I'm browsing my phone because I can't sleep and that freaked me out. Nice going 😅

Yeah, I don't view it as a replacement, but as it's own thing it's such a fun arcadey game to just boot up and play through.

I can replay it the same way I can just replay Rondo of Blood whenever I'm in the mood.

EXCALIMURDER is a nonlinear murder mystery game.
You investigate in any order and connect the dots in your notebook.

Also, Excalibur is the murder weapon

Since the PSP days, DJMAX has always been a shining example of fun and bold typography and graphic design in games.

Have you seen that Shotgun Mario 64 Mod? I'm kinda expecting a more interesting version of that with a Napstercore vibe.

You could try out the huge Dragon Quest 2 Builders demo first if you'd like. It's developed by the same team and seems extremely similar.

Based on those, I think you'd like Little Witch Academia, Mob Psycho 100, and Apocalypse Hotel.

It's one of my favorites. Love how cozy all the towns are and the puzzle focused dungeons. And Virginia is a great MC

Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere.

Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes.

Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen.

iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth!

Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍

See it in action!!

I don't think someone who hates tank controls would care about the game design kinda breaking when switching to a more traditional control scheme either. I feel like they are usually there for the vibes.

Dragon Quest XI is charming, fun to explore, and has a wonderful cast.

I'm finally back into making this. I super simplified the way the player reacts to getting hit so it's done programmatically instead of a baked animation. It's pretty rudimentary at the moment but the systems are in there for polishing down the line. I also updated the guns to have different VFX.
