good news and bad news!

good news: the weird signals we've been getting from the Digital Planet are not Super Scary Space Viruses, they're just sneak peeks at the upcoming games!

bad news: we destroyed a lot of computers before that realization...

anyway, here's what we've got so far! 👀🔭✨

3d art of a cute astronaut and two little alien guys, one with just an eye and the other with just a mouth. they're standing on a planet smiling and facing forward.

gather around everyone, our Top Astronauts have made a discovery: a Digital Planet! it’s like a normal planet, but also the internet?

we’re still investigating, but so far we know that it’s weird and it’s dropping a bunch of games next month!!

stay tuned! 🌐🔭✨

After months of working on a big update for The Midnight Tram I finally have some big results!

Everything from the prototype was rewritten to accomodate for advanced npc interactions, better line of sights, bigger levels, slicker menus, inventory systems, and even tools to predict the future!

Big Snake just received an update! On top of a better user experience it offers booster packs adding unique new scenes to your games.

Don't miss out on the three new endings and the fancy unlockable foils! (link in the replies)

Another fun glitch that is sadly patched out by now messes with the character's memory of the map, turning exploration into this weird dreamlike sequence where the walls seem to rearrange themselves around the player.

Outside of the bounds of the screen, I have found this group of fish, chilling upside down. I think they're taking a break in between two of their shifts swimming the screen.

Screenshot from The Midnight Tram, the vfx for the time travel is frozen in place, inverting the world's colors.

And so I thought I'd share the glitches I've seen while trying to add a dungeon crawler to The Midnight Tram.

At the very least it's visually interesting.

Getting out of the magic circle Making art, and especially video games, is what I find to be the closest to doing magic in real life. It may not be an universal experience but let me try to show you how magic comes into play in my g...

As a #gamedev I am obsessed with the idea of magic and how to incorporate it into gameplay.

But this time I felt the magic from my position as a gamedev. And I thought I could share it so I wrote a post about it.

As a #gamedev I like gamedeving it's pretty fun

Project Kūnlún by Atelier Cassette, MadameEtrange, Dr Umbrus Become the concierge of a strange residential complex.

Hey, everyone!
With the 32Bit Prototype Jam coming to an end, we officially make our return with a brand new prototype!

We'd like to welcome you into the weird but welcoming hallways of Project Kūnlún!

And here is what the menu looks like in game! I think big snake is winning.

Made this background for Big Snake's main menu. This was my first update post release, along with some quality of life improvements! The next step will be adding new cards and story events! Can't wait!

I made this game! The lithobreaker jam was a blast, I recommend all the games, they're very cool!

Currently working on Mignight Tram's next update. Introducing brand new levels and a level selection menu!

over a space background, there is art of an irregularly shaped patch featuring several astronauts doing strange things like kissing an alien and holding a chainsaw. the text around the patch says Lithobreakers on top and 02 - Unhinged Group Dynamics on the bottom.

the games are finally here and they’ve brought a new theme: Unhinged Group Dynamics!

as a Big Deal Astronaut who only engages in strictly Hinged Group Dynamics, I hope to learn a lot playing these games! 🧑‍🚀🚀

dear diary,

just as i was Not Discussing my book at secret book club… everyone left again! apparently the telescopes got their first look at some of the games headed to earth next month.

i guess i'll attach the findings below. i am still an Astronaut of Science after all! 🧑‍🚀🚀

A drawing depicting a battle between two mages on a tile-based arena in the middle of a forest: A goblin fire mage jumping in the air while preparing to attack with her flamethrower, and a water mage on the ground preparing a huge blast with her pincer.

The holidays got in the way of our surprise, sorry! 👀
Well, better late than never! Here it is!

#WrestleMancers has its very own splash art! Courtesy of our artist, the one and only @madameetrange.itch.io!
Pretty cool, eh? 😀

three space blondies. there are photos of planets and a bunch of sparkles on top of them.

dear astronaut diary,

today’s secret book club has been cancelled. everyone’s too busy “doing math” and “looking at the sky” because ~apparently~ there’s a bunch of games crashing to earth next month.

made space blondies for nothing.

xoxo,

big deal astronaut

6) Still a work in progress but I'm having a lot of fun working on Wrestlemancers with @ateliercassette.bsky.social

Oh... Oh my!
Looks like we're very, VERY close to reaching our next milestone!

Let's spice things up a little, shall we?
When we reach 500 followers, we'll unveil a little surprise for you all, how about that? 😉

(And this time, it won't be just a thread!)

More Midnight Tram gameplay, the game is available there: cavalcadeur.itch.io/the-midnight...

5) The Midnight Tram is a puzzle game about time traveling to catch the tram. I will expand on this game in the future as I think it has a lot of potential

4) With the @ateliercassette.bsky.social team we made It that follows, a short horror game about being chased by a monster on the road

3) Yet Another Zelda Fangame is a short tribute to Zelda and its fandom. I made it for the cringe culture is dead jam

2) Ginger is an unreleased project I can't show much about but I'm excited to hopefully publish it in 2025

This year I had the opportunity to work on several game projects, here are some examples!

1) ZoteBall is a Hollow Knight inspired volley ball game that I made and released in the beginning of the year
