What do you mean stealing isn't a knighthood virtue?

Thanks for the showcase! I am working on Knight George, a classic Game Boy-styled A-RPG, with one object allowing you to control small animals to solve puzzles and reach new places.

I am still aiming at 2026 release for it, here's the itch page: linky439.itch.io/knight-george

It showcases one of the game's dungeons, with the player using their sword at a bee-like enemy. Spikes, fans repeling the player and quicksands are present in the room. Screenshot of Knight George. It showcases a boss fight against a giant ghost skull wearing a crown. Screenshot of Knight George. It showcases a fake-3D race sequence with steam-powered machines. The player runs in 10th place out of 12 after 14 seconds of racing.

Halloween was yesterday, but you won't say no to some ghost will you?

This is Knighthood Trial, where aspiring knights used to come to prove their worth. Now all that is left is the ghosts of knights of a bygone era...

Another update, as the end of the year draws near... but so is the 180th emblem!

The only missions left are the 4th and 5th of most Sonic and Shadow stages, alongside the 5th mission of Cannon's Core.
Oh, and the final boss rush as well (not the one I'm looking forward to the most tbh).
Screenshot of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. End results screen of the 4th mission of Final Rush with Sonic, awarding me with an A-Rank for 13 440 points. Screenshot of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Showcasing my 166th emblem out of 180.

Couldn't have Halloween without a little visit to good old Pumpkin Hill...

Last weekend was the 58th Ludum Dare, so my friend and I worked on a browser game named "Save The Ocean"!

Clean up the lagoon by picking up floating trash and dashing through other animals to free them from garbage!

Play here: linky439.itch.io/save-the-ocean

#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev
Screenshot of "Save The Ocean", a pixel art game. It displays the player, a whale shark, in a bright blue lagoon with rocks and seaweeds. A turtle with a 6-pack holder is swimming underneath it, and a plastic bag is floating. The heart counter is displayed as an healthbar in the top-left corner, and the trash counter is in the bottom-left one. Screenshot of "Save The Ocean". The inventory screen, named the "Trashadex", displaying the different types of trash already collected as well as a short description to emphasize the impact of said trash on the ocean.

October already... I hoped to get more drawings ready in advance but in the end I only started one before today, so I think I'll mostly do small sketches like this for this year's @linktober.bsky.social ^^

I do have a few bigger pieces in mind that I'll keep on drawing after october.

#1 Knight
Drawing of the Kakariko Village's guard in Zelda Ocarina of Time in a chibi style. He is wearing the Keaton Mask, a yellow fox mask, and is using his spear to prevent a chicken from going any further. The chicken looks at the guard.

I'm as "okay" as The Land Before Time on the GBA.

Just reached the credits roll in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound! A great throwback to the 80's and 90's with a delightful gameplay. The game isn't a cake walk but is never unfair, and of course, it is one of the most gorgeous game I have ever seen.

Not surprising considering it's from @thegamekitchen.com.

Kenji, the main character, is hanging from a ceilling in some sort of cave, with a waterfall taking all the background space. Kenji is currently slicing a demon.

Who's ready to go racing like it's 1989?

The player is located at the south of the graves, at the end of a paved path between two bushes. At the back, large pine trees block the view. Screenshot of Knight George.

Can't walk on water with that heavy armor of yours?

No problem. Use your boat instead!

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

(Could have gone with Queen's "Innuendo" as well)

As I am working on the newest Knight George demo version, I don't have a lot of flashy new stuff to show...

So just have this extract of the game's first dungeon! Reptiles attack you, and you need to get a hang of the Catacable to jump those pits!

If you see this, post something monochromatic!

Well, not like I have a game in development that is nothing but monochromatic! 😄

Not a lot shiny new stuff in Knight George to show for this #screenshotsaturday, so have the outside of the Earlyne Olympiad!

5 minigames with 3 difficulty levels each, all with their own score "board" and records to beat! Rewards await the one who manages to break them all...

I finally implemented a feature in Knight George I had planned several years ago: displaying different gamepad icons depending on the one you choose in the options!

The 3 main console pads are there, plus a generic one for any other gamepad.

Here, have a little peek at my side project: a retro-styled RPG using an ATB system. All built in Game Maker from the ground up!

The tileset and the magic effects are placeholders, I needed a playable build for June as a birthday gift for my best friend, but we'll be working on improving it!

Work on Knight George has resumed, with for instance a refinement of the inventory and quest objects screen!

Much clearer and spaced out than before, here's a peek at what kind of stuff you'll find in the game!
