    was working on this in like 2020 based on experiences breaking down fighting game mechanics when mentoring ppl started improving the art for it, but got discouraged when I found out about Shogun Showdown I'll probably still return to it at some point (also there was multiplayer) #gamedev

    I just watched the credits of Shogun Showdown, for me one of the top 3 rogue-lite deckbuilders ever. If you liked Balatro but have already played it too much, try Shogun. I enjoy it even more (and it's even more addictive😅). store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/...

    Ok so this is cheating bc the game actually came out in 2024, but I somehow never checked it out…Shogun Showdown is a really cool concept that seems beautifully executed. The demo shows off a really smart approach to roguelike risk-reward and the battles feel amazing.

    Shogun Showdown (Game) Fun little turn based roguelike with a big focus on movement and positioning. Its pretty well made and the best thing about this one is how runs don't take too long, so its pretty easy to just pick up and play without too much commitment. Crossbow goes brrrrr

I did a lot of #gamedev on #StarSpark: - Tons of combat updates/rebalancing based on feedback - Added cooldowns to actions so they can't be spammed - Cool new special action background - Made a Burst action with animations - Made a CRT shader that can be toggled - Lots of planning
