The games I played most on Steam in 2025. All 3 are bangers. 8BA2 and Quartet are now two of my favorite games of all time. Not finished with KotD yet but loving it.

I've still been slowly chipping away at pearlessential, a turn based rpg without levels or exp. Although I've been a bit mesmerized by this environmental effect I added 😅

It's been awhile since I made this miasma effect, but it remains one of my favourites. Although maybe I should try animating the decal under it...

Finally managed to switch the state of the game from "purchased" to "installed". I really really like that you took everything, that is kinda annoying in other games, away and found a great improvement. Be it health pots giving 50% so they don't turn useless; the ability to lock your party, so 1/2

Another Link Reaction demo! This one reacts to an ally's attack, giving them an HP drain effect. It's been fun to watch the various unexpected chains of cause and effect that can arise from these abilities. #srpg #jrpg #indiedev #gamedevelopment
