columbo should be public domain. he should be allowed to show up in anything. the columbo episode should be one of the standard types of tv episode like the beach episode or the episode where a character shrinks and explores the insides of someone's body
I believe everything should be offline, I believe that every time something that is not your internet browser (and I'm being generous here) should have a big red alert that says THIS PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM NEEDS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AND REQUESTS YOUR CONSENT TO DO THIS SPECIFIC THING, and you had to touch a big red button and it would disconnect as soon as you close it.
okay, just sit there and listen. i'm having this problem with my code, see? i think it's something to do with this function here... are you still listening? you are? good duck
In case anyone here follows me for Ruby Dungeon's related content (I don't think many do, the updates got little attention so far, but just in case), I just wanted to pop by to say that the game's not dead, I'm still actively working on it and great progress is being made.
I don't want to make content-related devlogs publically so to not spoil the game, nor release the content as it's being made because of the exploratory and open nature of the game, as slowly releasing stuff would force people into a single linear path, which isn't the intended experience.
What I can say though, is that 2 areas, a new ennemy type, more noticeable stat variety on existing ennemies, a new healing item and two special events have been added to the game so far in the past three weeks.
As for quality of life, I've just made a little rework of the inventory system to make it a lot more ligible:
I'm now working on a new higher level shopping area for the game, which isn't my favorite part to work on honestly. The progress to work ratio there is much smaller due to the amount of assets and texts that need to be made for the content, wheras a new area only take a few parameters, a few paragraphs, a single picture and a song, and bosses don't take much more then that either.
Therefore, it's probably gonna be a few days, if not weeks, before I'm done with the new shops. Once that's done though, progress should be much faster again, and the first half of the game should be quick work.
Thank you to anyone staying tuned for the game, and hoping to continue making progress fast.
If you haven't already, don't hesitate to check out the demo for Ruby Dungeon on my itch.io page:

Was working on a trail and now I'm stuck drawing with light - both forward and backward in time. Fun!
Will probably tone it down later, too bright.
Also, new area inspired by Moria from LOTR.
This combines all integral aspects of my identity. I'll never find anything that makes me as happy as elf Columbo with a big egg
