The party battles a new superboss, with a square obscuring the identity of the boss. A new bridge in the Final Zone where the superboss can be found. The Festivity Card in the menu. Its description reads "Celebrate 10 years of MV together! Skips the turn for all Enemies and Allies!"

This year I locked in and have been trying to improve my overall craft. This year me and @natanmaia95.bsky.social combined forces to create, Project: Robot! An interesting concept that turned out pretty well with gameplay getting 7th place!

Overall? This year has been good!

This year, I finally finished and published Silver Daze!

Not just that, but we got Archipelago working for it as well!
Of course, I've started development on another project, but it's not yet time to show that off yet!
What an awesome year!

Running this thru RPG Beta Testing once more! Another screenshot-sat campaign!

They're awesome people hungry for great RPGs and developer support via a great give-and-take testing experience unrivaled by most gamedev servers I'm in.

Great attitudes about true feedback!

Love the look of that ghost character!

For #screenshotsaturday, been working on adding some seasonal easter eggs into #BuffetKnight. A little upcoming holiday festivity... for summer in the southern hemisphere!
