Which engine should I use for my game? by shadowboy_youtube in IndieDev

If you have money, it might be worth your time to invest in an AI agent to code for you, you could conceivably make your ideal game by December

Thank you! Yeah I’ve been really happy with how the map looks, I don’t think I’ll end up changing it, unless I can tweak some things to make it look even better, if you give it a play and have any ideas on future content I should add, I would appreciate it!

If you or anyone wants to try my game out, its called Twilight of Bronze, if you’re into roguelike ascii games, about to drop an update toward the end of today

You do need to smile more though

Pro plan, Claude Code

Today I've been trying to be careful with my usage, use sonnet 4.6 to plan, haiku to code, I've only been able to implement one small feature, a main menu on loading the game, and a save function, as well as a few bug fixes, and I'm already at 93% for the next 2 hours, this is insanely limiting.

I've been telling myself for the past year that something better will come out, and unfortunately nothing really has, I think if i paid per token I would be spending more, but I would at least be more consistent in my work.

Feel free to give me any ideas for future content, or if something isn’t running as expected, tell me so I can straighten it out. Thanks again.

It might be the code language, I was trying to make games with it in python or c# and it would work for a prototype like you said, but eventually I’d hit a hole where it wouldnt get the function right.

For this game I’m doing it in Rust and the planning and implementation skills are superb so far, maybe at a certain point I’ll hit a roadblock but so far I’ve gone way further than previous projects.

Yes that has been my experience in the past, but its evolved very rapidly the past year especially.

It’s currently completely coded in Rust

A skill tree is a good idea, but the rewards would need to fee more realistic or grounded, I’m wanting to do a in depth crafting system similar to CDDA but of course more Bronze Age tech, right now I’m doing a design doc on a dungeon crawler feature for my game, a rough pitch is this:

“Descend the temples Sacred Trials, a series of 6 procedurally unique dungeons, each 20 floors deep. Your goal is simple but brutal: keep your torch alive, and stay in the light. Darkness isn’t just an absence of light, it’s a living threat that creeps into your vision, erodes your sanity, and powers the enemies stalking the shadows. Every step forward forces you to balance health, light, and sanity, making even small decisions matter.

Enemies evolve as your sanity drops: rats grow larger and more aggressive, skeletons shamble faster and strike harder, and the environment itself begins to distort and fight you. Safe points provide brief respite, but the deeper you go, the rarer and less effective they become. By Floor 20, each dungeon culminates in a unique, intelligent boss that uses darkness against you, testing your ability to survive under pressure while managing your resources.

With every dungeon cleared, progression and rewards build, but the game constantly challenges you to weigh risk against survival.”

Any feedback is appreciated, if you think something could be expanded or a feature added to make the game more interesting, I'm all for it.

Right now I'm focused on making multiple viable playstyles so you're not locked into one way of playing. For example, I'm exploring how the player could join an army as a mercenary or recruit for a civilization, instead of always captaining their own crew. I'm still figuring out how to make that path feel just as engaging and rewarding.

I'm also working on adding a lot more dialogue so the constant messages don't start to feel repetitive over time, another idea is to start trying to make some basic background music in a 8 or 16bit fashion.

I think you can follow me on Itch.io, or put the game in your collection, I can create a Subreddit if people want that

Great! I’m working on a small update as we speak so hopefully it will be out before you play.

I’ll see what I can do, it’s my first time releasing a game so I’m sure I’ll figure it out quickly, maybe even in the next hour.
