I'm hosting the #ScreenshotSaturday for RBT this week, and I'm happy to announce that Harold In: Worlds Apart, made for RBT's Harold Jam 2025, is now complete! Play through 9 Levels and 3 Bosses of intense platforming and stop the world being torn apart.

#ScreenshotSaturday once more. Me and @frostnoble.bsky.social have been continuing work on our Harold Jam entry. Here's a couple previews of what we've been doing this week.

Did you know every level in this game is named after a popular #RPGMaker title? Bet you can't guess them...

A battle atop a train. A giant worm is travelling through a rift in space, allowing it to seemingly teleport.

A factory. The player hovers precariously over conveyor belts moving spiky wooden boxes at speed.

A black and white sewer. A red slime is about to attack the player character.

The interior of an elevator shaft. An electric wisp monster is about to attack the player character.

This #screenshotsaturday I'm working with @frostnoble.bsky.social on our entry to Harold Jam 2025, a gamejam hosted by RBT celebrating every RPGMaker dev's favourite little guy.

Harold - a red-haired knight - and Marsha - a rose-haired magician - are sat in a train. A textbox shows harold is speaking. It says: "Ugh. I'm gonna kill myself."

Harold - a red-haired knight stands in a grassy area next to some tall buildings. above him is a rift in space. He is surrounded by rabbit knights with swords.

Marsha - a rose-haired magician - is in a dark red forest. She's stood on a platform suspended above a pit of brambles by vines. In front of her is an exceedingly fat hedgehog in mid-air.

Harold - a red-haired knight - and Marsha - a rose-haired magician - are sat in a train. Between them stands Priscilla, a brown-haired female warrior. She's speaking. Her text reads "Marsha! Hey!"

#VagrantShifter
A mysterious door sits before you, and a pedestal with six slots...

Oh god is this one of those damn "puzzle" thingies? Doesn't the developer know people hate those?

In #VagrantShifter, bars will allow you to exchange meal tickets for various food options, which will permanently upgrade your stats. The system isn't quite done yet but the visual components are all there.
#rpgmaker #jrpg #screenshotsaturday

A game screenshot depicting a bar menu with various food options, which read as follows:

6x Onion Rings, with stick.
Chicken Burger, with chips and boneslaw.
BEEF! With chips and beef.
Caesar Wrap, without betrayal.
Spicy Chilli, without mercy.
Werewolf Energy, flavours: fruity / beefy.

To the right is an image of the Spicy chilli, with further flavour text reading: "Not recommended for children or people who use sunscreen in overcast weather."

#ScreenshotSaturday Life before and after getting an animal.

#VagrantShifter #RPGMaker

An image showing a photograph. A red humanoid figure stands in the centre, and appears to have been startled by the flash of the camera. It's stood on some kind of solid grey platform in space.

Another photograph, this one also shows the red figure, no longer startled. This time it's stood in a field of ash, and there's a thick fog in the background.

Another photo. This time in a woodlands, with the ruins of an old castle strewn about, the red figure stands looking up at it's newfound beaver companion, whom has built itself a platform to stand on for the photo. The platform is far too tall and only the bottom half of the beaver is visible.

Another photo, this time in some underground waterway. The beaver is incredibly close to the camera and out of focus, while the red figure is leaning to the side to try and be visible within the shot.

#VagrantShifter has a bar. Several of them. Here's the first one.
You'll be able to get permanent stat upgrades in here (once I make the inside)

The image shows a bar called "The Traveler" sat on the edge of a cliff. The lower floor is purple with black windows, and the upper floor is made of plaster. There's an old man sat out the front by some trash bins.

In #VagrantShifter, you can equip Badges, with different passive effects. Of course every effect needs a visual flair to indicate that it's working. There's 3 active in this video, can you tell what they are?

Meet Lucian, one of many shopkeepers you'll come across in #VagrantShifter. A friendly adventurer who sells on the relics he collects to anyone who might be able to use them.
I'm very proud of how he, and the general shop UI turned out.

Top 1 reasons to live: could see beaver one day.

Screenshot of a news article
The headline reads: "Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries"
Subheading reads: "Exclusive: Government to grant nature groups a licence for release of rodent species after earlier setbacks"

First post of 2025!
I've begun work on the enemies for the current area.
The ruins of the park are home to many strange creatures...
(Also, a brand new battle background!)

my save before and after reading the entirety of ONISM (out loud, with friends, so it's probably at least a *little* faster for normal reading)

A screenshot showing 2 save files
The first with a time of 1 Hour, 49 Minutes, and 48 Seconds.
The second with a time of 2 Hours, 33 Minutes, and 19 Seconds.

Been working on a minigame for #VagrantShifter this past week or two, inspired by Sonic special stages. It's not quite finished yet but its nearly there.
