Vote Cyclopean: The Great Abyss for "Indie of the Year!"
https://www.indiedb.com/games/cyclopean
pinned post!
This is a list of my currently released games, starting from the most recent. Right now I am working on Cyclopean. It's an old school CRPG based on Lovecraft's Dreamlands. Without getting too detailed about the gameplay, let's call it "Befriending cats in the underworld" for now.

for the upcoming Star Explorers 6.0 release! I was able to fix some memory leaks and bugs, but I am bummed because I had to go back to my old color palette. The new one made the game unplayable...

Can someone explain to me the reason for the existence of "Realtek?" Why is this company still around? What have they ever done that is not just awful and annoying?

I am almost ready to release Star Explorers version 6.0! I started this game 13 years ago and I still love working on it. It's still a janky mess in many ways, but it will always be my baby.

I've updated the camera movement script for Islands of the Caliph too (as I did in Cyclopean). I tried to fix it before, but the player would sporadically spin around in the wrong direction :)

I have added this new feature of showing enemies up close during encounters. But I forgot to make their regular sprite invisible, so it looks like there are two Voonith here, instead of just one. It scared me for a moment because I thought they were multiplying!

Just saw this because it was leaving Netflix (which is a whole other discussion). I was surprised how it felt like a disaster movie, but before all the disaster movie tropes and expectations had been established.
