I mean it's a theme, but dying earth is a genre that encompasses Jack Vance's work as well as other novels like Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun - but yeah, Jack Vance is an inspiration!

Yeah, so we've tried to walk a middle line between traditional JRPGs, and tactical games like FF: Tactics, Battle Brothers, Banner Saga etc... So there are two rows; front defends the back, but only ranged can attack from the back. Grid based like you say. Reposition takes a turn... etc.

Unless we decide to say "actually Dread Delusion was all just a dream had by this one random Entropy side character," which... I wouldn't put it past us

Heartworm is out now and you should buy it! ❀️πŸͺ± I had the pleasure of hanging out with Vincent and the team last Pax W, and I must say, they're all wonderful people. Am I saying you should buy their game just because they're nice people? Yes. Yes I am. Go buy the game. (it's also dope as hell)

Really chuffed to see @najarala.bsky.social beat Dread Delusion for #SGDQ2025! It's humbling to see someone who knows the game basically better than I do πŸ˜… Oh and pls consider donating - GDQ have already raised a ton of money for DWB, a truly great cause ❀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=L83b...

Everything is burning and I don't know what to do. But if you want to support queer art, there's never been a better time to play Dread Delusion: a retro RPG where you can domme a fascist into letting you cross a fortified border by spitting in his mouth. store.steampowered.com/app/1574240/...

tbh I think the Vagrant Story devs used some sort of psychic relay to divert 100% of Japan's latent brain power into the development of that game
