Quick Little Update On Ruby Dungeon's Developpement

Quick little update on Ruby Dungeon's developpement

In case anyone here follows me for Ruby Dungeon's related content (I don't think many do, the updates got little attention so far, but just in case), I just wanted to pop by to say that the game's not dead, I'm still actively working on it and great progress is being made.

I don't want to make content-related devlogs publically so to not spoil the game, nor release the content as it's being made because of the exploratory and open nature of the game, as slowly releasing stuff would force people into a single linear path, which isn't the intended experience.

What I can say though, is that 2 areas, a new ennemy type, more noticeable stat variety on existing ennemies, a new healing item and two special events have been added to the game so far in the past three weeks.

As for quality of life, I've just made a little rework of the inventory system to make it a lot more ligible:

I'm now working on a new higher level shopping area for the game, which isn't my favorite part to work on honestly. The progress to work ratio there is much smaller due to the amount of assets and texts that need to be made for the content, wheras a new area only take a few parameters, a few paragraphs, a single picture and a song, and bosses don't take much more then that either.

Therefore, it's probably gonna be a few days, if not weeks, before I'm done with the new shops. Once that's done though, progress should be much faster again, and the first half of the game should be quick work.

Thank you to anyone staying tuned for the game, and hoping to continue making progress fast.

If you haven't already, don't hesitate to check out the demo for Ruby Dungeon on my itch.io page:

We may not think too highly of Bart at first, but the more we learn about him, the more he works his way into our hearts.

This is true but also, people who use AI typically do not want something new, they want something that already exists, but in a lesser form they can claim ownership over. The primary use case of AI is to plagiarize, to reorder someone else's work, no matter whose, and put it on a leash.

The more you understand AI, the more you realize that it can't replace artists. It just can't. Even using the AI to make something requires being a creative human with an idea. Generative AI literally runs on a data set, it cannot conceptualize things that do not already exist -- or even things that DO but aren't in its data. And honestly, sometimes even the best models have a pretty hard fucking time conceptualizing things that very much do exist in their data set. The whole concept of creativity revolves around being able to conceptualize a unique idea that lives inside your brain. Being able to regurgitate things that already exist and being able to flesh out a fully original idea are completely opposite things. Even when you are prompting an AI model to generate something that you thought up, you have to explain it in terms of things that already exist so the AI can create it from those pre-existing pieces. If AI existed in 1930 you could not ask it to generate an image of gollum, because Tolkien did not create him yet. Do you see what I'm saying??????

Lt. La Forge from Star Trek The Next Generation presenting a viewscreen with fan art of Miku Hatsune in the style of various regions. He says "We could experience countless regional Miku Hatsune variants and not even know" Riker asks "This could happen to any region?" Third panel is LaForge , but his uniform is now teal and he has Miku Hatsune's pigtails. He answers "Any point in space-time could be affected"

Hey there! I'm reaching out because Giselle is facing brain surgery soon, and she's really in need of support to cover her medical and recovery expenses. Even a small donation can make a huge difference for her during this tough time. If you could click the link below to donate or share it with others, it would mean so much to her!
