3 screenshots from my upcoming game! July ended up being a stupidly busy month, and this last push took a bit longer than expected... but the game is done and I'm in the home stretch! Working on the itch page and editing a short trailer. Stay tuned!

ANOTHER ONE! Check out another (VERY cool 😎) playable character from my upcoming game!
Having a lot of fun experimenting with voxel art and sprite stacking in this game! I'm using #MagicaVoxel for the art - it's super fun to use (and it's free)!

people will speak about a game they played as a kid with the same reverence that they might a great song or novel, about how it engrossed them totally and completely. They may even tear up talking about it. and then you ask what game it was and it was Spongebob battle for bikini bottom

Preservation of mystery is one of those things it feels like creators are always fighting for when making games. You know some players will leave as soon as they get lost or don't understand. Lynch was always so inspiring as a champion of preserving mysteries... to all artists, not just in film.
