In this game, Dinkers offer 2 points if collected directly, or a chance to bypass for a different piece. Skip Jacks require open water to capture, adding a layer of spatial strategy. #BoardGames #StrategyGames #TabletopGaming #GameMechanics

And latest development of the "Appleman" for #BilouDreamland would suggest to use the following guideline: When you have those nice puzzle #GameMechanics and want to enter #LevelDesign, ask yourself the following question:

Randomness isn't just about rolling dice; it's about managing panic. If a random roll only results in flat damage, you miss out on improvisational chaos.

How do you handle RNG?

You can use items in the overworld rather than in battles. I think these would not only be great to be used as a way to find areas in the game but to also be used as tools. I hate when most items are just 'keys' but with extra steps. I want my items to be actually good. #indie #horrorgame #devlog

This is the Hollowmist Mantis, a sentinel that hunts creatures or beings that wander into the mist that surrounds the forest. The deeper into the mist you go, the more powerful these beings become.

This is the Spider Bat, another strange creature found in the Labyrinth Realm. You only see these if you cut through their webs. They also have a venom that causes temporary paralysis.

(11/11) And that about does it for the characters and the player! I believe next we should cover #gamemechanics. I have two in mind, but one is more complex than the other at the moment, so I’m going to post them both tomorrow. Stay tuned~
