Updated the #pelicanempyrean Steam demo today.

The most requested thing was a way to view all cards in the deck.

I didn't want to spoil too much by showing what cards will arrive in your hand next, so this new View Deck mode shows the cards in random order.

Might be interesting to game devs that Pelican Empyrean all takes place within a single Unity scene.

I need to be on the ball when it comes to tracking the variables to reset between play sessions, but the upshot is that the build time is crazily fast - currently ~20secs

The Pelican Empyrean demo is out now for #SteamNextFest !

A magical cooking roguelike card game with a heart of gold.

It's about an aging pelican who wants to lighten his beak by giving back to the world by way of cooking delicious meals.

Pax or it didn’t happen!

#paxaus is all done and dusted for another year. Awesome array of games and, as usual, the #indiegames were the star for me. Aus and New Zealand are blazing and there’s no shortage of up and coming new talent!

First day of #paxaus has been fun and hectic. The diversity of #indiegames, both in tone and genre, is massive!
Here’s my picks so far:
L8R Sk8R - a speed running 3rd person skating game with sort of PS1 era graphics. A bit like a non-violent Neon White. Tight controls and very fun to play!

Reading this excellent book at the moment - Universal Play. Highly recommend it if you’re interested in a positive look at (and de-stigmatizing of) the relationship between games and mental health.

Getting back into some music making with some new #teenageengineering gear!

And it will all tie back in to gamedev I promise!

We've had another player 100% After Light Fades!

Here's what they said:
"I think the emergent complexity arising from the objects and mechanisms makes this a truly excellent Sokoban game. The philosophical story and serene atmosphere were also great, and it was really fun!"

Our map-maker desktop app is coming soon to Itch!

Fast and fluid map creation. Great for whatever your 2D tiled-based needs are - metroidvanias, platformers, semi-handmade roguelikes etc.

Exports directly to JSON so you import your maps into the engine of your choice

I'm just finishing up a minimalist flow-chart desktop app for game devs.

Perfect for mapping out point and click adventure puzzles, unlockable skill trees, a powerup-to-unlockable-area flowchart for a metroidvania or whatever high-level plans your game needs

More on it soon!

Friendly reminder to anyone who's been having a good time with After Light Fades, we'd love to hear about your experiences in a Steam review

We've only had a few so far, so every one goes a long way. Even a few sentence is a huge help!

Now that my game’s out I finally have some time to dive back into some research and “sharpen the saw” a bit
