Welcome to the Warren Family Haunted Halloween Corn Maze! Collect all of the harvest items to fill your cornucopia and unlock the exit of the maze! Have fun, and watch out for the scarecrows! Ha-ha! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3398960/MAiZE/
The game is, for most intents and purposes, done!!! I just need to do some final playtesting to catch and fix any remaining bugs, and it will be ready for release - hopefully by the end of the week if those fixes are minimal!

Sorry for the silence, been fixing bugs and focusing on getting the last level finished. Most of the last level enemies are spoilery, so this will be the last character design I will share until after the release. Scarecrow #4!!!

1/3 Been focusing on the Level 5 music and fixing bugs, so sorry for not having any new characters to share recently. The music is just about done, so will be getting back into the final level designs shortly.

1/7 Still working on the music for level 4 (almost done!), so will share some more background/lore info.
There are four classes of enemies in the game: Demons (The Hat Man, Mind Hugger), Ghosts (The Hound, The Grave Ghosts), Demidemons (Pumpkimps, Cherubs), and Wretchbounds (the Scarecrows).

1/5 I'm currently focusing on writing the 4th level music, so won't have any new character designs to share for a while, but in the meantime here's some background lore about the Grave Ghosts...

Showed off a demo of the game a few weeks ago at my local indy game dev meetup, and got a nice jump scare from the guy sitting next to me. I was so proud!😈

I don't have any sketches of the Mind-Hugger, as I just developed this one straight from my brain into Blender, but here's the backstory.
A few years back, I heard an interview on @bufferingcast.bsky.social with a medium who described several of the entities she claimed to be able to see.

Since people seemed to like my inspiration story for the Pumpkimp design, here’s another goodie, my original pencil sketch of the Pumpkimp, based off of the upside-down-and-backwards shark head.

In honor of the #jaws50thanniversary, figured I’d share this fun behind the scenes tidbit. This is one of the images that inspired my design of the Pumpkimp from MAiZE.
