Making a far future sci-fi TTRPG named Starlight Journals. Also general life updates. My game development has no "AI" elements to it. Everything is either my work or commissioned.

50. Nine Sols
And at 50 it's NINE SOLS! I'm ending on a high, Red Candle's masterpiece, I cannot recommend it highly enough, the Sekiro inspired combat is immensely good, the bosses are some of the best I've seen, it's hitting on Hollow Knight level of good, and the story and writing are top tier.

38. Cultic
They just came out with Chapter 2, so get on this. It is one of the best retro FPS titles by far, it's steeped in 80's horror movie sensibilities, it's bloody and brutal, and there's a crunchy grodiness to the visuals that add this grindhouse feel to it. And my god, that soundtrack!

I don't think this one gets as much praise as it deserves, a gruelling Survival Horror set in the trenches of WWI, and aschews the supernatural for the very real and tangible horrors of war, it's got that sort of top down oblique perspective like Signalis. Real god damn good.

Trust me on this, the game is positively genius. It's a detective game steeped in Irish history and mythology, and it is one of the most curious and fascinating games I've perhaps ever had the pleasure of playing. Might be up there with Obra Dinn, it's that good.

Still gotta finish this one, but picked up Captain Wayne on a whim the other week, and had a blast with it so far. You play a pirate captain with a shotgun arm, it's got an aesthetic I can only describe as MS Paint One Piece, which is glorious! Fun game, must return to it.
