I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

it's about time I told you.. Encroacher: Snakes, my snake-tossing cryptic retro adventure, releases August 17th!
proud to include Dyebreaker in this bundle. seen so many talented peers lose their jobs and what strikes me is how often these people are the BEST at what they do, which draws them onto important new projects that need their skill, which are then vulnerable to cuts or cancellation. it's so backwards

Assets that I made for the 2024 Roguelike Celebration Steam sale page. 🧑🎨 The tallish tile size here I'm very fond of. I choose it because it reminds me of the tall grid often in ASCII roguelikes, but it also had some benefits when it came to actually draw the tiles & sprites.
