I'll think on it and get back to you.

Thanks, I've always told @CulturedUrbanite that we needed a real professional on board.

Do you think it's Ok for the game to look so similar to the other indie roguelikes above? Is the game missing too many UI elements to tell right now?

Slay the spire looks good, if your game turned out like that it would be great

I can name one person who would heavily disagree.

Well he's wrong (even if he is a genius)

I don't want to be mentioned in regards to any of this.

899

Why?

It would be far more interesting gamewise if you just had a massive 10x10 bejewled board and the fucking "info" was presented a la stdin in and out

901

I need 1/3 of my screen dedicated to what dumb hats I've got "equipped".

902

I'll take that criticism to heart.

903

How do you think I can differentiate the game from "Bejeweled 3" while not going too far into "Peglin"?
I certainly agree that I spent too much effort trying to make this demo presentable and to show a general idea, rather than making it "interesting".
There is still a lot of room to improve it, we can discuss this on TS if you want.

904

About 5 days of work in the last 2 weeks went into underlying systems that have basically nothing to do with the game itself and are just code refactors.

905

You've just made a dungeon crawler that plays a bejeweled minigame for progression. I really think the interesting idea was to merge the "dungeon crawler" into the bejeweled board.

906

You've just crudely stuck pinball onto a game rather than building a game into pinball itself.

907

The "Dungeon crawling" board currently is running the same functions as the battle board, it's just a matter of game design of how to make it more interesting than "Walk into monster"
The broughlike design is a big inspiration, but can it work in a bejeweled setting?

908

At this point start working on the narrative; there's no saving this sinking ship.

It's not sinking, it's only been a week and a half and the game has barely changed.

You are never going to escape the feeling that the "bejeweling" is some tacked on minigame gimmick if you aren't bejeweling the entire time.
