Our exorcism roguelite Malys is coming OUT of Early Access into 1.0 on the 24th of October!

There's so much more to discover, including the FULL story as penned by David Gaider, more demons, more cards, and more content.

Oh wow, it has officially been TEN YEARS since we founded what has now become @tasgamemakers.com 🤯

I’m quite emotional, thinking about how just on Wednesday night we had ~30 people show up to an impromptu midweek meet up at a new venue, representing a broad swathe of experience levels and opinions

Legend has it he's still waiting for the numbers to come in

Dual tilegrid is set up and working nicely, thank you @jesscodes.bsky.social!

Also discovered that #Godot has that property painting mode for tilesets?? Absolutely mind blowing how easy it was to add custom movement speed on a per-tile basis 🤯

Lil Astronaut is walking around!

(Not pictured) me figuring out #Godot spritesheets, animations, blend trees and tilemaps.

I think I prefer Godot's animation stuff over Unity? They feel fairly similar, each with their own gotchas

Coming from 7 years of #Unity and slowly exploring #Godot it's mind blowing to me how easy and intuitive this sprite animation workflow is
