Two rounds of edits and 300 printed pages (I write on the computer but edit on paper) later, I never thought I'd see this word on the title page.
It's nice.

and that's the combat system all done for You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl), a sapphic dungeon crawler/dating sim for windows, linux, and 486 MSDOS. check out this combat demonstration, keeping in mind that the values being plugged in are still placeholders

The second part of my Next Fest article is up! This covers the top two tiers of my ranking of 30 indie game demos, ranked by how much I personally want them. Check out this one and the last one and let me know which of the games sound good to you!

I'm also super hype for Burn-9 by @14hoursproductions.bsky.social. I was in chat the night Chewie played the demo, and I want to protect Dodo with my very life.

Improving the camera! 🎥
Working on a system that makes the camera aware of its environment.
See how it picks up on cramped spaces and moves closer!

and that's our first bit of combat animation for You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) done! really pleased with how this came out
a little detail i'm proud of is the snake's HP bar dropping smoothly instead of instantly, something i've never added to a game before

Would you like to play a demo of my new game? Sure you would!

It's called "Burn-9," a turn-based tactical visual novel. You're the operator directing a super soldier fighting for her life in a secret Antarctic military base.

Happy 34th Birthday to Mario Paint!
I can't believe this game is that old. I have fond memories of playing this on #SNES as a child, doing paint by numbers, making "music" with the Mario Paint music composer (which you can do online!)
Great times!
What are some of your favorite memories with it?
Work on Valley of Rains continues! We've completed the title screen, options menu, and save system. This short video showcases the current state of the project. There's still plenty of exciting work ahead! #JRPG#indiedev#gamedev#indiegamedev#pixelart#retrogaming#gamedevelopment#rpg#indiegame

Today I'm sharing a small behind-the-scenes look at Valley of Rain. Just a brief glimpse into development. This video even contains some of the earliest sketches and prototypes that survived from the beginning of the project. #indiedev#jrpg#gamedev#pixelart#rpg#turnbased#fantasy#storyrich
A short cinematic clip from the forest location will be out today. Just a small look at the atmosphere and mood of the environment. #indiedev#gamedev#indiegame#pixelart#pixelartgame#jrpg#indierpg#fantasyrpg#gamedevelopment#gameart#indiegamedev#gaming#indiegames#pixelartist

to be fair to john carmack, he's also a dumb piece of shit that deadnamed burger becky when she passed, was a speaker at an "anti woke" convention, and had the id office cat put down when it peed on his couch.
Xbox: Guts id Software, firing half the studio.
John Carmack: No wait, hear them out. I think Microsoft is onto something here.
John Carmack is scum.

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs.
I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

Screenshots from the original DOS demo. It ran in mode 13h: 320x200 resolution, with non-square pixels, and at only 35hz -- half the VGA's native framerate of 70.
It'll be fun to re-imagine for modern systems at 360p60.
After a stressful Next Fest, I've decided to take a one-week break from working on Enigma Heart, and cobble together a prototype of my next game, Acronia. Based on an old DOS prototype/demo of mine, it's a side-scrolling run 'n' gun inspired by Contra, Bio Menace, Rise of the Triad, Commander Keen.
