Just shared a quick clip of our shmup in development. This ship has Gradius style options, because I'm old and I like Gradius.

It's Bandcamp Friday! That means that today, Bandcamp doesn't take its usual % fees when you buy albums/OST's on Bandcamp, meaning that the creators get the full amount today! I released a brand new OST today! If you want to support me, now's the best time! sylvysprit.bandcamp.com/album/no-nee...

Hazuki came across the legendary Yume Nikki video and now she's begging us to let her share her top 3 water drinking spots (she doesn't smoke for her smoke break) Look forward to the reveal this Wednesday, April 1!!!

CROW'S NEST reposted

Recently I've surprised myself on how making the camera move once in a while for RPG cutscenes makes a bit of difference. Thing was that the camera for Hazuki was super hardcoded weirdly, where it just follows an invisible player object all the time. Now it has a proper camera

Put some finishing touches & released my Elevator Action/Rolling Bird inspired game : boghog.itch.io/caramel-acti... You can play it in your browser Though I'd recommend getting the desktop ver since the browser version is funky

Frustrated by the fact that nobody's making Elevator Action/Rolling Bird style games I spent the past week+ making a tiny game like this myself, the main bulk of it is done just gotta do some finishing touches & release

I read your awesome reviews all the time and the most requested feature has now been complete. Super Ledgehop 60FPS update is here!! store.steampowered.com/app/787070/S... But there's more! We've also been adding fixes to a ton of our older games to help it run better across many systems!

S-men | ChairGTables@chairgtables.lamedimension.moe

It's Super Ledgehop's anniversary! Time to announce the fix that many reviews have asked for. Next month in December, Super Ledgehop will be upgraded from 30 FPS to 60 FPS! Players facing performance issues where the game runs below 30 FPS may also have their fix in this update!
