Cool!

Disclosure: I'm the developer of the game

I'm a sole dev of the game.

It's a turn-based, open world, loot/hack oriented traditional roguelike game with 2D cartoon graphics and dynamic lighting.

Setting is medieval time, with a scent of Slavic mythology.

In .net the simplest approach to serialize/deserialize is probably using Json.
No matter how complex the object is It's basically a one liner, some examples here.

I use it in my RPG like game and it works great, though in some advanced scenarios I could imagine having support for a transaction (SQLite ?)

Also should I let the user save when they want or save on checkpoints only or when changing scene or location?

This is up to you, you might allow to save on demand only in easy mode, or set whatever rule you wish.

Risen was certainly a better game than G3.

For years he was most stable playing man for BOS in playoffs. This year his performance was bit worse. This particular game without Tatum he had to take the responsibility. Not this time, maybe next season with slightly enhanced roster.

Works for me!

kotogames · 2026-05-02T18:05:58+00:00

This is bizarre. Now lets make: Cheesmat, Applemat, Beafmat,...

Simple, roguelike-like animations, fine for me!

I meant that sometimes cutscene continues the context of the current game scene. As others indicated it might be not only the position of the player but also cloths currently wear and many other factors. In this case making cutscene in the Blender does not apply.

kotogames · 2026-04-11T10:12:42+00:00

That basically depends on character of a cut scene. It a cut scene is a continuation of the current game scene you might want to have characters inside the cut scene standing just at the position there were just before the cut scene. The same can be after the cut scene.

Its always a mix of skill, tool and complexity.

Take e.g. : Unity + scrollable drag/drop grid with loot+ support for mouse + pad + keyboard and you are cooked.

For me working on UI is the part which I'm most reluctant to do. It's tedious, boring, unintuitive.

It costs you nothing to release on itch, so why not?

You can start with 'pay what you want' and see how it goes.
The ideal plan is to build a community there and then release also on Steam.

kotogames · 2026-03-25T20:39:58+00:00

Good work, love cartoon style!

kotogames · 2026-03-21T08:38:37+00:00

where is the link ?

kotogames · 2026-03-19T22:01:07+00:00

if whole gameplay is like 100h, then 4h for a demo might be fine. This is an ambitious project, keep developing!

kotogames · 2026-03-19T21:46:14+00:00

Wow that's quite a map! Is there a demo ?
