Why do the big spikes, in front of the chest, care if the monsters are alive? player learns: spikes require violence :D wishlist link in the comments👇

Update! Maybe 2 weeks away from being done with the 1.3 Quartet update. It's gonna be a good one. Y'all are in for a treat. Switch port is in QA currently. Hoping to submit to lotcheck soon! #QuartetRPG #indiedev

Game dev take: Parallax is the highest impact / lowest effort visual trick in 2D. Overrated or essential? wishlist link in the comments👇

The art from this event scene was very fun to do. #rpg #jrpg #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames

Screenshot from a tense event scene. A team of exorcists were sent to investigate this estate, but things took a bad turn, and now everyone is on edge. #jrpg #rpg #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames

I don't know what to write about this clip. So tell me: what's going on here? (Also, wishlisting Under the Island on Steam helps a lot 💙)

I love enemies that explode when they're defeated. Happy #TurnBasedThursday! #jrpg #rpg #turnbased #indiedev

Do you like unconventional dungeon settings? In Under the Island you can explore a greenhouse full of rampaging vegetables 🌱 (Don't worry though, there are also more traditional dungeon settings). Do you prefer classic dungeons, or more the weirder once?

The launch of the Spanish translation of my book has been moved FORWARD to January 22!! :O

Do you enjoy variety in gameplay activities, like this little sneaking mission? (200% video speed) We want exploration to stay fresh and fun, so Under the Island is packed with diverse gameplay moments. Wishlist on Steam, link in the comments!

One final preview video from this boss fight. In this liminal encounter the terrain shifts in the middle of battle. I'm very excited to see this once the audio is added. #jrpg #rpg #turnbased #indiedev #indiegames

Ever since I first fought Seymour Flux in FFX, I have always loved when a boss does this to you. #jrpg #srpg #turnbased #rpg #indiedev

The choral section from "Apokatastasis" in Quartet. This plays during a climatic moment of Ch 10 and is based on a text by Seneca. Featuring @acappellavgm.bsky.social @juliahenderson.bsky.social Amelia Jones, and Ian Bowling on vocals! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygyy...

I've managed to finish all my work for the day already, and it's a BEAUTIFUL day outside... ...so why not help me SIMULATE what it would be like to actually go outdoors through the beautiful scenery of some casual #ChainedEchoes? twitch.tv/sonicmega

I really like using the base texture for lighting, even though it's cumbersome. It gives a painted, intentional feel that I can't get from engine lighting. Even if I get the angles of the shadows a little wrong, it's still a unique quirk. #jrpg #rpg #indiedev #indiegames#pixelart

I always try to make side quests worth your time. One of the larger optional quests unlocks this treehouse, showcasing all the trophies you've earned throughout the game. Any ideas what the Cat Trophy is for? 🐱 Now available for wishlisting, link in the comments!

A failed ritual. #JRPG #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

In "Quartet" Ben Balani uses his skills as a cook to heal the party. What are you favorite skills in a jrpg? #QuartetRPG #pixelart

Brief scene from the intro of the game. I would like to adjust the water texture to be more ocean-like eventually. However, I like how the animated edge of the waves turned out! Using pixel art paradigms on 3D scene textures is very fun. #jrpg #pixelart #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Another Link Reaction demo! This one reacts to an ally's attack, giving them an HP drain effect. It's been fun to watch the various unexpected chains of cause and effect that can arise from these abilities. #srpg #jrpg #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Kingdoms of the Dump is one of the year's most charming RPGs, an Earthbound-inspired game set in a world made of trash, where you fight in landfills and heal with moldy sandwiches. Which is fitting — it was made by two janitors. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Thanks to @zorakc2c.bsky.social @musiconthedlo.bsky.social @rahulvanamali.com, I have finally achieved my dream of covering a Yakuza jazz bar theme: Silky Night (Yakuza 0-5), for when you're being educated on fine whiskey, or reflecting on that run-in with the Korean mafia (youtu.be/6wiBF0lf9Fs?...)

One of my favorite mechanics in Under the Island: You can bury bombs to create deadly traps, perfect when a fight gets out of hand! 🧨 Do you prefer setting traps or do play more rambo-style? If you like what you see, wishlist link in the comments!

My annual Halloween Castlevania upload: a deep-ish cut from SOTN (Nocturne - Symphony of the Night), a melancholy lullaby the fairy familiar sings when you sit in a chair. Vibed Record of Lodoss War intro so much I binged Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth shortly after (youtu.be/oVufgLlo-Nc?...)
