One Last Sacrifice Closed Beta is coming. Join us on March 13. #indiegame #autobattler #gamedev

Tuned my creature placement animation. First boring. Then snappy. Now snappy and impactful. Quite happy with the result. #indiedev #autobattler

Mockery forces enemies to hit your taunt. Meanwhile your Vultureblade sits on a flanking position picking off their weakest unit. Positioning games within positioning games.

Genuine question for auto-battler fans: how important is lore to you? Do you care WHY you're placing creatures on a board or is the gameplay enough on its own?

Which sounds more fun? A) Sync PvP -- both players live B) Async PvP -- play at your own time again a real board, just not live OLS has both. But which one would you actually play more?

Balatro proved a card game with weird mechanics can find a massive audience. That gives me hope every single day. What's the weirdest game mechanic that actually hooked you?

What's the ideal match length for an auto-battler? Reply with a number in minutes. I've got playtest data but I want to see if it matches what you actually want.

I wanted a fantasy world that felt genuinely alien. Not "Earth but with magic." Not "Tolkien but darker." Something where you look at a creature and think "what IS that." What game world felt the most genuinely strange to you?

What's more satisfying? A) One massive creature destroying everything B) A full board of synergizing units working together Wrong answers only.

Storybook Brawl was the best auto-battler ever made and its shutdown left a hole in the genre. I'm not trying to copy it. I'm trying to fill that same feeling of "my choices actually matter." What did SBB do that no other auto-battler has matched?

I keep a "bad ideas" document. 47 pages. Highlights include: "creatures that evolve based on real-world weather" and "a faction that only works on Tuesdays." What's the worst game idea you've ever had? I need to feel better about mine.

Today's solo dev schedule: - Morning: fix matchmaking bug - Afternoon: design new creature - Evening: answer Discord messages - Night: wonder if I should've just made a platformer What does your dev day look like?

Creatures in OLS have two upgrade tiers. Not just stat bumps - actual ability changes. Splitspawn Blob starts summoning 2/1 Bloblings on death. Fully upgraded? It summons copies of itself. Same creature, completely different threat. What's the wildest unit evolution you've seen in a game?

No elves. No dragons. No pay-to-win. Just tactical creature combat where your decisions actually matter. And your creatures carry between matches. What would make you try a new auto-battler right now?

Thinking about running community tournaments during the closed beta. Would you rather see 1v1 brackets or 8 player eliminiation style tournaments?

What's your biggest frustration with current auto-battlers? Serious question. I read every reply and it directly affects what I build.

After years of following and supporting #indiegames and #gamedev, it’s finally happening: Our game "Kernelbay" has a "Coming Soon" page on @steampowered.com and we're part of the Fishing Fest! 🎣 It would mean the world if you could wishlist & repost🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3686480/...

A strong start carries you far #gamedev #autobattler
