···11+Sun, Jun 7
22+33+Beautiful sunday afternoon and of course I have some kind of chest cold / bronchitis. Was annoying to sleep with and hoping the kids don't get it.
44+55+But for now I'm sitting outside thinking through the game high level.
66+77+This is the 4th or 5th game I've prototyped since starting to learn Odin / Raylib and try game development. I think this is the first prototype that both feels "small" enough and also in-line with my actual interests in games that I could see it out of the prototype phase. I love roguelites and have always wanted to try making a more rhythm-driven, combat-focused RPG.
88+99+A roguelite feels like it gives me the space to focus on those elements without getting overwhelmed with all of the other gameplay elements that need to exist in a classic turn-based RPG.
1010+1111+I started this out by doing some back and forth planning with GPT-5.5. I intend to primarily hand-code and use GPT for learning/discovery/rubber ducking, which has also been the way that has felt most natural and least risky for agentic LLM usage for me lately.
