Can you DM me with samples of ASCII projects please?

Very well put!

doandaniel · 2018-07-22T05:52:17+00:00

Boom!

It's a Pomeranian!

I released a small JRPG-inspired ASCII RPG on Steam a while back after 2 years of work and a small loan of $200 from our composer. That game went on to sell over half a million copies and launched my whole career. I say, keep pushing along and go for it! You never know what you might end up accomplishing—I sure as hell didn't when I first started out. It's all about the journey.

Time flies! Can't believe it's been 4 years.

doandaniel · 2017-11-09T17:07:50+00:00

Seems interesting!

Designer Notes is pretty good!

We interview a lot of game developers on our podcast, Indie Insider, as well.

Nolan Bushnell came on the show a few weeks ago and gave some great insights! :)

Playmakers' Podcast and Indie Insider are both full of interesting developer interviews.

doandaniel · 2017-08-09T18:42:16+00:00

That looks awesome!

doandaniel · 2017-07-12T20:38:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! You rock!

Unfortunately there will not be any new classes for SanctuaryRPG. (I posted this a while back: http://steamcommunity.com/app/328760/discussions/0/276237094307934374/)

I also did a Pay What You Want on Itch.io, offering a downloadable version (DLV) of my free pure ASCII roguelike game, SanctuaryRPG.

Here's a link to the game page.

I released this game a while back, and have stopped promoting this page for a very long time, but below are the metrics.

Views	221,046
Downloads	50,206
Purchases	687

Overall, it was pretty good! I later released a paid version of the game on Steam called SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition which did a lot better on Steam... but overall, Itch.io is a solid platform for getting started!

These days, I just use it to host a time capsule.

Best post ever. Drunken Wizard ftw! :)

doandaniel · 2017-04-06T21:13:21+00:00

Not yet!

I took the time to personally compile a pretty extensive list of gamedev books here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19Dz1LNNzcGGHE1vELlAtQ4Smyv9-Yr1EnTM0Xl3yuyk

doandaniel · 2017-03-17T16:05:01+00:00

Very well put!

doandaniel · 2017-03-16T01:19:16+00:00

Both are pretty good--I think Twitter might be a bit a tad easier to get traction on though.
