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.

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!

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!

“He sure kills a lot of orcs, but is he just… throwing birds at them?”

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

Walking through flames of our own making. I mean in my little mobile game here. Obviously.

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