Celialicious

I probably need to post here more, so here's the wip of different parry animations (soon to be added in engine)

This game is tremendously inspirational to me personally, as a testament to what a solo developer can do. It really captures the Ocarina of Time style atmosphere, but it's also very much doing its own thing (thank hell!).

I've updated my fighting game motion input trainer with indicators for the direction you're charging, and a move list! I've also added an Easter egg (a Geese egg?) for anyone trying out weird stuff. celialicious.itch.io/wave-motion-...

Huh. Not perfect, but it makes sense for what I have out there. lol at it calling those terms "complex industry terms". I mean, they kinda have complex implications, but it's funny to say "fun" is complex.

the reaction to the patrick miller 2XKO article is basically why no devs will ever be honest about their process in public and nor should they be. gamers can’t be fucking normal

The thing I really wanna say is stop looking for the savior of fighting games to justify you playing them. Maybe there isn't a fighting game for you and that's ok. You can go make it or maybe go play something else which is ok too. Just don't be an energy vampire.

Angeline Era ($19.99) - one of 2025's very best. bumpslash combat attached to a story driven by a blend of Irish myth, Christian philosophy, and Japanese-American history that twists like a vine to grab at your heart and pull in deep, prodding your soul. store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

TMNT: Tactical Takedown ($12.99) - one of the fastest moving tactics games you've ever played, it feels like the genre is fused with the TMNT beat 'em ups by making it so you ALWAYS have to be moving forward, keeping the pace brisk. no wasted time here. store.steampowered.com/app/3229100/...

I'm going to post some more old sailor moon art here because why not!!!

LRP, the goal for media should unapproachable as possible while being as accessible as you can afford.

really fucking hate how "accessibility" has been hijacked to mean "let's treat everyone as if they're children at all times"

lmao, got unfollowed by no less than 5 butthurt indie devs who just want to drive by and use my community to promote their generic as fuck game and never speak to us again. i can easily facilitate that.

generally fighting games with long combos are intending you to do the long combos, so they're made to be pretty straightforward. Games with short combos hate you personally and want to see you fail

South of Midnight was the first time I saw my peers talk about the South as something beautiful and worth seeing. That game did something I didn't think was possible; it was a love letter to a region I believe we should fight for, and for once, my peers got to see the beauty and magic that I see.

The game did the work of honoring Southern culture, and the way that it is built on African folklore. It saw the language we use in the South, the superstitions we build our lives around and said that it is not only worthy, but it is thanks to Black people and culture that we have this beauty.

I just updated this to include citations from The Privilege of Play. I originally intended to cite it after reading exerpts online, but I couldn't find the book when it came time to write the article. I bought a copy of it in the GDC store when I was there! critpoints.net/2025/12/14/a...

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

The party has a "Red and White" theme, and I think I may have gone too hard.....
