More progress on #pelicanEmpyrean. All the character art is done now, and these are WIP sketches for the meal cards.

We've also built out the progression more, now each roguelike run type has unlockable variations - different rulesets for different flavours of play!

Played the demo for Queen’s Domain today - it has a intriguingly unique atmosphere and flowing level design. Well worth diving into!

Project Shadowglass is looking cool. I was curious from their previous teaser what it was about, and now from this it looks like it's about being a modern take on Thief - definitely not a bad thing!

On the dev side, Pelican Empyrean is now feature complete! The last step was building the save/load system so you can resume a game mid-run - a small but very complex system to implement.

Next up we’re replacing the a.i. art with a real artist!

And as a game designer Lemmings is especially humbling because, for any given thing I'm making I can say "is my game as unique as this? Does it do something no other game does?". So far none of my games have passed that test, but I'm certain asking the question makes me a better designer

As a game designer Lemmings is one of the small handful of games I think about often and marvel at how completely unique it is.
Docos like this are fascinating because there's no big story, magical inciting incident or confluence of forces, it just kind of happened

We showed Pelican Empyrean at the SA Games Exhibition over the last two days.
The response was awesome! So many players deeply entranced by the gameplay.

Also looking forward to seeing how the public responds to Pelican Empyrean when it's released - it's a roguelike with a focus on accumulating artefacts, but with an intentionally tightly-curated magic system, so it's almost as puzzle-ish as it is strategic.

these still hold up so nicely. Such a distinct look!

On the dev side, Pelican Empyrean is now fully playable from start to finish!

Lots of polish / balance still to go, but we have a great QA team helping out, so we can get that difficulty curve just right!
