Ok, big code move from Lua/Love2D to C++ and the Cute Framework. No shade on Lua, it was always going to be C/C++ for me 🤷🏾♂️ No big UI changes except for the Dear IMGUI features baked into the CF. I'm shooting for a fall Steam demo. Zero Day Bandits still the working title. #gamedev #indiegamedev
The eXorcists vs The Reavers. Newport Centre Mall, Hoboken. Mimic, after a round of bullet hell w/Pretty Boy: "Look out, he's got a gun" Two issues left. Wild Talents. My thoughts at my new web-home. www.playfearless.games/p/field-note...
One of my favorite (pre-final) spreads in my TTRPG Lifted: Indomitable RPG (Primed by Cortex). Reviewing it earlier this week, I got those "I'm Real Boy, now" feelz. Thanks, @ndpdesign.com I love how good you make me look!!
Yeah....the internet heat was on brand. This flick totally RAWKED!! Krem is teh Bestest!! Prolly gonna go see it again. I've just started reading the GN SG: Woman of Tomorrow, and I like how it's starting out.
also mad-dice.com has ORE dice! I've been running Wild Talents a couple of sessions with normal dice to figure it all out. Tomorrow we use Real ORE Dice, and the eXorcists (Pixe, Polaris, Mimic and Old Man Creed) get a visit from HEL— uhhh.. LIMBO! I think I'm going with "Pryor Causes"
Pull a card from a 52-card deck and the deck changes. Pull twenty more and you'll watch it get colder — fewer suits, lower variance, the deck telling you what it has left to give. A poker deck is a randomizer with memory. Dice are amnesiacs.
Wild Talents: the eXorcists. Session Zero: vs MARAUDERz @orklord.bsky.social x @madjay.bsky.social
Alright, returning to my roots. Prepping a series by request, Wild Talents RPG, featuring a return of the eXorcists. My Canva mood board.

Sexing up my placeholder graphics w/Canva while waiting on my double cappuccino! ☕️ WFCS > WFH #indiegamedev
A Zero Day Bandits (prototype) update. Mad love to Brian Cronin: Black Box Sim for Roguelikes youtu.be/jhcHlg7YhPg?... helped me organize my shit. Anyways, took a break to update my graphics a little and added a preview screen. #indiegamedev
#TurnBasedThursday Seeing everyone’s art/ui work today inspiring❤️ The diverse graphic details help me think about my WIP art direction. Zero Day Bandits (my Netrunner-inspired deckbuilder RPG) is still deep in prototype mode — placeholders everywhere. Thanks for hosting @runelightowl.bsky.social
A little something-something I’ve been working on with the most awesome @scorchadoom.bsky.social Creativity in the TTRPG space. Should be going live today, it’s been a while since I did any podcast work, a brotha’s a bit rusty!
Dogs walked, coffee brewed. back to discovering the shape of this cyber-hacker deckbuilder thing. Night club system nodes at the top, card 'deck' at the bottom. Thinking about card resolution mechanics, turn structure, stealing from Netrunner and SR:Crossfire until I figure it out. #indiegamedev
Easy Sunday morning. Working my Advent coffee calendar and 'discovering the shape of fun' in a prototype for a deckbuilder game that should already exist. Discovering things you can do with a digital card deck that you can not or wouldn't do with a physical one, like destroying a card! 👀🤬 #indiedev
Catching up on #inktober #inktober2025 Day 2. Weave. I think I found a nib I like.
