Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.
When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.
That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪

*not have things be so predictable
As an indie roguelike dev it's a bit of:
a) yeah, kinda
b) it's a format that allows the dev to play the game and not have things be not predictable
c) players DEMAND infinite content. I know not everyone does, but a lot of people do the "$/hour" valuation of video games and we need them to buy lol
New article time!!!

I talked recently to an indie developer who was given the consultation that they should carve out a part of their UI for Northerlion to put his face cam.
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
I finally made it

Smart Guy: I gave 44 rocks of OpenCrack to my Claudeswarm to regulate my breathing but Gurpsqrl pinged every 1.5s asking “is it time to inhale yet” and smoked all 44 rocks in 12 minutes, after which I started suffocating.
Me: I just breathe naturally.
Guy: lol enjoy using 2% of your brain Luddite
