Got an idea that just took some time to percolate? Or maybe this post is instigating some percolation. Great! We've extended the deadline for the Roguelike Celebration CFP to July 19th! www.roguelike.club/cfp.html Even if you have a vague idea, send it in and let's figure out how to flesh it out.
Roguelike Celebration CFP
Technical talks, game design lessons, creative uses of procedural generation, interactive roguelike performances - we want to hear about it all!

I had a lot of fun writing this! I hope it serves as a useful resource to go from square zero ‘I have no idea what procgen is’ to ‘I have some idea what procgen is and I want to learn more’
Hidden Door@hiddendoor.co · 6mo agoToday on Hidden Door's not-so-hidden blog, we talk about procedural narrative + procedural generation (or procgen if you're COOL). You've probably seen procgen before, whether you know it or not. But where?! Secrets revealed, procedures explained: www.hiddendoor.co/blog/procedu...
I got really into this detailed isometric-ish map style of illustration, and did both this piece of art for my MFA program's shirt (A Pigeon's Journey) and the @roguelike.club shirt this year! I love little guys, and I love drawing tons of tiny little guys in iso view.
Thank you to all of our incredible speakers, staff, and everyone who joined us for another great year. I have so many tabs to follow up on. ALL HAIL THE OBELISK! We'll be taking a breather for a bit before we slice up videos, but you can still watch the streams: www.youtube.com/@roguelikece...
