7DRL 2025 coming to a close this weekend, been seeing some nice projects approaching completion, like these on the discord server from elliotbnvl, jacob_marks, and pecatus.

@vampiress Dammit. Now I'm thinking about roguelikes again. Hopefully I can hold this off until #7drl.
Happy and flabbergasted to report that Piss and Vinegar, the traditional #roguelike game I made for the 7 Day Roguelike challenge, came in 7th out of 160. I've spent the last month mainly looking at everything I should've done differently, but apparently I got some things right after all.

I made a thing!
Piss and Vinegar is a traditional #Roguelike game made in 7 days for #7drl. It's main goal is to channel the chaotic, swingy combat of #Arkane's Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, so yes, you can kick enemies into the environment.

Each year I also stream #7DRL entries, an annual roguelike jam I've participated in a couple times but more often just serve as a judge. 7-day Roguelikes are great experimentation beds, so it's fun to play through a bunch of them and see just how creative they are. I did a huge #postmortem for my own 2018 7DRL, a second take on the Cogmind concept: https://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2018/03/7drl-postmortem-part-1-preparation/
#Cogmind was at first a #7DRL in 2012, just a spinoff from "X@COM" literally using much of the same code base (pretty interesting considering how different they are!), and after a few months of intermittent updates to fix some bugs and address a few feature requests, I set it aside with no plans to revisit it.
