Word of mouth is huge for indie devs, plus you get to force your niche obsession onto your friends!
BisectedBrioche, a woman wearing a cosplay of the character Faye from Demonschool. She is wearing a red wig with with messy banks and a short ponytail, a triangular red necklace and a black t-shirt with flared sleeves, a red lining and several embellishments, including the letters B O A R in a square on the front.
The final look! Maybe I'll revisit this and make the trousers one day, but the shirt was a tonne of fun to put together, and I got a lot of much need practise styling wigs.
Screenshot of the Demonschool video game. In the background is an isometric-ish pixelated school room. In the foreground are two characters and a dialog box. On the left is Faye, a white woman with red hair and sharp eyes. She's faded dark because she is not speaking right now. On the right is Professor Vincent, a white man with short blue hair and a smirk that gives away he knows more than he's letting on. Professor Vincent is speaking and the dialog box says "I'm going to go see how many hard boiled eggs I can eat in one sitting. See you Monday!"
Happy Easter

Man, Demonschool looks ridiculously good with the new Switch 2 handheld boost mode. Wild that Nintendo released this, buried the option, and didnโt tell anyone about it.
The Rube Golbergian combo chains you can set up in Demonschool just by way of its own consistent internal logic of system interaction... I'm telling you man, the game was shooting off big ol fireworks in my brain for something north of 60 hours. There was not one moment that I didn't _love_.
Thanks for all your hard work! It looks great~

Check out this progress thread of an upcoming Faye cosplay - so much work goes into this!
A scene from Cyberpunk 2077 rendered in a style of PC-98 visual novels. Anime-looking Meredith Stout is talking to V after the Flathead mission. The image is limited to 16 colours and features a large, old-fashioned UI framing the illustration.

Hope I got the palette limitations right!
Happy trans day of visibility! Necrosoft's core team includes trans folks and enbies - it's not something we make a big deal of because it's not a big deal. They're just people who are good at their jobs! But given the state of everything we want to let other devs know: You can hire trans folks too!
College these days just teaches kids to c-c-c-combo!
Let's see what happens when you and your new bestie are twinning so hard you explode a whole demon, in Demonschool!

Destin sits at a desk, his head down and hands on it in frustration. Knute also sits at a desk, upright and confident. They're accompanied by the following text: Destin and Knute studied together. Destin didn't understand the assignment and wrote about snakes.
Faye stands before a man named the Mop Master, who is holding a mop and standing by a bucket. He is saying, "Get outta here and let me mop!"
Faye and Namako stand before a child named Dennis(?), who has emerged from behind a tree. He is saying, "Hello, I'm Dennis."
Faye looks upon a Dumb Guy, who himself is examining a computer. He is saying, "So, this is a computer."
Off-topic, but a few contextless screengrabs from my playthrough of Demonschool. I really like this game.
Huzzah! Hopefully the abilities wind up giving some points of interest as well. They tend to make the game much easier for big brain types, but it's fun to figure out what they do. Folks came up with a lot of combos of abilities we just did not think of at all.
Thank you for understanding what we were going for!!!
okay, look. listen. smell what I'm saying: i can tell even with the limited playtime i have as of this review that demonschool has the UTMOST juice. if you're a trpg sicko like me, or if you really like combat puzzles in general, feast on this game like a delightful gourmet spread. gameplay feats: combining movement with action and providing all the information you need on enemies and allies as part of the same screen is the kind of brilliant design i love to see in this genre. managing action points through sidestepping and leveraging action-refunding or discounted attacks is the kind of optimization candy that makes an already great system even tastier, and being able to rewind and reset during planning lets you explore a strat before committing. it's good. you can feel like a genius even if it takes you five or ten tries to lock in your turn. the expressive, energetic, stark art and... manic singleminded protagonist energy faye has are really fun, gameplay aside. this game is a delight for the senses and the mind so far and i am given no reason to question its persistence in both. if you'll excuse me i am going to go kick some demons all over campus now, thanks love you bye
I've had it in my library but been busy with "life stuff" for a while but finally fired up @necrosoftgames.com 's demonschool and i must enthusiastically gush about it to anyone who will pause to pay attention
do note i am something of a srpg/trpg sicko and this game is delicious to me. very good
It's the last day of the spring sale, and thus the last day to get Demonschool for 20% off (including the artbook and design book DLC, which is actually closer to a making-of!). If you like puzzley tactics this game is (hopefully) for you.

Demonschool devlog 3! In this one we discuss how we tried to weave the structural and theoretical concept of "school" throughout the game without making time management a core mechanic.

Everyone is stressed and overwhelmed, so we made a game that you can play at your leisure. You can play in 15 min intervals, put it down and pick it back up with ease. It's an rpg whose pacing won't overwhelm you. And! It's 20% off on steam right now.
It's the Spring Sale on Steam! Demonschool is 20% off!!! You should please buy it if you have not. It's no exaggeration to say the more people buy the game, the more we'll be able to do with it in the future. So tell your friends as well! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...
