Heat Signature

Glitch or Treat! On the final day of Space Halloween we dive deep into an acidy nebula of warring factions in dire need of some liberation. The Foundry, The Glitchers, Offworld Security, and Sovereign are vying for control, but they didn’t account for one thing: you. Enter Heat Signature: the...

Spookiest time of the year in space! 🎃

Very glad that the game Heat Signature allows pumpkin season to last just a touch longer.

Also, #SuspicuousDevelopments' first game #Gunpoint was similarly excellent, and similarly full of throwing people out of windows in progressively more ludicrous ways.

I haven't played their second game, #HeatSignature yet but I'm going to have to get that too at some point.

Glorious.

#TacticalBreachWizards looks like a good time. Another demo that I won't be spending too much time with.

I absolutely adored Tom Francis's debut game in #Gunpoint. It was one of my games of that year. #HeatSignature didn't land at all however, but this, this looks very nice indeed.

MONTREAL Ask A Punk

would have been a perfect run, with style bonus!

but we got spotted once 

#HeatSignature #HeatSignatureDaily

Tom Francis is the author of the absolutely lovely Heat Signature, and is talking about moving from a complicated structure on the left (but one which is hard for players to track or understand) to a boring one where each zone is compact, on the right.

What makes a spaceship into a level? A sense of progression, and it needs to be obvious to the players that they're progressing.

But... how do we make the game fresh when the level differences are "trivial nonsense"? "If you can't make the shuffle interesting, make more interesting cards".

Roguelike Celebration Talks Start Tomorrow!
