31.10.2025 09:35 β π 8 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Latest game dev news from me: I've updated one of my first games, The Time Machine, with text tweaks, art updates, better formatting and display on screen, a new piece of art, a new passage, and bonus materials from the zine.
#IndieGames #PixelArt #TextAdventure
Zine, you say? Why yes. The Time Machine, like The Light At The Frankenstein Place, was always also intended to be a zine and now it is (since September, actually, and Open Book Festival).
Learn more in my blog post:
mandyjwatson.itch.io/the-time-mac...
A human hand holding a tiny (A8) zine. The cover is black and white and says The Time Machine A Tiny Adventure By Mandy J Watson There is pixel art of a book that says "2", because this is the second zine in the Tiny Adventure series, and an analogue clock whose hands are spinning.
Behold! The interactive zine!
You can read more about how to get a copy in the blog post. The short answer is Readers Den Comic Shop Wynberg, The Book Lounge, and Clarke's Bookshop in Cape Town. Readers Den and The Book Lounge will also ship elsewhere.
Support indie book and comic shops and me!

Made some token art for our kobold warlock's parents! Kane is played by @lupusdei.bsky.social and he kicks ass. A real chaos gremlin of the best kind. I drew these in pencil and mouse-coloured them because my PC refuses to talk to any tablets.
