I'm making MAGETRAIN. Before that I made Crux: A Climbing Game. Cool.

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!

I’ve decided to pull off the #gamedev pivot for the ages.

You can still preorder MageTrain on the mobile app stores now - for free!

It’s my birthday today and MageTrain got just approved for pre-reg on Android. So instead if expensive presents you could just… 😉

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

How do you create an icon for your mobile game? Here’s a simple DIY method a 7-year old can use! #gamedev

Didn’t feel like working on my big project today so here’s a little prototype I made: Whack-a-zombie!

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

I first played SNAKE when I was 5 years old. Instantly realized it was missing fireballs! #gamedev

Is this thing on? Looking to connect with other #gamedev folks on here! I made the Crux games and currently working on a Snake-like mobile game with little fantasy heroes!
