Hi I'm trying to bring back retro games. Follow me to see more updates on what I am working on!
Wishlist Acornia of The Stars on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3572080/Acornia_Of_The_Stars/
I made these new Squirrel variants in #Acornia. They have a shield that toggles on and off every few seconds. They add bit more of a timing aspect to the homing attack.

Just finished making new capsule art for #Steam for #Acornia. I really like how it turned out and think it has a really #retro feel.

The Catapults are almost fully operational. Auri can use this catapult to launch himself to new planets at the end of each level in #Acornia!

Its attack of the flying squirells in #Acornia.
I made these new enemies yesterday, they still need a bit of work but I am liking how they are turning out so far!

Just finished creating a new catapult in #blender.
This catapult will be the new level end point in #Acornia and launch them off to each new world.

Just finished the prototype of a new level for #Acornia.
I tried out a bunch of new tools for making this level including #materialmaker and #Godot 's grid mapping tool.

Looking at one of my levels for #Acornia from a totally vertical point of view gave me a whole new perspective to its level design. Anyone else get this feeling? #leveldesign #gamedev

Added some cool new speed boosts to #Acornia. I really enjoyed how easy I've have made developing new features after a big #refactor in my project.

Just added in a new model for Auri in #acornia. It has all new animations!
August 8, 2025 at 9:48 PM
In an effort to make #Acornia feel even more #retro. All animations are done by manipulating the transforms of the individual body parts in engine instead of using any sort of rig.

Since #LudumDare is starting very soon I wanted to show of one of my favorite old entries. Can You Out Run It? Was part of LudumDare 50 and had you play as an jetpacker desperately running away from a rising pool of lava. I made it solo and it was my first time doing music at all.

My spawn points in #Acornia have a cylinder that points in the direction that the player should face when respawning.
I love making useful but really simple tools like this, it makes design so much easier than just values.

Just wanted to show off a screenshot of one of my favorite old projects! Cactus Shootout Reloaded is a #multiplayer #VR game where you play as a cactus stuck in place that can doge side to side and shoot up to 8 other cacti in a wild dueling environment.

Working on a concept for the hub world for #Acornia
The idea is that its a chunk of his home world that has been blown away.
