Math somewhat inescapable given the core that is programming, but emphasis on it above all else tempts closer to just messing about on spreadsheets and whatnot.  Outside of projects that lean in Interestingly...like Hydra Slayer and such.

Totally feel that. Math is definitely baked into the DNA of programming, but when it's treated like the only lens, it can feel like you're just building fancy spreadsheets or solving textbook puzzles instead of making something alive and weird and personal.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: Wizard School Dropout - Be Mage Do Crime (Preview 5: 5/30/25 - Tower Management)

Preview Release 5: All Along the Watchtower has been released, adding tower management!

The headline feature for this update: You can now clean up and repair your tower, and build rooms in it that grant various bonuses or enable new actions. There are many different rooms, but a few ones I want to highlight that bring some new features to the game are:

• A training room, which actually lets you upgrade your physical stats for the first time!
• A kitchen, which lets you cook several new food recipes which have dynamic effects based on the ingredients used to make them. Most food recipes don't need to be discovered in recipe books, but are immediately available when you have a kitchen.

Full changelog at https://weirdfellows.itch.io/wizard-school-dropout/devlog/949117/release-preview-5-all-along-the-watchtower, game itself available at https://weirdfellows.itch.io/wizard-school-dropout

You're right; gamers tend to remember big, unique choices more than they do tiny, ideal ones. Perfect balance is frequently overshadowed by emotional effect, particularly in roguelikes. Do you believe that design should be guided more by "feel" than by math?

Consider adding weight and timing to combat actions, like dodging or charging, to make fights more strategic. Diversity isn't just about stats, it's about utility—including odd or rare items that can dramatically change the way you play.

Hello! Here`s  link to my itch.io :] This is 0.5h release.
This week I will release the new 0.6a! It comes with three new races: Kenkus, Gnolls and Skavens! It is being profusely tested right now by my team of Goblins and it will be released as soon as they report no bugs (other than the smashable ones in the game ).
