours in and I think I'm approaching the start of the tutorial.
This is your daily reminder that if you dump all those steam trading cards that you don't care about at market rates, you'll have enough wallet funds for a few cheap indies by next week. It's like when your inventory is full but it's all 0.1kg items, except instead of over-encumbrance you get cash.
Still slogging through the last bits of the UI overhaul, which is now bleeding into "things I should have polished a long time ago". Hopefully will be wrapping up this week, but UI always takes longer than I expect.
It's a good thing I'm wearing every hat in this organization because idk how I would explain to my boss what the slice of the revenue chart labeled "trading card sales" means (it ain't Glyphscape trading cards tfs)
Little preview post of 1.2 features. UI Overhaul, Enemy AI Overhaul, Magic System Expansion, it's good stuff. store.steampowered.com/news/app/310... #GameDev #ASCII #RPG #SoloDev
Glyphscape - Update Preview - Major Version 1.2 - Steam News
A preview of the UI overhaul and new enemy behavior in 1.2.
store.steampowered.com
The monster behavior I added today is the state machine equivalent of a widescreen update. Really fun things coming. I'm gonna need a bestiary.
Spent several hours yesterday redoing the splash art to accommodate the new 2:1 display. Quite pleased with the results. #PixelArt #ASCII #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #RPG #Glyphscape
Taking yet another pass at the UI for spell crafting. Now that I've got twice as much screen real estate I SHOULD be able to make something a bit more intuitive this time.
Every 6 months or so I make 1 small change and Glyphscape gets substantially better. Going from 1:1 to 2:1 is one of those. It's so pretty.
Started the process of localization for Glyphscape (waaay too late, obviously) and I have absolutely no estimates on when that'll be done. Still need to figure out the "I don't speak Japanese" problem.
Well, the 1.2 update was supposed to be mostly non-UI things for my sanity, but instead I kicked off an overhaul of literally every menu. Worth it I hope
Did one final pass on the rendering so that I can support a full 128x64 view. The old square view allowed for 64x64 so I wanted to preserve that level of zoom. Zones are only 128x128, so at this zoom the camera only pans up and down.
"Having a demo actually results in fewer wishlist conversions" should not be surprising. The demo exists for the players who actually DON'T want your game, but don't know it yet.
Whenever I get overwhelmed with the state of the world, I remember that it would have been a pretty cool setting for a near-future dystopia 15 years ago when I was really into near-future dystopias.
