Just rolled credits on Blue Prince, this is a great puzzle game. But I'm feeling very mixed about whether the game needed any roguelike mechanics at all. And this game desperately needs the ability to save during runs, my last two runs were 2+ hours each.

It was cool learning how Dungeonmans' Battle Poultry skill system was in part based on SaGa Frontier's monster absorption system (Roguelike Radio Ep. 158, 43m53s). SaGa Frontier was one of my favorite games as a kid and throughout high school.

A brief summary for those curious:
In Dungeonmans, your battle poultry can eat steaks that enemies drop on death, to gain some of their attributes and learn their abilities, and this can also change what your battle poultry looks like. (Battle poultry are like pets or familiars)

I haven't seen this posted anywhere except for their official discord, but Shiny Shoe says it has "no plans for content updates on the horizon" for Inkbound and is refocusing to work on a new game. Servers will remain online for the foreseeable future.
"The very short version is that Inkbound didn't manage to hit the sales numbers we needed it to for ongoing support, and that combined with the current state of the game industry put us in a place as a studio where we needed to rapidly refocus."
There's a "Best Patch Notes Bundle" that includes Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud 😂

I've played a ton of The Bazaar over the past two weeks, and even though there are *a lot* of things I don't like about the game, I'm enjoying the core gameplay. But I think even more than that, every now and then I like playing a game that is popular and has an active community.
