Leaf Let: I'm giving up the control tmy inner demon Krool: it's correct, sorry, I was heads down Leaf Let: my inner demon boils you in their cauldron of malice

If you were wondering how Blanksword's development is going, it's um. it's going for sure

Thank you!

Thanks Jeremy!!

Blanksword's Battle UI has received a sizeable improvement thanks to @quinnkdev.bsky.social 's diligent work!

Enemies now have a little icon next to their health bar that displays their *intention*: you know what kind of move they'll be using on their next turn, and you can strategize accordingly!

Games in pre-alpha

Our lead dev @quinnkdev.bsky.social and our partner-in-crime @bustedkeyboards.bsky.social had an extensive interview with Electric Airship!
Game dev and Blanksword were talked about extensively, including some characters we haven't shared much about yet...!

Day 2 of trying to eat the Cursed Muesli, I sneezed while taking a spoonful and now there's oatmeal in my sinuses

Mashina is out now!! I repeat -- MASHINA IS OUT NOW!!! 🎉🎉

Thank you :]

I'm really fond of how Blanksword's Buglic Transport cutscenes look now!
The main areas of our game are floating islands that you travel to on a sort of flying-bug-bus. It took Quinn and the art team a long time to get the skies and horizon just right!

The entire muesli

I had an actual real-life blank moment and I poured myself The Entire Muesli
Game development is taking over my life

100% worth $10. One of the most creative games I've played in a good while. There are few games can do terrifying, heartbreaking, and hilarious in general and this is one of the ones that makes all those emotions work together to make something wonderful and unique.

The keen-eyed among you will notice that this is a *different* tiktok from the one we had before - this is for a variety of wacky technical reasons, but - this is normal! The new one we've linked everywhere will be the active one :]

Everyone! We've resurrected our tiktok and instagram accounts and we'll start posting there this week!

@amblingpanda.bsky.social will be in charge of these and we don't post the same things, so make sure to check them out :]

this took so freaking long. this video even still has a bug in it that i've since squashed (wrong description being displayed). i will now sleep for 2000 years

Thank you kindly :]

Thanks to Quinn's ceaseless and diligent efforts, mouse controls are now an option for Blanksword's battle!

This makes the game very adaptable: you can play fully on controller or fully on keyboard if that's your preference, but you can also do keyboard + mouse and pilot battles with your cursor :]

Coming soon: BLANKSWORD An Angelic Roguelike RPG
