made a... Fire Drill. #gamedev #metroidvania

Dear AI-bros: I'd rather have no engagement on my posts, than engagement from you.

so NBTP is done (go wishlist it etc), but I just... don't want to market it. It's a great game, I just don't like marketing. I'll just send the emails to the youtubers/streamers in February/March and probably call it there.

Due to a surge in AI-generated content, I feel the need to mention that everything in Nothing Beyond This Point is human-made (by me) and I would never use generative AI to make assets, code, videos, or text. #antiai #gamedev #afterimagefromslaythespireisgoodthoughandcanstay

concept:

the final boss music is not LOUD enough!!!

hi welcome new followers from the Realms slack! I still play Minecraft sometimes, I'm just like you. also consider following me on tumblr! I'm kidding, don't do that.

Nothing Beyond This Point will release April 1st, 2026! No, it's not a joke, it's real I swear. Read all about it: store.steampowered.com/news/app/332... #gamedev #metroidvania

roguelikes are a lot like gacha games if you really think about it.

i did not watch the game awards. for i do not care

father @ son... (from game #1 Full Gear to game #2 Nothing Beyond This Point)

Okay, look, *listen* #gamedev #music

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

I keep adding more stuff. can't stop myself.

New trailer for Nothing Beyond This Point! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIOt... #gamedev #metroidvania #steam

I'm running out of bugs to find. only stupid things like "this particle is slightly off" or "this text slightly overlaps". Ugh. I need external testers

i messed up

Happy 1 year anniversary! Today exactly 1 year ago I began developing Nothing Beyond This Point, and look how far we've come! I'm really happy to have made such progress in such a short time, and here's to the game coming out soon!

Most of the game is done. I am still procrastinating on the giant wall that's ahead of me (ending cutscenes)

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated! forms.gle/cG3BEkGqwuoh...

Skong time over. Back to my usual antics. #gamedev

Nothing Beyond This Point is in the #ANZ #indiefest (demo section)! Plus a lot of great games like Cryptmaster and Dredge. Go try some new games, mates. store.steampowered.com/sale/ANZIndi...

Finished #silksong. 98%. Good game but really needs a balance patch. Too many things were too frustrating. I did get used to the double damage, but other things (double stunned/CONTACT damage, long runbacks, act 3 economy, etc) still bothered me. So many amazing moments though. Glad to have seen em.

Silksong good. But Silksong VERY difficult. Ran into a boss that's definitely not the final boss, but it reminded me of Hollow Knight's final boss. Uh oh. #silksong

Top-down Metroidvania playing as an "Inferno" in a giant, empty Void. Unique health system: infinite healing, but spend health to deal damage. Use navigation in many different forms to find your way out of the lonely darkness. #PitchYaGame #PitchYaVania #Silksong

Silksong day! And just in time, now that I've finished this mysterious giant flask... do you think it's worth tracking down and destroying? #metroidvania #gamedev

One of the last obstacles... the rain. #gamedev

Laptop starts vibrating. I quickly turn it off, remove all cables, flip it upside down, remove some dust, flip it upside up, start it up. No issues. Still making a game backup juuuuuuuuuuuuust in case

I, too, would enjoy pulling a Team Cherry and giving no updates, allowing me to fully focus on Making A Videogame instead of endlessly marketing it.

Fine. Nothing Beyond This Point will get a bestiary. #gamedev #metroidvania

Small progress update time! store.steampowered.com/news/app/332... Also includes free eyes.

fuckin based tbh

uh oh

Unfortunately I don't have any good NBTP memes. Fortunately I have many bad Full Gear memes, from my previous game. They're great. They're awful, but they're great.

Ahhh! I wanna show off NBTP but I don't know how!! I just wanna make it!!! Idk. Uhh. Hey look at this cool screenshot!

this is probably fine #gamedev

Area 13 out of 16 complete! I also added some sneaky things in there... shhhh. What could they possibly mean? #gamedev #metroidvania

i like this post very much

spoilers for Nothing Beyond This Point's bosses #gamedev #metroidvania

tshirt that says "I have seen the face of Divinity and all I got was this lousy tshirt"

Nobody's inside, yet the statues are viciously attacking you... #gamedev

Finally did the right thing and commissioned an artist to make Nothing Beyond This Point's showoff art. Pretty sick. Made by Hélène Bianchi (helenebianchi.com)! #gamedev #indiedev #art #commission

God DAMN that silkpost live on stage. wish I was there. #silksong tomorrow for sure???? #notcopium #definitelyforrealthistime #silksongisreal

The Void is cold. Set it on fire. In Nothing Beyond This Point, you explore and fight using fire, navigation, and a unique health system. Escape the Void - if you're able. Free demo available now. store.steampowered.com/app/3321280/... #pitchyagame #gamedev #metroidvania #indiedev #indiegame

Making songs using bells as instrument is hard. Fortunately, you can mitigate most issues by simply adding more bells.

#deltarune on my birthday? Scrumptious.

friendly reminder that cool gamedevs support pride everywhere.

Nothing Beyond This Point has hit 1000 wishlists!!! Incredible! Read a development update and the price reveal here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/332...

Really love making cool effects like this. My graphical capabilities have improved massively. #gamedev #gamedesign #metroidvania
