Hi, my name is James Spanos.

I've coded Primordia, a game where Man is but a myth.

I've also worked on a lot of other games, most notably, Strangeland, The Cat Lady, Hob's Barrow, Until I Have You, Mages Initiation and currently Fallen Gods and Carbonflesh.

Mhmhm, i spent 54 hours on it, so pretty great !! I think it's a beautiful game!!

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 4d

46 hours in TWILIGHT PRINCESS, I can't wait to finish it, I've enjoyed every dungeon bar one which was okayish!

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

Yayy

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

That's great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it. Technically you could by running it through scummvm but not sure how well it'd run!

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

It's thematically very different. One is sci-fi the other is psychological horror. But Strangeland is a more polished experience!

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

Be aware Strangeland is vastly different from Primordia for better or for worse.

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

Yes, same team!

James Spanos @dualnames.bsky.social · 5d

That's so sweet! We're very happy for it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

My playthrough of Primordia is now done and over at my YT channel. What a damned good game. Going to have to try Wormwood's second game.

@dualnames.bsky.social you and your team did such a good job with this one. Glad to revisit it.

CARIMARA: BENEATH THE FORLORN LIMBS IS OUT NOW ON STEAM

a short horror story about ghosts, goblins and polite anxiety of asking too much.

untangle the mysteries of a "ghost problem" haunting this unwelcoming, desolate house. even if it means digging up uncomfortable truths.

For anyone wondering how I managed to say goodbye to Fia in Old Skies, a character I'd played for years, and put a huge amount of myself into: this is how we ended things.

And, Past Sally, you were absolutely right.

Primordia by Wormwood Studios is 70% off in the Steam Autumn sale!

Life has ceased. Man is but a myth. And now, even the machines have begun to fail. Primordia is a fascinating journey through a crumbling world populated by robots.

Yeah Steam and switch don't work with each other that way

Whalestork's 🐺THE NIGHT IS GREY🐺 OUT NOW @whalestorkgames.bsky.social · 15d

If you're new here you can hear me in Unavowed as Mandana, Liz in Old Skies, and some background voices in Primordia!

But the ENTIRE Wadjet Eye library is worth your time, and 70% off is nothing to sneeze at!

Finished The Last of Us 2, what a phenomenal game, my heart sunk on multiple occasions, and it took me about 24 hours total to beat it!

Crispin is the GOAT. @abegoldfarb.bsky.social is responsible for it!
