10.01.2025 22:26 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If you dig the genre commonly referred to as Metroidvania, play this. It's really good!
10.01.2025 22:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I've worked in a few engines including RM. RM is not comparatively easy once you stretch the limits, and it's a pretty unique challenge at that.
Hell, I really just wish people would be more open minded in general.
Man, if all of the Deathstalker movies were like II the world would be a better place.
10.01.2025 02:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Man. It's been 7 years since I launched this. Since it was updated several times, went free to play, & has almost 30k downloads across 50 countries. Utter failure, but I love the design and will revisit it.
Play on Steam, check out the optional DLC & have fun!

www.dlvgames.com not one but A lot of games, a couple on Steam, Fortnite stuff, mod/ROMhack/weird mini projects tied to Patreon. Probably too much to unpack, I suck at this social media thing.
07.01.2025 14:38 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0(4/4) At first, I experimented and gave the players flight, but testing proved that sucked. A thousand adjustments here & there, and I think we nailed it. Just enough freedom & constraint, visually appealing... happy with the experience & look forward to trying more spacious designs in the future!
07.01.2025 14:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0(3/4) That made me think of a Quake map design, like a really complex, nutty take on The Longest Yard. I'm not doing anything with Quake at the moment; so I took the basic idea, made it simpler/more literal, and hung it at a reasonable altitude above a large winter island. (For my Xmas loving wife)
07.01.2025 14:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0(2/4) That's definitely outside of my wheelhouse of dense, deliberate design, so that was really exciting.
So we were on a Ghibli kick, and during Castle in the Sky, you know when they get to Laputa towards the end?
(1/4)Castle in the Sky Dev Diary
This was actually my last of three experiences so far, so these a being presented kind of ass-backwards. Anyway, I wanted to do something more authentically Fortnite in terms of an organic landscape.
I don't need one for work or play, but that price is tempting!
07.01.2025 03:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Do it, nobody can stop you! Plus best-case, they mush up a little in milk, turn into pseudomarshmallows, and you start a revolution in the world of sugary cereals.
07.01.2025 03:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Castle in the Sky (Island Code 1210-7634-5867) is a 50 player free for all map on an arctic island featuring flying castles above a striking, snowy, and relatively cheerful holiday-adjacent landscape.

22.12.2024 17:29 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well, that took less time than I expected. The Bridge-FPS Update is live now on all platforms!

This one is a gem, don't pass it up.
12.12.2024 01:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Doom turned 31 today, so I'm working on our Operation Reaper megawad a fair bit. Besides lots of info and links to Patreon to play early, there's a poster for sale on the store too! www.dlvgames.com/reaper

04.12.2024 00:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I made some new posters today! Sometimes my job is really fun.

There are some incredible bundles on there, wow... Thanks for posting this, man!
26.11.2024 21:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think that's the Pac-Man maze within my megawad Operation Reaper Map 19: Mixed Reality (still shows the level name from Doom 2 here)
I wanted to get a little silly before the hellish final stretch!
My son and Street Fighter 6 training buddy is an AKI main and made this mousepad in his graphic design class. Not too shabby!

24.11.2024 03:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It is! Can't wait to get a little time to see what something like Super Mario Bros. looks like
18.11.2024 18:32 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Seeing Zelda, especially my ROMhack, rendered in 3D is pretty fucking rad. 3DSen on Steam isn't a perfect emulator, but it's certainly neat.
18.11.2024 15:18 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It has such a great vibe! It's had a direct influence on my megawad, namely in redoing many of the sfx.
Playing multiplayer w/ system link LAN was a great time too!
