The demo has now been released - get it at molluscdeflation.itch.io/gossamerdivorce.

Making art, making art, maaaaaking arrrrrrrt.🎵

ANNIHILATOR 2026 Preorder window is still open. Reserve a physical game today: annihilator.games

What the hell are they feeding this toys? The package is damaged so I'm tempted to open it and using it as a drawing tool. But.. I could give it away?

If you're not aware. A new engine for the Mega Drive is on the horizon. Based on GBStudio. So I'm concepting some ideas. I'm hoping to spend some time figuring out the look of 90s SEGA games.

«9 days remain.» The demo for retro sci-fi mystery visual novel GOSSAMER DIVORCE releases April 15 2026. ⇢ molluscdeflation.itch.io/gossamerdivorce First trailer below. ⇣

and..... I made Silent Hill...

I'm kind of wondering if this would make a fun Sega Master System game? Side scrolling beat'em up, but all guns. Would love to figure out a way to reuse these sprites.

Get ready to see this everywhere.

Probably my favorite BG I've drawn.

I've been making backgrounds for this project and I've really been wanting to share them.

It's Monday, and you don't own a copy of ANNIHILATOR. Change that: annihilator.games #indiegames #gameboycolor

Spent like 12 hours modifying the emulator to work with key binding changes... and keyboard is working. Game Pad.. to be continued. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #retrogames

The good news is, the Annihilator 2026 preorder window has already reached it's MOQ funding goal. So I could close the window early. But I really would like to get it into a store or 2. But I'm finding out, that is much much easier said than done.

Just a fun update, but I released a Beta PC version: saltandpixel.itch.io/annihilator - the current version just launches into the game. But I'm working on the features. This could be a nice little "all in one" package. Game Boy Color on your PC.

I've been sitting on this, but I realized I had a Steam app credit I could use and it's a really fast turn around. ANNIHILATOR (GBC) for PC. Keyboard and Game Pad controls are working. Maybe a beta release for now, on itch?

Just some late night shenanigans. But I think I'm going to release an ANNIHILATOR GBC for PC port this weekend. Also, this has potential to reach modern consoles. #gamedev #indiegames #gameboycolor

Welp. I started a new youtube channel for Annihilator Games: youtu.be/UmqtVDTvEjc

Sent out my first wholesale pitch to a local shop. Wish me luck!

Just realized, that quite a few physical magazines have reviewed Annihilator. It's hard to pin them all down. Some of them have been mailed to me. I need to go dig through my stuff. I'm grateful for the every bit of it. Also, if you have wrote articles or reviewed my work. Please reach out.

Sending out press releases, again. Curious to see if "Another Preorder Window" is a headline. People like the "big pop" or "overnight success" stories, but Annihilator has been a slow growth thing. Reserve a physical copy here: annihilator.games #gamedev #indiegames #physicalgames

If you know me, you know I'll be refining art up until the very last day lol. I've been working on what the Annihilator (Shinryu) character looks like. The window to preorder the physical game is open: annihilator.games #gamedev #gameboycolor #retrogames

Working out what the Annihilator (Shinryu) character looks like. Trying to get better at sketching, in general. annihilator.games #gamedev

ANNIHILATOR for Game Boy Color is having it's next preorder/restock: annihilator.games Over 400 games have been sold since it's release, and now you have another chance to get a physical edition of the game and help me restock and launch Annihilator Games. The window will be open for a few months

I'm creating buttons for Annihilator's Restock Reservation. Prices have gone up and there is a tariff. Thankfully (if my calculations are correct) I can keep the base price the same. I would like to get through this next preorder pretty quick.

A little late night manga sketch.

🕹️Calling all Game Boy and Game Boy Color fans! We’re starting to build up a nice selection of games in our catalog, and we’re thrilled to be working with these developers to bring you physical copies of their games—titles we personally love 💚 ➡️ www.homebrew-factory.com/12-game-boy

The thing about Steam is, you don't have to use it. Most game studios or indie devs are not even well known enough to take advantage of its algorithmic charts. Which is the only way to be successful on a platform like Steam, because you drive your traffic to it.

One of the earlier creatures you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love is the Haniwa, an animated clay statue. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #jrpg

I started a new company called Annihilator LLC for my personal game dev. I have transferred all my IPs to it. annihilator.games forwards to Salt & Pixel as I work on the new site. In the mean time, I can start hosting the preorder/restock within the next 2 weeks.

I got GBStudio's web export to iframe inside a construct 3 .exe export. Basically a webpage inside a webpage, nothing impressive, it took less than 10 min to figure out. I'm able to produce my own PC and Mobile releases.

The line up so far!!!

Okay... so it might work better as back panel art. saltandpixel.itch.io/the-damned

The Damned cover is like 98% complete. Goal was to make it feel like a huge adventure. saltandpixel.itch.io/the-damned

Progress on The Damned cover. saltandpixel.itch.io/the-damned

The Damned is getting new cover art as well. It's also due for an update. having it posted here, makes me not like the skull face. lol You can play the demo here: saltandpixel.itch.io/the-damned It's a beat em up for the GBC.

Going to do a preorder/inventory restock. Better if they are done at the same time. I'll also have The Damned (beat 'em up) development preorder alongside it. Join the newsletter, if you haven't: zc.vg/hrVkA

Popping back in to say one of my most anticipated games of the year is out later today! I haven't really played around much in this genre but I was a massive fan of the NextFest demo for it so im excited to dig into the full thing! @pasgame.ca store.steampowered.com/app/3525970/...

The first pre-order campaign for a SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis game is ongoing on Homebrew Factory! We are happy to help OrionSoft fund and produce the physical version of Escape 2049. The goal has been reached, so production is guaranteed. ➡️ www.homebrew-factory.com/megadrive-ge...

Updated the logo too. I think I'm 90% there. But once this is finished, I'll be doing another pre-order/inventory purchase.

Annihilator's new cover art. #gameboycolor

The final thing won't be watercolor. I still need to clean up the sketch a lot. I wanted to see if I like this on a box.

Before/after. I don't know. Painting is not my thing. Spent 10+ hours on the turd to the left. But with the pen - 2 hours. It's like I was actually having fun and being inspired or something.

Annihilator is getting grammar and bug fixes, and new art. V.2.5 is now available saltandpixel.itch.io/annihilator I'm working on a new cover as well

Annihilator is getting another run, soon. Can't wait to update on that a bit more... but - I'm currently fixing bugs and redoing some cutscene art. The cover art is also getting redone. So those first round games are never happening again, in that form.

I host a game dev meetup in VA. I'm planning an event at the end of April. I'm trying to find all the homebrew devs and media people from Richmond up to DC. Reach out if that is you.

Teasing the forest level. This is an old tile set. I'm recognizing that this style feels a little outdated. But anyways, go play the demo for this Game Boy Color Beat 'Em Up saltandpixel.itch.io/the-damned
