Mr. Thompson hit another one out of the park with Well Dweller. Almost 100% with 17 hours under my belt. Unique abilities, creepy vibes, and approachable challenge make this easily one of my GOTYs. Play it if you like metroidvanias.

My dark fairy-tale metroidvania, Well Dweller, is releasing on PC and all consoles in 1 week!! I'm very excited (and nervous!) for it to finally be out!

So excited and proud to be hosting the official #TurnBasedThursday on Bsky! I'm hosting live from NEXUS in Dublin today! I want to see all your #GameDev updates, so hit me with your art, trailers, and infos! Show Me What You Got!

Great news! This was one of my favorite games of last year and I'm happy to see it's continuing to get supported and expanded. Hopefully people will purchase this so more Campaigns are made...

Reality itself has begun to unravel. Are you ready to confront what lies ahead? 💥 Campaign III: Twilight’s End is coming Sept 22 for $9.99 USD to Steam, PlayStation, Meta Horizon & XBOX. Nintendo Switch™ 2 & PICO to follow shortly after. Wishlist now: reso.ly/45X2Ddz #battlemarked #dnd

Shadow of the Road coming November 12 of this year! Very exciting news! The beta+demo for this was fantastic. The blending of Japanese history, myth, and Steampunk makes a fascinating combination, but good gameplay stood out. Really great crunchy turn-based combat. This will be high on the list.

Sharpen your arrows, hone your swords, and don't forget to fix your sandals. Shadow of the Road is to begin it's story on 12 November, 2026.

Great game at a great price (FREE!). Actually played thru the almost the entire game before I released you could upgrade and expand your store…. So yeah, I was selling stuff like at the start of the game. But it was possible and still fun. Mark of a good game.

I don’t usually preorder but I just had to with this game. This is literally what I was asking about for years! Here’s hoping it lives up to the hype and lasts me awhile, because it’s not looking like we’re getting XCOM 3 anytime soon (or maybe at all?)…

Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns is coming soon on GOG! Retro, Classic and Kingdom Mode - three unique ways to play! ⚔️ gog.com/game/defender_of_the_crown_the_legend_returns

This was definitely a needed update! The only option was a story mode on release and it totally took away the tension needed to make this a survival horror game. The survival mode fixes that, but it will NEED a hard mode to be fully complete. Sounds like they’re working on that tho… so that’s great!

Pretty proud of this 100% completion for Twilight Monk. Great game (like a Metroidvania Zelda 2) and while challenging for me, maybe not for those more skilled. Seems appropriate I ended my completion journey on Hard Mode...

HA! YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS IT? NO! It's #TurnBasedThursday again! Devs! Share your turn-based games in the replies! Gifs, videos, screenshots ahoy! Turn-based fans! Support your favorite turn-based games and SHARE THE LOVE! GO! GO! GO! #gamedev #indiedev

I'm having fun with this my9games.com site. Here are my 9 picks for best demos for upcoming titles I've played in the last year. Some have released and I'm working through them now (Forgotlings and Tormented Souls II). Others are coming soon or TBD. Any comments or suggestions?

My favorite games of 2025! No GOTY piece this year - so I'm just gonna post this (created from my9games.com). Admittedly a couple are from 2024 (Minishoot and Crypt Custodian), but I discovered them this year and they are legit bangers. Not the best turn-based year either. But here comes 2026!
