I'm making MAGETRAIN. Before that I made Crux: A Climbing Game. Cool.
My new desktop-companion game IDLEWOOD OUTPOST has a #Steam page!
Check it out - but only if you’re into tiny fantasy heroes that guard your desktop, train, work or just complain about the weather.

I made a desktop pet game on @itch.io where a group of heroes patrols your task bar. And yes you can also play in the browser ;)
Check it out if you liked Rusty’s Retirement, Tiny Pasture, etc!

Given the tariff situation I need to raise prices on MageTrain by 1,000,000%. So the new price is… $0.00!
lmk if you need that converted to your local currency.

Times are polarized enough but… do you prefer gesture controls or onscreen buttons when gaming on your phone?

What started as a weekend project (let’s try and rebuild NimbleQuest) has turned into a game in it’s own right. All it took was a year of nights and weekends 😅
MageTrain is launching in 5 days on iOS and Android!

Experimenting with logo ideas: Probably too busy this one but I like the direction. Trailer is also more or less in the bag!

Little end screen for my game. Characters you didn’t use in a run will be blacked out.
Also maybe if you tap them they’ll tell you about their run? “I died 7 times, can we work on that pls?” #gamedev
