An in-game screenshot from the upcoming game Boss Rush Delivery depicting the protagonist Gail, a mailwoman, and her fae companion Irisia, facing off against an animated gate in a forest clearing. The gate is causing numerous rows of spikes to erupt from the ground while simultanously firing off an enormous energy beam from it's mouth. The forest clearing is a placeholder background while the proper background assets are still in development.

He's a butler/spymaster/assassin, and is fastidious about everything being in proper place and order, whether it's the dinner entrees or the stabs in a man's body.

A wrought-iron gate with a face motif. The face looks shiftily from side to side, as if expecting something.

"I don't know, there's something really shifty about that gate..."

Still can't believe there's a dude in the Cheeto Supreme case called Cheesebro*, could only be funnier if it was pronounced Spanish-style, Cheh-seh-bro.

*Haven't heard his name pronounced, doesn't matter, he will remain Cheesebro to me until he melts back into the collective subconscious.

Random thought: I love drawing swords, I doodle swords all the time. Why have I never participated in #Swordtember?

Intrusive thought: Hey, you know swords are phallic symbols, right? You're basically an id-suppressed version of Jonah Hill's character from Superbad

The three stages of development of a roguelite dungeoncrawler arena shooter:
- "Tiny Roguelike", a 1-week prototype
- "Rad Rats and the DNA Disco", 2 additional weeks of development beyond Tiny Roguelike
- "Space Vikings": the final product, 2 additional months beyond Rad Rats

Put together a little "How it started... How it's going" gif to show how far our upcoming game has come in 4ish months.
