Unholy Roller v0.9.0 recently released with a bunch of new features! I thought it would be cool to give a behind-the-scenes look at our most recent enemy: the Burner! (1/4)
We just released a new build of Unholy Roller on our itch page speakerbeak.itch.io/unholy-roller! You can play v0.9.0 on Web or Desktop and enjoy a bunch of new features, including: a fifth level, a red-hot enemy, and some crazy new scoring mechanics!

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

#AvocadoAttorney now has something any visual novel needs: dialogue options!

You can build these with a linear string of blocks using a simple template. The system is highly modular, allowing certain options to add others to the list or lead to a sub-menu.

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

First of two evidence-related things I worked on last month: Evidence popups!

Thanks to the animation systems I've already made, this was surprisingly easy to add!
