Susperia (2018 version) is my go to spooky recommendation - though not quite as unseen as it was in the past. Visually beautiful too!

Quick wip preview of the campaign map for the 'The Dry' (world 2 of 6). Still lots of decorating, lighting + other bits to add. But getting there. Going to try and 'borrow 👀' the cloud/map reveal effect from Steamworld Heist 2 as well as that worked great! #shmup #pixelart #indiedev

Skies of Chaos, an example of one of the more obstacle based levels. Constant health depletion from the storm. A few visual bits to fix still, but this one’s nearly there. #shmup #gamedev #pixelart

Decided Skies of Chaos totally needs a massive airship to launch from at the start of each mission. 😅 #pixelart #shmup #gamedev #indiedev

Today’s addition, Super Monkey Ball Jr !
I was a bit worried about frame rate from some of the videos I’d seen, but at least in the early levels, it feels great! #gameboy #gameboyadvance

Currently on book 9... but 'He Who Fights With Monsters' might well be he greatest fantasy series ever written. No idea if this is a contentious statement, but it is sooo good! - plus the audiobook version is perfect 🤣

Awesome work!

The original skies of chaos was very/relatively kid friendly, but this is too fun to not add into the widescreen version! #gamedev #shmup #pixelart

Picked up a second hand Surface Go 4, absolutely love the 10inch format / size. Not sure how useful it'll be alongside my macbook pro and other tech. But probably performance for me to get back to learning my C# Players Guide book! #indiedev

I picked up Banjo Pilot for the GBA only recently - never played it when younger - it's a great kart racer, the controls are a great twist on the genre and it looks gorgeous on the gba. Definitely one of the better additions to my collection!
