We got to test our game on Steam Deck this weekend, and it works! There were a few minor issues, but now I know what to fix.

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!

Here's a preview of the stage 1 miniboss and the side panels we're working on. There will be a variety of info panels you can choose from

The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!

Here it is - the first trailer for our game! We're excited to finally show off what we've made so far. And we have a Steam page now!

We're getting ready to post a trailer and Steam page for the shmup we're making! I think tomorrow is the big day. We also made a separate account for our business name - @chaindamagegames.bsky.social - so I'll share some stuff over there, too

I've been trying to learn Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Maniac, but I wasn't prepared for how hard this mode is! I cleared Black Label Maniac a couple of years ago, and I thought 1.5 Maniac would be a little harder. But it's a dramatic difference! I'm having fun, but holy moly

Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday!

Over this past week, we've been refining the scoring system and working on graphics for the second boss. There's a lot to do, but we're having fun 😊

What's up #ScreenshotSaturday folks?

We're making progress on our shoot 'em up. Looking forward to revealing the title, trailer, and Steam page soon(ish)!

Here's a miniboss from the bullet hell shmup we're making. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to post these clips without Bluesky blurring the pixel art too much

Another Cave shmup conquered - Espgaluda 2. With this, I've met my goal of 10 Cave 1CCs!

The latest additions to our collection!

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!

I've never posted one of these before, but here's a preview of the game we're making. It's a bullet hell style shoot 'em up. More details coming soon

I did the thing! 1CC in DoDonPachi DaiOuJou BL. I'll post the video later 🐝

So, this happened tonight. I'll get it next time.

I finished customizing my arcade stick today. It's a Mayflash F700 with Seimitsu parts and art from Gradius. It's really fun to play on this!

Got a new personal best in DoDonPachi DaiOuJou. I can see a pixel of the final boss at the top of the screen! Does that mean I made it to the final boss? The main problem is that I didn't get 50m to get another life. I'll have to work on that. #shmup
January 25, 2025 at 1:20 AM
I've been playing DoDonPachi DaiOuJou lately, and I'm down to a 2CC so far. Progress!

Fun artwork from the Druid manual
December 14, 2024 at 5:28 PM
The full title is Druid: Kyofu no Tobira. Published for Famicom Disk System by Jaleco in 1988. Here are some screenshots

I heard there's a thing where you post a random game from your collection on Saturday. So, here's Druid for the Famicom Disk System. It's a fun little adventure reminiscent of Gauntlet.

Physical copies are more expensive, but I like how permanent they are.
