in case you didn't know, i have a remix in this album! go check it out!!

Anthropomorphosis, a 15-track breakcore album I wrote with a Game Boy 2 years ago, is going name-your-price for good. aquellex.bandcamp.com/album/anthro...

The Spirit Engine is such an obscure gem these days. Young me loved the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the early 2000s. Love to see old indie gems from a bygone era getting love decades later; this is the sort of remake/remaster work I live for

SAGE 2025 is now live and I've uploaded a non-Steam demo of The Spirit Engine DX! www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #rpg #jrpg #GameMaker

SAGE 2025 HAS BEGUN! PLAY GAMES, RIDE THE AIR, AND DELVE INTO THE GEAR WITH US THIS WHOLE WEEK! sagexpo.org/home

I'll be participating in this year's SAGE with The Spirit Engine DX!...what the heck is a strategy MMF game from 2003 doing in a Sonic festival!? 😜 Non-Steam demo out by then! store.steampowered.com/app/3424270/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #rpg #jrpg #GameMaker

For those of you #gamemaker users curious about the order in which events generally execute each frame of your game. (The Draw Gui Event has the instance_destroy() it)

cant reveal the whole song yet but this lil drumloop has to be one of my favorites ive made in a while. nice to feel like there's still always something to learn

this thing

Iconic early 00s indie game! Loved it when it came out. Definitely deserves more attention

I'm not familiar with this one, but you know me, I'm excited to see any 20+ year old game resurface.

Véi, eu não lembrava o nome desse jogo mas vira e mexe lembrava dele, principalmente da trilha sonora. fiquei feliz por finalmente lembrar o nome

OMG, just a glance at the paused video on my phone and I was "wait, is someone making a spritual (heh) successor to Spirit Engine?" before even seeing your username. Ohboi, ohboi, I love Spirit Engine, I am soo excited! 😍

I’m delighted to see this game resurfacing. I worked with its creator, Mark, a long time ago in my first game art job. He’s a lovely talented guy. This game and its sequel were (and still are) so polished and ambitious.

There are so many incredibly good indie jrpgs. It's easy to miss some. But if you haven't played a Spirit Engine, you really, really want to give this one a look.

"I didn't realize Mark was involved in this project" is a heck of a contextless quote to put in your trailer, I love it

A big thanks to Aquellex for contacting me about The Spirit Engine DX, and offering an early demo code so I could offer my first impressions on the day that demo goes live. Take a read to see what I think, then go check it out yourself. In brief, this is a game I'm keeping my eye on.

this is really such an incredible relic of the past (that was decades ahead of its time imo), i highly recommend checking it out!

Legendary game. Still fresh imo. I'll probably be streaming this next week.

those who know, know

I started making games in Klik & Play, The Games Factory, and Multimedia Fusion, before moving on to Unity Now making my last Unity game, after which I'm either going for Monogame or just SDL3. Funny thing is, the engine I'll make for my future games will probably be closer to Clickteam than Unity

Finished the art for the game over screen! The color palette for the entire games is the one in the picture. @thaisweiller.bsky.social helped me with the palette hahaha #bionator #pixelart #retropc
