I'm about halfway finished with Critter Drifters, I'd say. My goal is to release it by end of year!

It's shaping up to be quite fun as well, but I'm just a bit biased on that.

I'm partial to more cool colors myself, but I'm really digging that orange house! ๐Ÿ˜

Got something exciting in the worksโ€”canโ€™t wait to share it soon!

In the meantime, I dusted off an old unfinished track and made it weird. ๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™m calling this one โ€œStar Paper,โ€ inspired by the dreamy Shooting Star Summit from Paper Mario.

I couldn't agree and love your use of flow state when talking about the mechanics. It's always cool to see a developer get down to the basics about what makes a game fun. If you are fighting the controls or mechanics of the game constantly, it can be super off putting. Definitely feeling the cozy!!

And yes I think they should matter. I love details like that in a game. Bouncing off an enemy straight into a dive like that conserves momentum and looks very fluid. It combines movement and combat in a way that looks fun to pull off. BTW the game looks incredible. Love the way the swimming looks! ๐Ÿ˜

I'm interested in what you mean by rewarding the player in this case. Thinking about player motivation for doing something is important. Sometimes if satisfying enough, I think doing the action itself could be rewarding enough, but I think it definitely depends on the game.

Blast from the past! One of my favorites from my first ever album.

It was the first time I felt like, โ€œYeah... this sounds like me.โ€

Spooky, moody, but still fun โ€” like a haunted level from a 90s game.

๐ŸŽง Hope you enjoy the vibe!

I've been working on adding boss races to my game recently. This one is a raptor with a very wonky run cycle...

Also, I want to thank @codym-composer.bsky.social for allowing me to commission them for the background music. It really ties everything together and makes it feel like a "real" game!

Not music related, but took a little composing break to finish this little project. She's only 1.5 years old, so maybe it was more for me than her ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜œ

Iโ€™ll be hopping back into music mode in the next day or two. ๐ŸŽถ
