I love my job, but this is what I REALLY want to do all day today

For no particular reason, here's my wonderful wife matching with her Animal Crossing character

If you dig the genre commonly referred to as Metroidvania, play this. It's really good!

I'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.

Man. 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.

(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!

(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)

(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!

Do 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.

Like how this is called "Bluesky" because you can peruse it while you enjoy a cold brewski!

Doom 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

Sometimes the things that carry it are the aesthetics, and that's ok. Everything is subjective.

I 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!

Seeing Zelda, especially my ROMhack, rendered in 3D is pretty fucking rad. 3DSen on Steam isn't a perfect emulator, but it's certainly neat.

It 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!
