Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

Pulse has a trailer now! With Next Fest officially starting today, we figured we'd make a proper introduction to the game. Go play the demo!

After many days of playing I can still be surprised by a winning run. @richardboeser.bsky.social dominated the leaderboards yesterday with some unexpected path choices.

... and it was my son who figured that out. I chose a different route before. So he's the clever one.

The gold medal Pulse run yesterday (by @richardboeser.bsky.social) has a rare instance of going back up after going down a level. Very clever!

Joost you are showing your route!

But yes I saw your time and have been trying to beat it, but it is very good : )

Pulse's daily challenge consist of a different selection of checkpoints every day. Players need to figure out what is the fastest route.

Yesterday's run was fast and fun.

@richardboeser.bsky.social's gold medal run yesterday was short and slick 🚀

Our Discord bot is really good at distracting me from the work that actually needs to get done.

Demo now available on Steam:

Screenshot of some posts on Discord by our custom bot. It gives an overview at the end of the day of the final leaderboard rankings. And it sends a message every time a player takes over the top position in the current daily challenge.

Adding this to the game really helped with making sure I spend more time playing our game than working on its development.

Luckily @ajkolenc.bsky.social is hooked too, so I don't feel too guilty.

if you watch the pulse bot you can tell when other racers have discovered a better route

A very fine run!

And yes, scores count even if you crash at the last checkpoint. Our racers risk it all.

my proudest pulse moment so far 🤩

Our prototype 'Pulse' just got a big update. We now have audio, a training program and some iconic challenges.

The fillets are nice as they are subtle enough to not let the bright pink and green take over too much. And the black is smart too. Works well together.

Richard Boeser @richardboeser.bsky.social · 25d

You really put a lot of effort into the framing. I would not have thought of this option. It works very well.

Richard Boeser @richardboeser.bsky.social · 26d

Very cool. I find choosing a frame very difficult and can appreciate the effort that went into this.

madmankevin.bsky.social @madmankevin.bsky.social · 26d

This took a lot of time and effort @richardboeser.bsky.social but I'm extremely happy with the end results! Those custom ibb & obb colors took months to find. I IM'd you the lengthy process on that other site but later I might add the cliffnotes here. For now though: thank you once again for these!

I think Angry Robot is just so far away from anything you would do in a normal run. It makes it very hard to spot.

I designed a set of puzzles using Axe Ghost's mechanics. Those are now available as a bonus mode called Fragments.

I very much enjoyed making these, so why don't you all buy the game and convince Tomasz that he hires me for more.

Axe Ghost. Now with Fragments mode @axeghostgame.bsky.social · Sep 15

Axe Ghost: Fragments Update is here. It adds 21 puzzles created by @richardboeser.bsky.social, from easy to fiendish. As ever, leaving a Steam review is *very* helpful and welcome.
