Now that the team is back from #DHAtlanta, it is time to do a write up about the showcasing experience. Also had to write about the stats from the event along with the quite amazing tournament run.

Sorry for the bit of period of silence. Getting a big event dropped on my lap and needing to scramble to get new content for #ElemensionalRift ready in time while also extra busy with the holiday season is going to be a lot of candle burning on both ends.

Next early access build for #ElemensionalRift is now live. There are a few minor updates but the big addition is the new item, the Senzu Fan. It is a seemingly innocent looking item that creates a lot of complex mind games with foes. #FGC #indiedev

Time for more #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift. The new item, the Senzu Fan, has a hidden bonus effect. If it is hit with a wind-elemental attack, it will gain a speed bonus to throw off opponents' response to it. #indiedev #pixelart

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...
some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

Friendly reminder to leave reviews on the indie games you play🫡 in the past two weeks, we saw the releases of The Skeletons Are Fighting, Parable Academy and Heatwave. With less than 10 reviews, they are kept out of the Steam discovery queue. If you enjoyed them, leave a mark!

story mode is separated into 42 chapters, but you don't have to read them all in order, most of the time, you'll have multiple chapters to choose from, based on what you've read so far :)

Today is the release of the first commercial game made with Castagne: Parable Academy by @snuffysam.bsky.social !

It's a 3v3 tag fighter with simple controls where you play as pop culture icons such as Alice or Gatzby!

If you like fighting games with both strong offensive and defensive options, assists, and multiple fighting styles/grooves to choose from, you should play my game when it comes out in 2 days :)

And there's a visual novel attached to it too I guess
Heatwave's last major update, will be available on NOVEMBER 12!!! It will also be releasing on steam then as well. Most notably, it will contain a ~100k word visual novel story mode, and 4 new "secret" characters, along with balance changes, and bug fixes. ❤️
