store.steampowered.comThe Last Islands of Man on SteamThe Last Islands of Man is a retro rpg that forces you to manage your time. The waters are rising. Can you save yourself? Can you save your family?

First were personal torches, sconces, candelabras, a lantern, street lights, and now vehicle headlights! The Last Islands of Man 2 is filled with Light and Shadow, moonless night and unlit caves are obstacles to overcome. You must cut through it and force its shape. #rpgmaker #gamedev #indiegame

Progress on The Last Islands of Man 2 continues! Now the severe weather fed by the anger of the Wind god doesn't destroy your FPS. The game is running better and better, both in overworld and in town with all the events and doodads. I'm very happy that lag is gone. #gamedev #rpgmaker #indiegame

Made another enemy for my new game, decided to make a few color variations of it and thought it would be cool if each one had a different type of weapon… In the end I went with a completely random selection of weapons #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

The quest book in The Last Islands of Man 2 may seem full and contradictory but so is life. Our conflicting motivations play tug of war within us all day. Objectives, rewards and punishments overlap and change at each step. Even our best intentions can seem sour to someone else. #indiedev #rpgmaker

How are you feeling these days? God’s just watching in Heaven and wondering why you don’t rise up and put them all in prison and stuff? Think about how good that would feel.

The Last Islands of Man 2's characters and cities parallel after those in the bible. Genesis with josephs brothers, and the book of samuel with sam, esther and mordecai as playable. King saul and david also play their parts but this is not the same story. Prepare to be surprised. #indiedev #rpgmaker

been reading about the climate impacts of private jets and… yea. make private jets illegal. period. nobody needs them. you want one? fuck you. get fucked. thing is, getting rid of them also means rich dicks might force the regular commercial airlines to be less shit. we might even get more trains!

I mean, Epic Games said outright that they’re fully embracing genAI and are using it to replace real artists, voice actors, etc. in Fortnite because people keep supporting them anyway and they’ll only feel emboldened to go further if we keep playing the game. But sure, go make Sora hit the griddy.

The Last Islands of Man 2 is an epic new story filled with infectious curses and disastrous geomancy. Piece together a party of 5 with desperate survivors of the drought and find the corrupt elemental gods and their cursed accomplices using more than just strength. #indiedev #rpgmaker #gamedev

My schedule is in such flux that I'm struggling. But, I'm still getting work done on The Last Islands of Man 2. I've been working on polish and frame rate specifically. Culling lights and doodads and re coding old events. I might have to tone down the weather effects 😱 #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

All new character sprites, check. 6 new side quests, check. I also snuck in some story progress and dialog. check! It's been a busy few months, no doubt. I still have battle sprites to do but this is serious progress. More and more complete everyday. I love it! #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

many of u appear to be trying to play a sophisticated game of chess while your opponent is pointing a gun at you and also pulling the trigger on the gun pretty frequently and you're being shot by the gun a lot

I've been working hard on Taller Sprites for The Last Islands of Man 2. I'm not quite done finishing walking sprites. I'm redoing my 11 Heroes, 3rd time, and am pretty happy with the results. I'm finding the details that matter now. I can't wait to see them in game. #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

Who knew the death of humanity would take so long It’s supposed to be an asteroid or immediate ice age not the slow poisoning by stupidity Hollywood lied to us!

Promises are the side quests of The Last Islands of Man 2. If you make a promise you'll enjoy the social benefits until you break that promise. That choice may not always be yours to make so beware what you promise, or you'll be seen as someone you don't want to be. #gamedev #rpgmaker #indiegame

I've had a very successful week. All my characters are now tall custom sprites. Here are the humanoid Elemental Gods as they are confronted for their poor leadership. Push them too far and you'll feel their true power. Be prepared for that test or you'll be dust too. #indiegame #rpgmaker #gamedev

I'm killing it. 7 tall character walking sprites done in the last few days. These are the Bloodstained Brothers, a cursed family who can't drink water and whose blood is contagious. Their veins are visible through their skin so keep an eye open or you'll be cursed too! #gamedev #rpgmaker #indiegame

Everyday that im taken away from my creative projects, for good reasons or not, still gets at me like a bug under the skin. Wether its game dev or writing or even decorating the house if i have a project im torn in two while dealing with more immediate responsibilities. Such is life i guess...

Im about to get a forced update on my samsung 8. Ive been postponing for a long time. I guess im gonna see what kinda ai crap they try to stuff into it. Hopefully i wont have to rehack utube. Ill see yall on the other side. Cheers!

I got distracted by unimportant things like buying a car and fixing the house. So I've only got 2 characters for the 2 days of work that I managed. Pretty good. This is one of the Bloodstained brothers that are hidden. The car is nice as well. 2010 was a solid year? #gamedev #rpgamker #indiedev
