More! Wires!
YES . . . HA HA HA . . . YES
alpha 0.9 also has new minibosses, route-picking, and upgrade shops that totally change the level-up flow to be less intrusive and let you really lock in.

Match Shot Chimera's been updated to include local co-op and a lot more! It's a carry-your-friends (or kids!) mode, but I'm OK making a harder alternative. Tell me what you think!

Full change notes for alpha 0.9 here! Chock full of tasty gifs, too.
This update adds local co-op, upgrade shops, boss picking/rewards, two new minibosses, and dynamic level pacing for you more murderous players.

Just released an update letting you pick your boss fights! Observe the majesty of Carpy Die 'em :)

finally sneaking a weak point tutorial into Match Shot Chimera's intro! Sorry it wasn't there sooner! I think it's pretty neat to have it match up with the character's pupil :P.

that miniboss can't take bullet damage while the armor's up... except while it's entering the level thanks to some physics hiccups :(. Fixing! Fixing.
adding cute lil' eye bats to let you pick your boss fights!

just realized the background pipes aren't moving in this vid 💀.
really pleased with this dork's weird attacks and how you can match-3 to get around its shields.

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
i often think about this review
10 snow days sure did wreck my work schedule, but my kids are going to school again.
Death Starfish is incoming!

co-op is coming to Match Shot Chimera!
It wasn't in the plans a month ago, but spending the holidays with family can change priorities!
The queue for conflicting block shots was a pain to make. I hope you never notice it ;)

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

This next trailer at the game awards is from a small, independent solo indie studio that paid 250 THOUSAND US DOLLARS for this next independent indie trailer
Repost for the mornin' folks! Remembering how much time I spent animating those conveyor belts, and seeing how unnoticeable they are now... 💀
New boss incoming for Match Shot Chimera!
MAW MAW is a mother and a mouth. And a deadly robotic factory. Introducing garbage blocks that turn into homing missiles and bombs! Hooray!
I've got more to do, but I'm hoping to get an update with two new bosses out soon! #gamedev #shmup
Two hands have an idea to give each other matching tattoos. Lefty gets a beautiful eagle tattoo rendered on their arm. Now it’s Righty’s turn to be inked, but he looks scared as Lefty wields the tattoo gun to draw a childishly-drawn sloppy eagle

Trying to decide if I should name this koi boss Carp Diem or if I should go all out with Carpy Die 'em. #gamedev
it is always so fun working on high areas of the map and fine tuning the beautiful vistas you see from up top :)
- work in progress!
(game is ABYSS X ZERO for those who do not know! an upcoming low-poly 3D metroidvania, developed by me and @ironfairy.bsky.social)
