The Road to 7DRL 2025

Only a few hours remain until the beginning of the 7 Day Roguelike challenge of 2025! This year, for the first time, I'm working as part of a two-person team (together with my good friend Stefan Isailović), and we'll be posting our progress here! This time it's going to be a treacherous week, as this time around I'm not taking a week off from work to dedicate to the challenge, but I honestly feel good with that given how much I trust my teammate!

Together, we've spent several months now developing a library for roguelike development. This will be a big test for that library, and I'm a bit antsy about it... There are so many features we wanted to tackle and didn't get it for the 7DRL. It's easy to forget that the rest of the year also exists and is to be used for development! I'm hoping for more time than last year, when I had to move for work, so basically disappeared from the face of the earth once the votes were counted. I want to actually be part of this community, even when my actions talk against me!

Right, off to sleep soon, and hoping for a quick start tomorrow morning, and talk of a starting design for the game we're going to be making! Cheers!
