We got to test our game on Steam Deck this weekend, and it works! There were a few minor issues, but now I know what to fix.

The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!

I've been checking out Gun Frontier, a pretty cool shmup for 1990. The Saturn port has an Easy difficulty, which made it a fun way to grab a casual 1CC youtu.be/ihGxqEa-3rs

We announced our game last week, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love! 💙 Also, I promise this account won't be 100% self promotion. I'll share what we're working on, but also other geeky things I'm into. Our 2nd account, @chaindamagegames.bsky.social will just be for promoting the game

Here it is - the first trailer for our game! We're excited to finally show off what we've made so far. And we have a Steam page now!

We're getting ready to post a trailer and Steam page for the shmup we're making! I think tomorrow is the big day. We also made a separate account for our business name - @chaindamagegames.bsky.social - so I'll share some stuff over there, too

I've been trying to learn Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Maniac, but I wasn't prepared for how hard this mode is! I cleared Black Label Maniac a couple of years ago, and I thought 1.5 Maniac would be a little harder. But it's a dramatic difference! I'm having fun, but holy moly

Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday!

Over this past week, we've been refining the scoring system and working on graphics for the second boss. There's a lot to do, but we're having fun 😊

We're making progress on our shoot 'em up. Looking forward to revealing the title, trailer, and Steam page soon(ish)!

Here's a miniboss from the bullet hell shmup we're making. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to post these clips without Bluesky blurring the pixel art too much

Another Cave shmup conquered - Espgaluda 2. With this, I've met my goal of 10 Cave 1CCs!

So, this happened tonight. I'll get it next time.

I finished customizing my arcade stick today. It's a Mayflash F700 with Seimitsu parts and art from Gradius. It's really fun to play on this!
