Thank you Wenmar! 🙇

This is now what greets the player when they first run the story game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶

New in-game language option UI element, who's this?

(the monitor photo at a weird angle is a deliberate choice)

Thaaat's better...!

Now the player character's low-gravity walk cycle displays just fine on Android in the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶

Which hopefully means it will also display just fine on consoles like the Switch... 🤔

The Game Expo here in Naarm / Melbourne today released their official photos from the event in March this year.

This was my booth. This was my impassioned-looking way of talking to someone about my game or something.

The spoiler-free explanation is that he's gritting his teeth to do something destructive that he doesn't really feel comfortable doing. 😅

So I released the updated prototype on itch. If you're feeling bored or kind then check it out and tell me what you think.

Thanks very much for the kind comment! I'm glad you like it. 😁

It's Wei Song, the player character from the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶

A rare direct-to-digital drawing. Most start off as pencil on paper.

How would you caption this? What is Song reacting to?

By the way, the sound effect text is there not only for the comic book feel but also for accessibility reasons, for players who can't hear the sounds.

Do you like it when a game lets you do things like this?

Because ◀Future Ghost▶ - the narrative adventure game I'm making - has a few interactions like this one!

Not being facetious about the plugin. It IS great. Just has holes in it that I don't know how to fill. Hence the necessity of workarounds.

One of which my son came up with just today when I was rubber ducking one of the above-mentioned problems with him!

Goal is a 100% blind gamer friendly #indiegame.
Got a great plugin for screen reader compatibility.

Reads things it shouldn't, like image filenames.
Doesn't read things it should, like in-battle menus.

Workarounds take time and lateral thought.
#Accessibility IS important, but ISN'T always easy.

Always need more wooshes, hits and beeps, but the one that stumped me most recently was a desk chair swivel sound.

Yeah, it was on the SNES as well! And a few other platforms...

Storefront: Super Retro

Japanese GB, GBC & GBA carts

My GB Pocket and Parodius da! cart

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15.

Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅

The demo reviews are in!

"A really fun homage to Final Fantasy Tactics!"

"A clever mix of sports and strategy… shows strong potential for fans of both."

"It felt like something entirely new to the genre."

Check out the nice write-up Jeff (Yokozona) did for his renewed website, based on the interview he did with me earlier this year. It covers insights into my ideation and practical processes for the development of my narrative adventure #indiegame, 'Future Ghost'...

I remembered some players at the expo in March trying to see what happens when you walk into an "invisible wall" on the edge of the stage in the opening of my wip narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶...

Decided to do something about it...
