More work on pitches this week, though not as much as I had hoped!
You know it's serious because I broke out the index cards and made a paper prototype for ETD2. Please enjoy this thrilling reveal of the folding table I use for board games.
Sci fi Roguelike Platform Tag Shooter has colored concept art and a minor change to the upgrade sequence.
ETD2 has one rough concept art image and some minor changes
The final version of Eat the Dungeon is here! The final boss is revealed and our heroes may just save the world (and maybe their waistlines)?
None of this would have been possible without the generosity of my patrons! Thank you so much!
This update includes:
4 new levels, including their cutscenes
The final boss
14 new bestiary en...

For now, work continues on the pitch doc! Here's the summary:

Work continues on Eat the Dungeon's final update, but work also continues on Game 2!
Here's the current version of the doc for anybody who wants to check it out. The big changes are:
Dropped the bakery themed deck building Roguelike (because I wasn't confident I could pull it of)
Potion crafting pitch is more refined and has early art
A new pitch: a run and gun action platformer where your size, speed, and power fluctuate as you pick up food p...

As stated in my previous post, here's a link to a copy of my ideas doc so far. It's all very stream-of-consciousness so please forgive the disorganized state and also the first few lines where I whine about having to pay rent.
If you want to see all the stuff I've jotted down you can open the doc, but here's a quick list of my ideas so far:

Hello! Here's a little news post I wanted to write up about my future plans. I plan on making several changes, and I don't want anybody to be taken by surprise.
As mentioned previously, the next update to Eat the Dungeon will be v1.0, the final content update. It will include the final four levels, the final boss, as well as all cutscenes and bestiary entries for those final levels, all in one go. Any updates after v1.0 will be bug fixes only.
Once v1.0 is ...

It's here! At last! The long awaited gallery option! Now you can look at all those pretty pictures without having to deal with that pesky gameplay getting in the way!
What's that? What about people who hate pictures, you ask? What about people who want to read a bunch of text and lore and plot and boring stuff like that? Don't worry, if you're boring we got all the text you can s...

Here it is, the final character poll! The last playable character will be the Beastkin. As there's only two options for her, there will be no tiebreaker poll after this. This is the last character poll, so make your vote count!
Hi there! I fixed two bugs with yesterday's update: the stage Circumzenithal now loads its enemy sprites correctly, and the common elements list for stages is now working correctly

A new adventurer: The Spy! To unlock him, get a B-rank or higher on The Rotten Shore

Say hello to our spy! He'll be added the game soon!

It's time to vote for the final playable male character: The Spy! Please note that due to the small number of options, there will be no tiebreaker poll. The winner of this poll will be added as a playable character.

Have you ever wanted to look at the enemy stats without the pressure of battle? Do you dream of seeing the enemy art without all that nasty UI in the way? Don't you want nothing more than to see the adventurers prattle on about nothing and make dumb jokes?
Have I got the solution for you!

2025-04-29 20:32:44 +0000 UTC View PostAnother poll, this time for what characters you consider underpowered! Specifically, who's too niche or hard to use, so you never have a reason to bring them.
2025-03-24 18:22:16 +0000 UTC View PostHello I wanted to gather some opinions about the game to inform some decisions. I've gotten some anecdotal evidence from comments (Illusionist, for instance) but I want to hear as many opinions as possible. This poll will be available both to paid patrons and the public so I can gather as much information as possible.
I would like to know which characters people consider to be overpowered. Mainly that they are too useful in too many levels, and crowd out the other characters.

2025-03-17 18:30:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I wanted to have a discussion about future features to be added to Eat the Dungeon and I'm interested in your comments and feedback.
Approximately 10000 standard years ago, I wrote a roadmap for ETD that you can access from my patreon's About page. I've been following it very loosely for a while now. Among the things I put on there was "Hard mode/Endless Mode", two ideas I'm no longer super into.
So I'm thinking of replacing them with other features, but I'm having a hard ...

This update includes the Raider! You can unlock her by getting a B rank or better on the Bonus Stage after the Incubus Trainer.
This also includes:
Fixed the game not resizing properly in larger windows (Once again, special thanks to matiastorres on weightgaming.com for their help with this)

Please look forward to her being added to the game soon!

The winner will be added to the game as a playable character!

Please vote for your favorites! The top two results will go to the final poll!
Wow we're really getting close to the end of these polls aren't we? Please vote for who you want the 19th female adventurer to be!

Hello! I have climbed out of the Depression Hole™ long enough to test and post the QoL update! How long until I fall back into it? Let's find out together!
This update is mostly Quality of Life upgrades for ease of use, but also includes new player character sprites and even a few cutscenes! Read the patch notes below for an exact list.
If you encounter any bugs you can ...
2025-01-07 20:04:36 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
The next update I will put out will be a bunch of Quality of Life improvements to the current game. There's quite a few things that can be smoothed over or polished!
Below I'll list all the things I'm considering. Now that isn't to say I'll do all of them! Some of them might turn out to be unnecessary or prohibitively difficult/time-consuming to accomplish. But I want your opinions about them, and I also want to hear what QoL features you would li...

The genie will be our Magus! Look forward to him being added to the game soon!
That’s right! Soon! Along with all the other characters, as well as many npcs, levels, and cutscenes. The next update will include 90% of the stuff that was supposed to be released over the past year.
I can‘t say exactly when but most everything is done, I just have to update the art for the world map and test everything.
It seems like every time I try to give a precise timeline for the next u...
