Near Mint Demo got an update! We reworked some visuals, improved UX and Quality of Life, and added new fragments and updated relics! If you did not play the demo yet, this is the time!

⚠️Si vous croisez cet homme au gamecamp, ne lui donnez ⚠️SURTOUT PAS⚠️ une certaine somme d'argent genre 100k€ pour développer son jeu Near Mint il risque d'en faire bon usage et changer à tout jamais le genre du deckbuilder (bon ça peut être pas sûr)

Les fans de jrpg vous aviez de quoi manger dans ce direct. De mon côté content d'avoir une date pour Deltarune ch5 et de revoir the Duskbloods, mais sinon pas grand chose qui m'intéresse. (peut être Splatoon, à voir)

I had this idea for a 4-player dynamic splitscreen setup. Not sure if it's better than a traditional splitscreen setup, but I like the fact that you can see the relative locations of other players visually. There's interesting code behind this, I might write a blog post about it! #godot #gamedev

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

J'ai un tweet qui marche bien donc je suis repassé devant en followers sur Twitter par rapport à bluesky 😅 Je pensais que c'était mort et full bot mais pas complètement en fait. Je continuerai de juste poster là bas et de pas y traîner parce que l'algo est toujours giga toxique

🐛 NEAR MINT DEMO 🏹 Our demo is out! Expect 2 different characters to play and 2 biomes full of bizarre enemies to defeat. 🧌 The demo has >100 cards, 18 enemies and >40 relics. The boss depicted in this video is the final boss of the demo, and we did not show it anywhere yet 😳

We announced Near Mint showing 2 characters: 🛡️The Verdigris Paladin: a hero who plays with block synergies, discards and buffing his attacks. 🪤The Forlorn Stalker: she is specialized in traps, inflicting status such as poison and freeze, and sending a lot of attacks in the same turn.

Dans Near Mint, on peut reconstituer des cartes avec les fragments de sa main. Certains fragments ont des conditions spécifiques qui les font se renforcer : ici, l'une des valeurs passe de 1 à 3 si notre personnage atteint le palier des 2 de block. 🛡️ 🧩Chaque main devient un puzzle d'optimisation
