Gamedev, artist, part-time hermit
I made Maestria and Bomb Club. Currently working on a new game called Fakutori!
I simplified the composition a lot along the way, the first draft was far too busy... Here are the small wakas I drew for the background, in the end I only used two of them.

Fakutori key art, with the sketches! Look at that first one, clearly the work of someone who LOVES doing sketches...

It should give you an irresistible urge to wishlist Fakutori! is it working?

Mousse au chocolat! 🍫

It's the vegan version, using chickpeas cooking water instead of eggs. It sounds weird, but it works wonder and it's delicious! It's vegan magic!

Antimatter will turn all other blocks into Void, which is very useful: when Void comes into contact with a concept block (here, Luck 🍀), it transforms into a copy of it!

(This is a rework of the old Void effect that was in the demo, lil' design thread below 🧵)

I changed the recipe for Entropy!

Before: combine two energy blocks
Now: cool a Fire block with an Ice block

More interesting mechanically, and I didn't like that Entropy was much harder to make than other concept blocks. Much easier now!

Quick sketch from a while ago.
I should draw more often just for fun. But with what TIME??

Let's play the symbols game! 5 element blocks, 5 symbols. Which goes with which? (I'm very curious to know if my symbols make sense)

This is a Clem appreciation post. Go on, appreciate her! (And play Fakutori) (It's very good) (She's in it)

Iron + Fizzy Water = Blood
Let's make a blood factory for reasons I'd rather not disclose! Normal stuff! Stop asking!

Have you wishlisted Fakutori yet? There's a demo too!

Clem found a bunch of new prophecies! Will you be able to discover all those legendary blocks?

And finally, a lil' production line using teleporters to evolve fire with 3 wood blocks at once. Probably not optimal, I can't wait to see what players will come up with for this new machine!

The time it takes to teleport a block depends on the range; it's the same as if this block was being moved on a conveyor belt.

New machine for Fakutori, the Teleporter!
It can teleport blocks up to 5 tiles away, going through every other blocks. A very versatile tool!

New machine for Fakutori: the Recycler! Don't know what to do with all the byproduct blocks that recipes will often produce? Feed them to a Recycler and turn them into something useful!

Here's an example, turning 5 blocks of Dust into a Geode!

There is a very neat way to handle autotiling on a grid using binary and bitwise operations, which I had been meaning to try out for a while. Praise George Boole, I'm now a real computer man!

Same ones alongside some machines.

I'm reworking Fakutori's most useful machine, the wall, so it autotiles between neighbors. I've made some variants, but I can't decide which would be best... Give me your thoughts!

This unique block can instantly evolve fire block! Very useful, but you can only build one...

New mechanic for Fakutori: breakable blocks!
Achondrite is one such block; drop it on something and it will break, transforming into a random metal block. You might get Gold... But more often, you'll only get Lead.

New mechanic for Fakutori!
The Ice block can cool burning blocks, transforming them into something else. For example, putting an Ice block next to a Lava block will turn it into Obsidian!
