Hello! I'm an indie game developer. I also make art and music. These days I'm mostly raising a baby though! 👶

Games:
💥 SUPERFIGHTERS DELUXE, a chaotic online 2D brawler. A new update is in the works!

💎 FILCHER, a first-person stealth game / immersive sim. I would love to make another one some day!

If you already own Filcher, you can gift it or trade it in on Digiphile to help someone new discover it. Sounds neat!

You think the cleaner is only good for cleaning?
Ha! Think again!
How about spraying oil and setting it on fire?
Such a classic... (just one example from many)

Yes! We finally implemented the Thief-like ledge-grabbing feature, which made the sense of freedom and the exploration a thousand times better in an instant.

Filcher, by solo dev @johanhjarpe.bsky.social, is a fun spiritual successor to the classic Thief Series. If you can get it at the right price, it's well worth it. Full review below.

Had a great launch party for this tonight.

Usually when I release my games I sit at home and feel nervous, so for once it was nice to feel nervous in public instead. We did a Pogo Kombat tournament. Folks loved it. This might be a good game? Good Steam reviews so far. Feels nice. G'night folks.

PERIPETEIA has officially RELEASED into early access.
This has been an incredible journey thus far, possible only thanks to all of you.
We will continue to release maps, bugfixes, and content for all as it continues development with KS and patron backers early.

Hey all! We are making a disco-punk space-horror game, where you can be a sneaky chap or a crazy mutant action hero on a space station swallowed by a black hole.

There will be weird creatures, immersive features, time jumps, and 70s mustaches!

As a dedicated fan of immersive sims, I've been waiting for Peripeteia for a long time. After spending 40+ hours with the early access build, here are my honest impressions. 🧵
