Hello there fellow internet traveler!

I'm Achie, and I spend my time creating & playing indie games on the internet, making videos, review and articles about them!

You can find me in a lot of places, rambling about gamedev or cool games!

A dark fantasy tileset showcasing a forest are with ruins and domestic animals near a village! Totally free to used, published by yours truly. DailyDoku is a 4x4 Sudoku I made for the lowrezjam2024! Place cute little symbols instead of numbers in this charming remake. Nightcrawl is my latest "full" game. You travel forward to the lich's tower, stepping left-or-right, choosing the path of least resistance among enemies, while picking up better and better gear.

QRP to reintroduce yourself!

Hello, I'm KB and I'm a self taught artist who likes to do a little bit of everything and can be all over the place because of it! And I wouldn't have it any other way :>
A character with a floating eyeball for a head (Eyebie) sitting at a table with their hands together. Something smokey and glowing red is in their hands, and they look at the viewer in an ominous way. The painting has a pink/red tone to it, with blue accents, and Eyebie's green iris A cat furry with three eyes and antler like horns (Rylene) is reaching up to a glowing snowflake in the dark. Rylene is looking at it with a sense of wonder Close up digital painting of a chicken An impressionistic digital painting of a poppy being lit from behind, the petals are very vibrant while the background is more muted

Am still resting, I assure you
But my ultimate comfort character needed a(nother) quick piece, never enough Denadiris

A dark character with an eye for a face wearing a golden crown with three spikes and eyes on said spikes, a green turtleneck sweater, and a red puffy coat with a white fur collar, they are looking at the viewer head on, and there's the hint of a snowflake seen in their eye

I said @achiegamedev.bsky.social's question of how Denadiris would wear the hat would be answered one day... This day! Second guess was closest for certain!
"You happy now? This is kind of comfy..."

#ocsky #oc #art
A dark character with an eyeball for a face wearing a Santa inspired outfit, including a Santa hat that goes over their usual three spiked crown with eyes, leaving the eyes atop of bits of white fluff.

Little Secret Santa drawing of two amazing #oc characters of @kbdraws92.bsky.social ! It was a blast to try and draw in actual "normal" resolution instead of all the 8x8 art ✏️

Gotta had to ask the question how Denadiris would wear a Santa hat, maybe one day we will know 🤔

#pixelart
Secret Santa art for KBDraws! There two OCs, Denadiris and Eyebie in Christmas costumes. Denadiris on the left towering in Santa costume, without the iconic hat yet, to the right Eyebie in green-red Elf costume thinking about how Denadiris would wear it. Small hats on the tips of the crown or pierced hat the eyes poking out of it. Maybe one day we will know. The background is a mix of lavender shades mixed with eye shaped Christmas decor and snowflakes.

Lil something something for @dyamode.bsky.social for a Secret Santa event! Cozy Cat Tea Time, had a blast drawing this, happy holidays!

A cute but bizarre scene of a teacup pouring out cats onto a table, playing into the cats are liquid trope, there's also a cupcake with cat ears and pink frosting, and a chocolate chip cookie where the chips are also cat shaped

According to itch I am about 7 plays from beating the Mari Lwyd game from last year, and 20 plays from beating Frosty's Snowed Under (my other Christmas game last year).

It should beat both, this week. That's nice :)
rhys.wales Rhys Wynne @rhys.wales · 15d
Mari Lwyd's Pantri Panic v3 has been released.

It contains some code optimisations so it can run better on less powerful machines.

The code optimisations was that I commented out the debugging commands. Meaning they don't run.

Whoops.

Enjoy!

Y'know what
NOW it's full circle. Felt like it'd be fun to make an Eyebie edit to my picture with the dress

I've updated Mari Lwyd's Pantri Panic to v2 which is able to download and play at rhyswynne.itch.io/mari-lwyds-p...

1. High Scores (thanks to MaxOsirus) now save.
2. I've slowed down the flicker on the high score (see video).
3. I've fixed a spelling mistake.

Check it out
