• Small Bugfix Released
  February 29, 2020 by Balmonec

• Development Day 8: Success!
  March 09, 2019 by Balmonec

  I know this is a 7-day roguelike, so putting Day 8 at the top of a post is somewhat odd, but its really a 168-hour roguelike, and I did finish on time. I am super excited! It isn't as polished as I h... Continue reading

  
• Development Day 7: Learning Spells
  March 09, 2019 by Balmonec

  When I got home from work this evening, I calculated that I will have to complete a feature on the list from yesterday about every 3 hours and 15 minute in order to get them done on time. That's if I... Continue reading

• Development Day 2: Dijkstra Map Woes
  March 04, 2019 by Balmonec

  First off, I just realized that if I count yesterday as Day 1, since I started work at 5:00 PM, I'll be up to Day 8 by the time the end of the week rolls around, since I'll be working in 8 different c... Continue reading

  March 03, 2019 by Balmonec#7drl
