Graphics APIs and shader languages have significantly increased in complexity over the past decade. It’s time to start discussing how to strip down the abstractions to simplify development, improve...

We promised more mechanical transparency, and we're delivering - even in the most esoteric of places! #JupiterHellClassic

Vibe coding basically gives the effect of a client constantly requesting new requirements to a project without allocating refactoring time.

The Jupiter Hell Classic equivalent of a chess puzzle: What do you do to save the loot? Does it change depending on class/traits? :P

Metaprogression is the game designer's way of saying, "I'm not actually sure how to balance this mess."

As a few of you know I'm on a quest to finish the entirety of the main Elder Scrolls series - Morrowind has been completed, the Tribunal expansion is next!

So yeah the third idea is the ARPG one - here the permafail design would have to be more loose as the single character vs game length would be painful. So we keep an in-world explanation of rebirth when attempting 2-3 hour max missions. Death wipes loot and a part of the new XP.

Other idea was an XCom-like but with permafailure. No loading previous save files, but lethality would be toned down (think Necromunda out of action + injury). Dealing with missions gone south, cutting losses, comebacks, long-term injury, etc is an untapped area in XCom-likes.

One idea I'm playing around since a long time is merging the classic Dungeon Hack-style 90-degrees rotation dungeon crawler with a traditional DCSS-style roguelike game. Care would have to be taken to make the early game smooth, but I think there's potential.

Add in a very dark fantasy setting, more randomness in environments/missions than your average ARPG, and multiple characters within the same "run"...

My original idea was to start with roguelikes and then bring the design ideas to other genres. I see that was done without me already :P. So which merge should I go for first - blobber dungeon crawlers? Action RPGs? Or Xcom-likes?
