It's funny that this roguelike is advertised as a roguelite and most roguelites are advertised as roguelikes.

Yeah, the word "roguelike" seems to have rapidly lost its meaning these past couple of years.

This is great. Old school game dev where youd built the whole engine optimized for the game rather than using an over generalized mess like unity or unreal

Programming might be a roguelike game, you fail many times at a task, starting from scratch again and again, until you master the field

Real life might be a (hardcore) roguelike game too! ... except you can't restart on failure or reroll your starter kit

I know engineers don't like marketing but guys please please put screenshots before anything

Edit: okay I see them now but I quit the page once and I'm sure I'm not alone.
