So I spent a few years building a narrative RPG framework for Tales from The Dancing Moon...

I realised I can use it as an "engine" to create more independent stories.

My current idea is a narrative festive themed detective story. 🔍🎄🧐

I completed #Expedition33 (great game!). Any end-game things I should do before my Game Pass subscription runs out? 😅

I used Inkarnate to design the overhead maps for my indie game. Here's a selection of the playable areas, including a screenshot of how they appear in games UI! 📍🗺️

I wish I could have spent more time with them, but generally they serve their purpose!

More UI work!

Still piecing together what this game *could* be. I'm in a prototype and lookdev stage to get a feel of things.

What do you think?

I recently bought a house! Which means gamedev has taken a back seat while I pursue decorating 🎨

Managed to sneak in some UI work though, how do you feel about this card selection stuff? 🤔

Working on a minor patch for the game. Using it as an opportunity to add Steam's Rich Presence feature!

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate.

what do you think?

New to MtG, maybe my thinking is off here...

With how each new set is released it feels like the previous sets don't exist any more. Felt like it with Bloomburrow and now with FF. Wonder what it'd take to make the current Standard feel more like an overall narrative.

How do you ask and remind players to leave a review for your game without sounding like a complete nag constantly 😭
