Secretly cursing @katkruger.bsky.social for telling me about Shattered Pixel Dungeon shatteredpixel.com. 😂 I forgive her, tho, because I found out she's one of the writers for BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL (3rd ed) boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35... - one of my favourite co-operative board games!

Coming Soon to Shattered: The Vault Quest! After far too long of a wait, v4.0.0 is finally ready for beta! This update ended up ballooning in size from just adding a new quest, I'd say it's arguably Shattered's biggest update yet! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #gamedev #roguelike

Hey folks, the beta for Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0 should be ready tomorrow or Saturday! Here's one final teaser, if you're able to get to the end of the vault, expect an assortment of upgraded loot! You can only take one thing back though, choose wisely! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is 12 years old as of today! Polish on the next update is coming along well, expect the beta before August 15th! Here's one more upcoming vault treasure room with some pretty rapid fire traps. You'll need some item to get past them unscathed. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart

Status Update: v4.0 Beta Soon! v4.0 is extremely close to being beta-ready, but to ensure that it's not rushed (and also for the sake of my stress levels) I'm going to be moving that beta ETA back a little bit to the first half of August. shatteredpixel.com/blog/status-... #gamedev #roguelike

Work continues on Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next quest! I'm working on the final boss currently: the Greater Elemental can swap forms, each one has weaknesses and attacks! Here's probably the simplest attack, a wave of fire with a convenient gap: #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I'll have more new content to show off next weekend, but here's a QOL change coming in Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next update. Instead of fading, danger indicators will now persist until the thing they are warning you about actually happens! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Shattered Pixel Dungeon's upcoming quest has an important room with a strange mirror. You can't take items when into the vault, so wouldn't it be nice if there was a way for the heroes to regain their signature items... (visuals are a WIP) #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

It's crazy how long every little aspect of game development takes. You're like, "Oh, I'll just fix this little thing," so you work on it for around 30 minutes then look at the clock and realize that actually 3 hours has gone by.

With a bunch of new pixel art coming in the next ShatteredPD update, I've decided to update the changes scene to use historically accurate visuals, and I've also added change notes from the original Pixel Dungeon! Current on left and new on right: #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I'm still working away at Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0, for now here's another easy treasure room appearing in the upcoming quest! You'll need to make use of that pillar to avoid getting caught by the scanning sentry on the way to the treasure. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Coming Soon to Shattered: New Enchants and Pixel Art! v4.0 has ended up being a much bigger update than expected! I'm going to share a quick update on the vault quest, then go over some very exciting things also coming in v4.0. shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #gamedev #roguelike

Coming Soon to Shattered: New Enchants and Pixel Art!

Unfortunately v4.0 is still a little ways out, it’s ended up as a much bigger update than expected! In this blog post I’m going to share a quick update on the vault quest, then go over some very excit...

Expect a status update blog post about Shattered Pixel Dungeon later this coming week. In the meantime though, here's another new larger room coming in the vault quest! It's a long hallway with a patrolling enemy and alcoves to duck out of sight. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Expect a blog post about progress toward Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0 the next week or so, but first here's a little teaser. A bunch of improvements are coming to environment visuals, including to the upcoming vault quest before it even releases! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Here's two more new/returning enchantments coming in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update! Eldritch has a chance to fear visible enemies other than your target. Crystal ALWAYS deals +25% magic damage but will crack and break if used too heavily. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

The Call for Proposals for Roguelike Celebration 2026 is OPEN! We're looking for speakers to deliver cool talks about procedural content, roguelike game design, generative art, and more! Roguelike Celebration is a virtual conference, no physical attendance required. Check it out and tell a friend!

I'm also planning to add four new weapon enchantments and two new weapon curses in the next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon! Here's two: venemous can stack up a lot of DOT but on a delay, and vorpal can replace regular damage with a bleed effect. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Here's a QOL life tweak that's coming in the next ShatteredPD update. Health bars will indicate the amount of incoming DOT by partly darkening. There are some other additions that will benefit from the player seeing total DOT at a glance. #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I want enemy designs in ShatteredPD's upcoming quest to be based in the existing dungeon regions, which gives me a chance to bring back and old enemy that was removed just about 6 years ago, the inexplicably bearded dwarven skeleton! #gamedev #roguelike #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Update:

I see what you did there @shatteredpixel.com

Here's a room for ShatteredPD's upcoming quest that I didn't share in the recent blog. The waves of lasers can be dodged with good movement, but a harder variant of the room could turn the beam speed up and require a consumable to get past. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Hey Rat Punchers! I've just released one tiny final patch for Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3, mainly just a little internal cleanup and fixes for a couple minor bugs. I'll hopefully be starting up on sharing more incremental updates about the next major update here soon! #gamedev #indiedev

Hey folks! I've been busy with expanding the tester area for Shattered Pixel Dungeon's new quest in patches to v3.3. In this blog post I'm going over all of the things I've added, and how I think they're going to fit together into a new quest! shatteredpixel.com/blog/coming-... #gamedev #indiedev

Hey folks, I'm just now releasing Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3.6! There are now a variety of implemented hazards in the new quest tester area, although they aren't currently harmful and I still need to work on more rooms types for them to appear in. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
