#Gaurodan is out!
The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

Probando (de nuevo) distintas opciones de bezel.
Una tiene un marco semi realista que le da cierta profundidad, pero ocupa mucho espacio y se corta en 16:9 con escalado decimal de píxeles.
La otra es todo en plano. Hay más espacio para el diseño, pero pierde profundidad.
Se nota + en fullscreen

I think @marineteta.bsky.social may have pulled off the most iconic Spanish bar pixelart texture set.

I kept seeing something in japanese shmups: bullets are equidistant. So moving up doesn't create clumps of bullets, and moving down doesn't make the bullet stream seem more sparse.
So I mocked it up. Feels very right. It's not for anything, just a proof of concept.

I have an update (almost) ready for three games, but first I will release one of them to check if the new system works.
Which one should I release first?
1. Gaurodan
2. l'Abbaye des Morts
3. Toxic Tomb

one of the magical conceits in my game is that there are spells, 'glamours', which coat an object in a thin but very pigmented layer of material. you often find objects in bright, solid colors because someone changed them to match their livery, favorite colors, the personality of an item...

Hablando de créditos. El otro día estaba pensando en las ventajas y desventajas de acreditar en el ending de un juego / hacerlo en una opción del menú / hacerlo en un readme.txt
El readme.txt no es lo ideal porque está prácticamente desvinculado de la obra.

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

Este momento se me quedó grabado en la retina cuando jugué por primera vez a Sonic CD en el Virgin Megastore de Sevilla a finales de 1993. Es de una simpleza técnica brutal, pero gracias a la maestría de los programadores, te creaba la ilusión óptica de girar la pantalla de manera tridimensional:

These images have haunted me my whole life. Especially the Godzilla vs Biollante one.

I have the side mission of making the arts for a multi-game arcade cabinet with 4 locomalito games. Pretty complex because my *bRaNd* is all black and white and not very arcadey.
But I want to try something.

"Crawneer" es un juego para SNES que estoy haciendo en mis ratos libres. Es un juego de puzles con progresión arcade con pantalla fija, utilizando la librería PVSnesLib e imitando algo anterior a esa gen.
Será gratuito y saldrá en febrero en fran-friki.itch.io. ¡Te espero!

This really does show what a con streaming music is.
1 BILLION streams, and she gets basically nothing from it.
So anyone else how gets "some" streams, has NO chance of making a living from it.
Something has to change to make that sustainable for artists.

Hoy he estado con unos diseños para una posible cosa, que no es un videojuego (aunque tiene que ver) y que ya contaré más adelante si llega a buen puerto.
No es la primera vez que intento algo así y al final acabo echando un porrón de trabajo a la basura, pero me da que esta vez podría funcionar.
