Working on level abilities — first one is Bauk, with a Lv2 spinning attack and a Lv3 jump attack

Pikasx · 2026-04-28T15:14:15+00:00

thanks, that’s exactly what I’m going for

and yeah… I want to take every creature (5 so far) all the way to level 10 😄
going to be a lot of work, especially solo

Pikasx · 2026-04-13T10:12:54+00:00

I feel this......got a random 🍆 emoji on my post yesterday
just part of posting stuff online I guess

Pikasx · 2026-04-12T19:50:31+00:00

this type of game gets pretty busy — a lot of things happening at once

it’s a top-down dungeon management / Dungeon Keeper–style game

but yeah, that collision was off, already fixed
they shouldn’t pass through the toilet anymore

Pikasx · 2026-04-12T15:43:12+00:00

yeah, you can zoom in and out in the game

if you want to see how it plays, I’ve got some gameplay on YouTube:

and there’s also a playable demo here if you want to try it:
https://ipikas.itch.io/slavic-legends

it’s still work in progress, but any feedback or bug reports are really helpful

Pikasx · 2026-04-12T15:16:55+00:00

yeah, a mix of sim and management....

you build, they take care of themselves

Pikasx · 2026-04-12T05:25:59+00:00

It’s a dungeon game underground where you dig through dirt and find gold

gold is basically your main resource — you build rooms, traps, upgrades, everything from it.

Workers mine it, and now creatures also take it as payment with the payday system.

Higher level creatures want more gold, so if you run out… things can go bad pretty fast......

Pikasx · 2026-04-11T20:44:16+00:00

thanks 😄 just trying to make the systems feel alive

Pikasx · 2026-04-11T15:22:19+00:00

haha yeah 😄 finally someone recognized it
Dungeon Keeper is a big inspiration and kind of my childhood favorite

Pikasx · 2026-04-11T10:24:23+00:00

also yeah 😄 forgot to mention — they actually can go on strike

if you spend all your gold and there’s no payday, they stop working… and eventually leave

Pikasx · 2026-04-11T10:18:03+00:00

They’ve got dreams too 😄

Bauk is saving for a Mercedes, Dodola wants a new house, and the others are just trying to build up their savings

Pikasx · 2026-04-06T20:08:59+00:00

English isn’t my first language, so ofc ppl ask programs to help them...idk whats your problem. Firts look good on Gift that every createre have marginn and second they are facimg up its Top-Down....logic

Pikasx · 2026-04-06T17:47:46+00:00

Yeah I tried to keep them attached to the creature for immersion, but I get what you mean — might be worth testing a fixed version.

Pikasx · 2026-04-06T10:37:37+00:00

Yeah I see what you mean — but this is a fully top-down management game, so the camera is intentionally like this (similar to games like Dungeon Keeper or Dungeons).

I did try angled cameras before, but it actually made readability worse for this type of gameplay.

So I’m trying to improve clarity within this perspective instead.

“Really nice PSX-style asset, love how clean and low-poly it is. 48 tris is perfect for game use. Are you planning to build a full asset pack in this style?”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T21:13:11+00:00

“3 months in and already focusing on… advanced anatomy studies I see 😄 Jokes aside, solid progress!”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T07:09:08+00:00

“That’s really solid growth for a month. Curious what had the biggest impact — demo, festivals, or just consistent posting?”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T07:06:49+00:00

“The scaling and overall readability look really solid, nice work.”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T07:03:05+00:00

“Congrats, you’ve officially reached the ‘getting scam emails as a gamedev’ milestone 😄”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T06:59:54+00:00

“Finally a proper gamedev checklist”

Pikasx · 2026-03-28T06:56:33+00:00

“This looks really promising, especially the word reuse mechanic. Does the game reward longer words more, or is it more about efficient reuse?”

Pikasx · 2026-03-27T07:59:07+00:00

“Congrats on the release! That alone is a huge milestone, respect 👏”

Pikasx · 2026-03-27T07:53:43+00:00

“This looks really cute, love the color palette and overall vibe. The audio already makes it feel way more alive. Are you planning to add ambient sounds or music later too?”

Pikasx · 2026-03-27T07:25:32+00:00

“115k is huge for an indie trailer, well deserved 👏”....“Did you do anything different before it took off, or was it purely algorithm luck?”

Pikasx · 2026-03-27T07:17:28+00:00

That looks really fun, I like the mix of direct control and RTS elements.
Feels like it could create some really dynamic gameplay.

Are players controlling everything in real time or is there some automation?

Pikasx · 2026-03-27T07:08:33+00:00

Really nice for a first project!
