At last, we've reached the final part of the walkthrough, the second section of The Ever Shifting Manor, through to the end game.
Some great stuff here, reaching the culmination of metaphorical puzzle mechanics tying back in to the story.

Finally got around to playing Neon White - from watching gameplay vids I didn’t know if I’d be into it, but it’s awesome. The game-feel is spot on.

Updated the #pelicanempyrean Steam demo today.
The most requested thing was a way to view all cards in the deck.
I didn't want to spoil too much by showing what cards will arrive in your hand next, so this new View Deck mode shows the cards in random order.

Finished Mario 2 today. About halfway through I realized I’d never even been close to finishing it in the past, even though I always thought I had.
Probably my second fave now after Galaxy. Such a satisfying structure of longer levels with a boss fight at the end of every level

Played all the way through Mario 3 which I haven’t done in a very long time.
It’s still so high up there in terms of the breadth of its creativity, diversity of creatures and refined difficulty ramp.
Even designing a platformer today there’s so much to learn from it.

Might be interesting to game devs that Pelican Empyrean all takes place within a single Unity scene.
I need to be on the ball when it comes to tracking the variables to reset between play sessions, but the upshot is that the build time is crazily fast - currently ~20secs

Had an amazing case of why game difficulty is so challenging to get right as a dev:
This morning I had one player get through my whole demo on their first attempt.
And the same morning another player said they struggled to get past the first of seven levels.

A long-planned update to Dream of the Star Haven is coming soon!
We’re adding side scroller platforming minigames!
Excited to share this with you as it really takes the mode-switching aspect of the game to the next level.

The Pelican Empyrean demo is out now for #SteamNextFest !
A magical cooking roguelike card game with a heart of gold.
It's about an aging pelican who wants to lighten his beak by giving back to the world by way of cooking delicious meals.

#paxaus is all done and dusted for another year. Awesome array of games and, as usual, the #indiegames were the star for me. Aus and New Zealand are blazing and there’s no shortage of up and coming new talent!

First day of #paxaus has been fun and hectic. The diversity of #indiegames, both in tone and genre, is massive!
Here’s my picks so far:
L8R Sk8R - a speed running 3rd person skating game with sort of PS1 era graphics. A bit like a non-violent Neon White. Tight controls and very fun to play!

Reading this excellent book at the moment - Universal Play. Highly recommend it if you’re interested in a positive look at (and de-stigmatizing of) the relationship between games and mental health.

Dev update for Pelican Empyrean: We’ve done some in depth playtesting on the “easy” run and results were good, but players asked us to ease off the difficulty and make the game feel more rewarding.
So at the end of a failed run you can now choose one magic artefact to carry over into your next run
