Hi, thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday.

NET.CRAWL is an innovative grid-building roguelike with an original cyber-theme and dozens of mind-bending boss-fights.

Hi @redmountaingames.bsky.social, and thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!

I've recently launched another playtest for my turn based roguelite city builder Into the Depths.

More caves to conquer, more cards and more fun! Still working on polishing.

I also recommend checking out ΠœΠΎΠ»Ρ‡Π°Ρ‚ Π΄ΠΎΠΌΠ° (Molchat doma), Ploho, Π‘ΡƒΠ΅Ρ€Π°ΠΊ (Buerak), тСлСэкран and ИюльскиС Π΄Π½ΠΈ. They sound quite similar. Only if you don't mind listening to lyrics in russian, though :)

Into the Depths is a turn based city builder fused with a card game, where you explore an underground world and try to survive in caves with depleting resources.

Took me a lot of effort to build the courage to start talking about my game. It takes me long time to come up with the things to write about.
And how many hours I've spent hesitating before sending another message / email to people I don't know! T_T

It's been a long journey! Originally, I planned to release the game sometime in December, but halfway through development I realized it would take longer than I expected xD
Hopefully, I'll finish it by spring...

As 2025 comes to an end, I want to say thank you to all the wonderful people I met this year.
Even though I'm used to game jams and making small games, only recently did I realize how thrilling it is to see people enjoy my game and write reviews. A truly new experience!
