### [Disguiser][disguiser]

![Title card with game name and a big mansion](disguiser.png)

[Disguiser][disguiser] ([itch.io][disguiser-itch], [source code][disguiser-src])
by [@mcneja]
is a coffee-break turn-based stealth game inspired by Thief that
was made for the [7 Day Roguelike 2021][7drl-2021] game jam.
The randomly-generated mansions are loosely based on Chinese courtyard houses,
with symmetry, enclosed gardens, and a public-to-private gradient
from the entrance northward.

The development process is documented in
a [bunch of devlog posts][disguiser-blog-tag].

### [secbot][secbot-itch]

![a screenshot with in-game message](secbot.jpg)

[secbot][secbot-itch] ([web version][secbot-web], [souce code][secbot-src])
by [Herbert Wolverson][thebracket] is another 7DRL submission:

> The idea behind SecBot is that an outpost has ceased communications,
> so the morally dubious Bracket Corporation dispatch a security bot
> to find out what happened.
> Upon arrival, it becomes clear that things aren't going well for the colony
> \- so the player rushes around collecting colonists
> and shepherding them back to the spaceship.
> I tried to bake some narrative/flavor into the game,
> and create a fun game you can enjoy over a coffee-break.

Btw, Herbert is going to give a "Learning Rust With Game Development" talk
at [Rust Meetup Linz on April 22][rust-linz].
