Quick little update on Ruby Dungeon's developpement

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:

Something critical that a lot of modern tabletop RPGs that are shooting for the "shitty late 1980s/early 1990s indie RPG" vibe usually miss is laser animals. If you really want to capture the spirit of the era, your setting absolutely must have a "monster" that's just a regular animal that can shoot lasers. Doesn't matter what kind.

Real I'd rather they had the decency to spell it wrong

i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation

We may not think too highly of Bart at first, but the more we learn about him, the more he works his way into our hearts.
