We just crossed 10,000 wishlists for Way of Madness. That number is crazy to us.

And while we keep shaping Way of Madness, don’t forget we’re also working on Silent Fangs: Stealthy Vampire’s Tale our PSX style hack and slash game.

We’ll have more to show soon.

Once I started building my portfolio website, I couldn’t stop now I have three versions:

-A medieval-themed,
-A clean, minimal one,
-And a chaotic, webcore version.

The webcore one began as a joke but somehow, it’s still there.

A lot of great games go unnoticed.
Not because they’re bad, but because they’re buried.

Just updated my website! Spent almost a week on it, and I’m really happy with the results. Check it out: www.bahatanoral.com

As an indie dev, game designer it can be hard to showcase our works but I think it's okayish portfolio atm.
