For my next game I'm moving over to GameMaker 2, and so far things have been going well!

As a tip to other GMS2 Windows devs, disable audio enhancements on your audio output device in the control panel. For whatever reason this feature makes everything in-game sound like ass. The more you know 🤔

Here's a CG that didn't make it into NeverHome: Tower of Vanity. Could you guess where this was supposed to be shown?

I forgot to mention it, but yesterday I uploaded the whole NeverHome - Tower of Vanity OST to YouTube! You can take a listen here (spoilers ahead!): youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I hope people enjoy these new tracks. I'm really proud of them!

I forgot about the part where curators start sending me emails asking for review copies.

Steam devs out there, is the Steam Curator service worth it? I didn’t interface with it at all for my last game.

Hmm I think I will release my game tomorrow.

Reintroducing Delilah!

Delilah may seem lax and aloof at first glance, but she carries a fire inside that's just waiting to be unleashed. If you take her with you, she'll help make sure you can run for longer amounts of time and recover more quickly.

#indiedev #indiehorror
July 12, 2025 at 12:55 AM
Reintroducing Leo!

Leo's outgoing personality makes him easy for most to get along with, but his temper can also make him dangerous in the unpredictable world of NeverHome.

As long as he's with you, your melee attacks can do more damage and push heavier objects.

#indiedev #indiehorror

Reintroducing Peri!

Peri's always quick with a smile to brighten the mood, but she struggles against an inner turmoil. Her past is a mystery to everyone, even herself.

Bring her with you on your journey, and monsters will be less aggressive towards you.

Reintroducing Rem!

Rem's ever-present smile and verbose language mask a fiery ambition. As long as that ambition aligns with your goals, she'll be an irreplaceable friend.
While she's with you, she can even help improve the aim of some of your attacks.

June 25, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Reintroducing Callum!

Beneath that rude exterior, Callum is truly an inquisitive soul. He seems more interested in the secrets of the deadly Tower than an escape from it.
With him at your side, you'll be able to read encoded messages and find hidden items.

Reintroducing the main character, Granger!

Growing up with many responsibilities at home has made her a headstrong and hypercritical girl. Lost in the Tower of Vanity, she quietly asserts herself as the head of the search for an escape. #indiedev #IndieHorror

Quick status update on NeverHome chapter 2!

I still don't have a fully playable version, but I'm working through a lot of the smaller stuff to make sure everything works how I want it to. I want to show more, but I don't want to spoil stuff!

Here's a quick look at the new title screen :)

It’s my first day back at work in a few months! That means less time to work on game development…

Still! NeverHome’s second chapter is almost complete. Im going to try my best to have a playable build by the end of the month.
January 6, 2025 at 11:18 PM
GameMaker just sort of FORGOT all of my project’s resources???

Now I have to spend my day organizing all of my objects, rooms, and scripts… that’s what I get for running an old version 🤷‍♂️

One of my favorite small things from NeverHome Ch1 were the icons you get when you save.

I've recently made new ones for the upcoming sequel. On the left are the original ones, new ones on the right. Looking back, I think I've improved a little bit as an artist!
