So i started making a bible for #RogueSouls to consolidate a bunch of my notes which had become fragmented, and i realized along the way that it was legit starting to look more like a ttrpg book.

I also did a terrible thing and slashed my "class" list from 28 down to 12 when i realized that many of them felt more like sub-classes than full, proper character classes. Simplicity, eh?

Over the last week I've also expanded some of the mechanics that differentiate classes, which include some more proactive dice rolls and alternatives to failure for the vast majority of actions/rolls.

I know Discord is like, the plague but I need to "build a community" to help promote my game #RogueSouls bc I'm smol and preoccupied with development and taking care of my family.

I don't need advice at this point, I really just need warm bodies to show up who may (or may not, as long as you're polite) give a shit.

I'm happy to answer questions and post cool shit about the game (mostly answer questions but happy to talk shop since there isn't much to look at right now).

Would you participate in a Discord to help a transgirl promote her indie game? Would you boost this to help visibility?

Do you have any experience moderating on Discord and would you be willing to volunteer your time to this endeavor?

Depicted here is some console logging from active development on #RogueSouls.

Trade Routes are evaluated and collected into Trade Mains, which are then evaluated & sorted so as to identify ideal locations for interstellar empires.

Today I started coding the resources and heuristic so I can develop a model for empires to select appropriate strategies and actions.

My wife and I have been talking about the kinds of game systems and skills we want to support.

Our current game in development #roguesouls, is a visual novel and won't contain many of the designs we're presently working on.

We are hoping to make more than one game however, and as we are both fans of the cozy, immersive sim, and rpg genres, we're hoping one or another is on the horizon.

Our next project will depend a great deal on the success of our current project, so please boost the signal and help our fledgling game studio take flight! 💜

My crowdfunding campaign for #RogueSouls is now live on Kickstarter!

Last week I implemented a framework for a data-driven skill system. It's a twofer: basis for an interactive skill system and the first step in mod support. 👍
