Hello! I'm a pixel artist who makes Shadowgate-style games. I made the games, Infested, and Spectacle on itch(.)io.

I also worked on #BeyondShadowgate (2024), the official sequel to the #NES cult classic, #Shadowgate, and I'm currently working on #TheUninvited2, the official sequel to #TheUninvited

In the Mines of Mythrok section, I was going to draw the art in anaglyph 3D and make puzzles around that concept, as a joke, as we were essentially demaking a VR game.

That plan quickly got shelved 'cause everyone would need 3D glasses, and it wouldn't be viable to turn on and off.

Drew Struzan made the poster for my all-time favorite film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Yeah, she was fun the redraw. I was going to make my own version, but I figured that her death grab was so iconic that I might as well just trace the original 💀

I was wondering about that!
I didn't get far in Shadowgate VR: The Mines Of Mythrok. Should pick it up again but I'm not a fan of the spiders, even with the "Silly Spider" mode turned on.
I mapped the game on VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas, as seen here:

In #BeyondShadowgate The "Gangster Skull" death screen is a reference to the title screen for Deja Vu on the NES, while the Wraith death screen is a reference to a production photo of a ghost from Raiders of the Lost Ark

Bãhubali: The Epic, the film that will be combining the brilliant Talugu films, Bãhubali: The Beginning, and Bãhubali 2: The Conclusion, is getting a wider international theatrical release, but more importantly, a proper physical blu-ray, so I can get rid of these DVDs with THE worst spines ever 😆

The box art for Beyond Shadowgate [2024] was drawn by the late, great Stephen Peringer.

He was the artist who gave us the iconic box art for the NES ports of Shadowgate and Deja Vu, among MANY other game covers.

He sadly passed away last year, but his legacy lives on through his legenday art.

This time around, #TheUninvited2 will be in #16-bit and feature a full screen display and a view window 2 1/2x larger than in previous #Shadowgate -style #NESventure #PointAndClickAdventure games.

It will also take place in the mid-90s, a decade (give or take) after the events of the first game.

And thank you for the awesome website and giving our game the love it deserves
