I'm loving Pragmata, obviously, it's brilliant.
A lot of the game's aesthetics, presentation, and details remind me of one of my all-time favorite games, The Surge.
I find The Surge to be a criminally underrated, underappreciated, misunderstood masterpeice, and I hope people give it another chance
He's on an extended break from social media. He's doing okay, the last I checked. There's no indication of if/when he'll be back, so we wish him the best, and we'll keep working away at the Switch ports, and I'll post updates on here whenever I can.
These three spirits, found in both Spectacle and #BeyondShadowgate, are known as the Yajna Ifriti (Blue), The Grimoire Ifriti (Green), and the Hel Ifriti (Red)
... although, these three may not be the only ones out there π

I'm reading through my old Nintendo Powers, and I forgot about the Howard & Nester Deja Vu comic, in Volume 23 π

Oh, it's become sentient before. That's why we also have the largest axe in the world, to protect the largest fiddleheads in the world, across the longest covered bridge in the world, from the largest lobster in the world...
... Yeah, our province is overcompensating
Dear Alex Garland & A24,
If you need a giant 35 foot long Lobster prop for #EldenRing, we have one in New Brunswick
The card game in #BeyondShadowgate was meant to be Black Jack, but we figured that not everyone knows how to play, so we settled on High-Low, a game that requires the least amount of instructions.
There was also meant to be a higher stakes game in the forest camp later on, but it was cut for pacing.
The main field areas in our #PointAndClickAdventure #Shadowgate style game, Spectacle, were inspired by #KingsQuest games, namely #KingsQuestIV
Like in KQIV, All of the rooms in Spectacle face the same direction, have a day/night cycle, and are all equidistant

The Steam Spring Sale π· ends today. You could get all of our #indiegames at their lowest prices β an entire collection, made by humans, for less than the price of lunch.
I drew my #OC, Kauline, as a #StardewValley NPC

It's based on that stamp found on the Shadowgate NES box art π
The icons for the #BeyondShadowgate Steam Acheivements were a blast to make. I made them #1-bit B&W as a tribute to the original Mac release of #Shadowgate
There's a lot of references here, both apparent and obscure, but my favorite is the castle one. Do you know what this is a reference to? π

For #BeyondShadowgate, #Shadowgate co-creator, Dave Marsh, sent me and my team a copy of the original design notes he wrote in 1991.
The game was meant to be a more epic CRPG (With 600+ rooms), but we cut it down to a more maneagable #NES style game, and maintained the original's gameplay mechanics.

I originally had cracks going through the stone letterings... but I learned the hard way that Katakana does NOT work well with lines randomly cutting through the letters, as none of my Japanese friends could read it, lol
When you dig deep, he's actually a LOT worse than you could imagine. He's openly defended pedophilia. He's overtly racist. He runs an abusive and toxic workplace... the list goes on...
FUCK CI Games, and FUCK their disgusting bigotry
Sorry, I just hate bigots, and I don't seperate art from the artist. I hate how excited everyone is for Lords of the Fallen II, a franchise directed by Marek TymiΕski, a transphobic, white-supremacist, pedophile-defending, "anti-woke" grifter.
You spelled Michelangelo wrong, but that's fine. It happens. Darn app doesn't let you correct silly typos.

My concept for a #DarkSouls #Monopoly
Funny how I own like 6 Monopoly boards irl, from Street Fighter and Assassin's Creed, to DBZ and TMNT, yet I hate the game.
It's like Funko POP! Figures. I somehow own like 12 of them, and I don't even like them.
I'll get back to posting on here in a couple more weeks.
I just gotta take care of some stuff, which may or may not be Karate related*
*(it's not)
A GBC inspired screen with coral, enemies, and a blue temple. There is a crab and sea urchin enemy. A red character is at the bottom of the screen, and there is a UI on the sides.
A GBC inspired screen with crystaline walls and floor. There are two round enemies, and a green enemy above. There is a locked door on the left. There are three purple pots, and a epithet in the middle of the room. A red character is at the bottom of the screen, and there is a UI on the sides.

unused art for #BeyondShadowgate
This room was cut from the town
Death atop the POV used to be an acroterion
We dropped the Torch mechanic cause it was incompatable with the game's structure
We entertained the idea of a Verb Wheel, but it was inefficient

What is the most consistently funny movie you've ever seen?
You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds from when I turn on my Switch to when I check for updates on the Nintendo Switch Online N64 player. Because I think maybe It'll update with Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. No warning, no "coming soon", no nothin'. It's just there
They're all so "cringe" π
I mean, yeah! Who even likes; Super Mario Bros. 3, DOOM, Super Metroid, Mega Man X, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, GTA: San Andreas, Resident Evil 4, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami...
