How I arrived on Bluesky

It's hard to narrow down, and some of these are interchangeable with counterparts within their own series, these are the 9 most influential and beloved games that have inspired me throughout my life in terms of design, atmosphere, storytelling, and soundtrack. #my9games my9games.com/s/9b008a4183...

I'm not even mad that my solo commercial releases aren't credited here, I'm more upset over the fact that I was never credited on Shadow the Hedgehog despite being its "expert" tester in the US team at Sega; all of the trailer footage for that game was captured from my gameplay!

If you enjoyed these games, you will like my indie game. #crystalis #willow #monsterparty #splatterhouse #nes #famicom #8bit #retro #horror

For this month's MADHOUSE update, there is a new character to play as in Versus Mode -- an eye guy named Clyde -- AND he comes with his own stage -- the BIO ZONE! Check out the build, now live on Steam! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #retrogame #multiplayer

I started messing around with reworking some of the tilesets in MADHOUSE and added a lot more detail in environments, but I'm having a hard time deciding if I like the original (left) style more, or the remastered (right) style? Which do you think works better? #pixelart

Banking was the last system that I needed to implement in MADHOUSE! Now in the town of Grayville you can: - Store/Withdraw money from the AMS - Eat in the diner to level up attributes - Buy weapons, items, & ammo - Use bus stops to fast travel - Use payphones to save #indiedev #indiegame #MADHOUSE

Setting up a dining mechanic in MADHOUSE has been on my list for a while now, and I'm finally getting around to it! You'll be able to level up your health, stamina, and spirit attributes by ordering food in the diner! #indiegame #solodev #pixelart #MADHOUSE

Put a lot of details into this otherwise small space. #MADHOUSE #indiegame #pixelart #solodev

I wish Bluesky let you do polls! But I'm wondering... Do you read text in video games or just skim through it? I'm asking because the story mode in my retro horror action RPG, MADHOUSE, is equally focused in gameplay and story exposition through (sometimes a lot) of text. I hope people read it!

I could seriously listen to this soundtrack for the rest of my life.

Wanpaku Graffiti's chibi horror style was my catalyst inspiration for MADHOUSE. I didn't even know this existed, but boy am I hyped to get my hands on it!

This fan-made Night Manor boxart mockup by Wasabi goes incredibly hard! 🔪🧟‍♂️Happy Halloween!🏚️🍄

The Monster Party remake looks lit.

Looks like we can't go this way yet following an incident involving an explosion on the west highway bridge... #MADHOUSE #indiegame #pixelart #halloween

It's almost Halloween and if you still haven't gotten a chance to pull some friends together for Versus Mode in MADHOUSE, what's stopping you? You can play remotely via Steam's Remote Play feature. Check it out! #MADHOUSE #multiplayer #wishlistwednesday

🪴HELLO BABY!!! 🪴 Happy Monster Party month everyone! 🎃 #pixelart #monsterparty

Our second update for UFO 50 on Switch is out now (v1.8.9)! - More performance optimizations - Playtimer no longer counts when UFO 50 is inactive - Some button configuration/button display bugs fixed - Other miscellaneous fixes and improvements

The MADHOUSE Halloween Update is LIVE and introduces a new playable character in Versus Mode -- VLAD! Lots of fixes and improvements, too... #indiegame #Halloween #horrorgame #actionRPG #multiplayer

Here's a thank you, roadmap, and update on the progress of MADHOUSE since it released on 10/01:

I designed a creepy shirt for UFO 50 based on "Night Manor!" I hate mushrooms so I took psychic damage drawing this www.fangamer.com/collections/...

Holy smokes. This Night Manor shirt goes so hard.

The next update of MADHOUSE will allow the player to choose between two modes when starting a New Game in the Story campaign: UNCUT or TAMED. Tamed will tone down some of the game's more extreme content for players that want to enjoy the game without offensive language & themes. #indiedev

If you bought MADHOUSE and are having fun with it, please consider giving me a review on Steam! I understand that reviews help with the algorithm and I'd appreciate it greatly 🎃 Additionally, don't miss the 2-4P Versus mode; it's endless fun for you and friends on game night!

MADHOUSE had such an overwhelmingly positive reception at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo! Everyone that played it loved it, especially the little kids that kept coming back every day to play -- much to their parents' chagrin; "Don't you want to see what else is here?!"

Grabbed some stuff at PGX (Pittsburgh Gaming Expo) today. And played an awesome indie game, Madhouse, by @phubans.bsky.social that’s in early access on Steam. Hit it up, horror fans! #PGX #PGX2025 #indiehorror #indiegame #SEGAVisions #JurassicPark

Exhibiting MADHOUSE at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo has been a FANTASTIC experience with such an overwhelmingly positive reception. I don't even have words right now, I'm just stunned by how much people are enjoying my game. Thank you.

@bursterror.bsky.social Nice hanging out with you today, Burstairé! Are you going to the convention tomorrow? I can bring the Monster Party figure for you to see!

Got to play this with the creator himself today and got my ass kicked by him AND a small child! Immediate purchase. 🤘🏻👍🏻

If you're interested in seeing MADHOUSE and can't play it for whatever reason, I recommend checking out this long play video that I posted, which shows all of the content in the Early Access build that released on Steam yesterday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=loe3...

Big thank you to everyone who liked, shared, bought, and wishlisted MADHOUSE! You pushed me past 1000 wishlists overnight and I'm grateful for it! I hope you're all as excited as I am to see the continued development of this Early Access project! #indiegame #horrorgame #halloween
