There's a bundle of my 2 released games right now! Treasure n' Bones is a hectic simulation game where you name skeletons and watch them attempt to traverse a dungeon on the quest for gold. Leaflup's Candy Hunt is a small collectathon platformer with a cute story! itch.io/s/160417/tre...

YIKES! It's a NEW Mansion of a Million Monsters! TRAILER

I added a water gun weapon to my game and immediately thought, “Hey this should be able to put out fire!”. So, now I have fire and a lite elemental system in my game. #gamedev #indiegames

A few shots for #ScreenshotSaturday. I spent my free time on things that pay money this week, but still made time for Space Cowboy. #pico8 #RetroGameDev #IndieGameDev

More or less took this week off of Dribble to recoup after the Chicago showcase, so not a lot of progress to show; just a few small things here and there. I did take the time, however, to animate the logo in a fun way. #screenshotsaturday

Big news! I realized it's gonna become important to have a better logo for future public events, so I hired @afroog.bsky.social to give the game's logo a revamp, and they knocked it out of the park! Here's both their HD version and a pixel-art version rendition by me.
