Part-time Solo Dev ✨ Glyphscape is out NOW on Steam ✨ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3103690/Glyphscape/ Major Update 1.1 Coming Soon! 🎮 Play the Demo!! Give me feedback!! 🎮 Smaller projects live on itch.io: https://geouug.itch.iohttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3ml7n2tzl522zWell AFAIK everything is in place for v1.1, and now it's time to re-learn the new shortest path so I can test every class a few times before release. I will be unable to code next week, so I plan to spend the time gathering as much play data as possible.06 May 2026 21:22 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7n2tzl522zhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mkxb3u2zgc2kHere's a quick and dirty mockup of an alternative ASCIIDECK layout that I have been considering. The current layout has a good amount of wasted space, and this layout should greatly reduce the amount of eye activity demanded. Looking left to right between panels gets tiring. #GameDev #SoloDev03 May 2026 13:26 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkxb3u2zgc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mktg2bsnyk2eA bird's-eye view of the entrance to the northern plateau.

Lunamin in 3D! I'm a bit surprised that the entire continent can be rendered like this while keeping a decent frame rate. In reality, the player will never need to see that far.02 May 2026 00:09 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkte3jaqek2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mktask3aes2uAfter some more visual fidelity it is becoming clear to me that the fantasy world that I created for #Glyphscape is in fact Just Florida. #SoloDev #Godot #GameDev01 May 2026 23:10 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mktask3aes2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mkgxdg26sc2kThe fruits of today's labor: I was able to replace the placeholder data with the actual world data from #Glyphscape, so now it's just a matter of filling in missing geometry and textures!

Seems like a development detour but I do actually expect that porting my own game will expose where exactly I still have hard-coded data to pry out.26 Apr 2026 14:20 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkfqtp7gsk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mkdjuhujcc2lReturning to an old project this weekend - a system for rendering the world of #Glyphscape in 3D. Just for fun, but who knows maybe I'll make a first-person mode. #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev25 Apr 2026 17:10 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkdjuhujcc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mjkelre3ek2eWhy is "don't reinvent the wheel" considered good advice in any context?? Wheels (literal wheels) get reinvented all the time. There are so many types of wheels.15 Apr 2026 16:59 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjkelre3ek2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mibqd25o722bThe soup dog had 3 dental chew shapes left this morning.

No more procedurally generated blade/handle combinations! The art for each weapon will be unique to that weapon. #indiedev #solodev #ascii #RPG #Glyphscape06 Mar 2026 01:29 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mge5xbvbis22https://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mge5gfwjlc2vHere's a sneak peak at some of the equipment upgrades coming in #Glyphscape v1.1! Every piece of apparel and weapon is getting a fresh coat of paint, and many new pieces are being added. #indiedev #solodev #ascii #RPG06 Mar 2026 01:19 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mge5gfwjlc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mfv53ll36s2wThe first major update for #Glyphscape is coming along. Steam achievements, new equipment types, and over 150 new enemy types on the way! Unfortunately 1.0 saves will not be compatible with version 1.1. The good news is it's still at least a week out. #indiedev #solodev #rpg #ascii28 Feb 2026 02:03 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfv53ll36s2whttps://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3mf45r2wvls2bJust started playing Arcanum and the opening cinematic screams "pre-9/11".

The most true thing I have heard on a show of otherwise true things. Make those mistakes, people. Some people are into those. @hankgreen.bsky.social17 Feb 2026 14:07 +0000at://did:plc:45batgfltgoko7jwtbf3nygx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf2qg3oais23https://bsky.app/profile/geouug.com/post/3meevbsvcxc2fBeen on an absolute tear this weekend making new equipment for Glyphscape.
