So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

Aiming for a mix between hack-n-slash and tactics wrapped up in a Zelda inspired adventure game🧩

(GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

GDC talk submissions are open and just wanted to point out to people that if you were planning to apply to talk at a summit (like indie summit, narrative summit, tools summit, etc.) that there's only one call for submissions now and it's only open for a month: gdconf.com/gdc-call-for...

This looks awesome!

the part of me that wants to make balanced design choices is always at war with the (significantly more powerful) part of me that just wants to go wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

anyway im tuning a post-dash jump combo and its going swell thank you for asking

I was feeling a little burnt out on bug fixing and prototyping, so I took a detour make the moment-to-moment gameplay feel just a little bit better with vfx.

Worked like a charm to build some development momentum 😤
switching tasks can really be a huge help sometimes.

Pierce the heavens with that drill!

Hello, world!
We've just begun development on a new sci-fi adventure puzzle game 🧩✨
Still very early in the prototyping phase, but if you're into thoughtful, handcrafted games and want to follow the journey, stick around 🙂 !
