It's finally coming!!
On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!!
It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight.
Please look forward to it!!

every time I see tokyo's night skyline I can't help but 1. think of FFX Sin obliterating zanarkand and
2. feel like it's akin to some sort of complicated technology-first -believers' Mandala that is trying to reach some higher spiritual plane thru More Building and Turning Rocks Into Computer

Two weeks to Angeline Era releasing! Been nervous about the release but very happy that testers are enjoying searching for levels across its overworlds, as well as the bumpslash combat and story!

Given all the fancy wasteful ai video tech out there it amazes me that there hasn't been anything practical done like multiple-ending video files that branch based on global time. E.g. making one trailer that can say "out now!" Or "coming soon" at the end, but baked into the video file

I think I'll forever have a soft-spot for Analgesic Productions' games. No two are alike mechanically or even thematically, but they have a shared dreamlike feel to them. Fragmented worlds, strange prose and the *feel* of what videogames are below the surface.
Their next, Angeline Era, drops soon.

marinas art direction for all our games has always been (as the young gamers say) 'cracked', painterly, detail-oriented and, aware of naturalistic lighting and color compositions, so i'm excited to see the player response since this game has the most popular appeal yet! 15 days to Bump Slash..
Marina's art direction for Angeline Era is AMAZING!!! We hope it will serve as an inspiration for game developers and artists for generations to come!! Definitely one of 2025's best looking action adventure games⚔️(and coming out dec. 8!!)

out of all the steam store updates this year i think allowing 60fps mp4s on store pages is by far the biggest godsend. prior to 2025 everyone had to learn dark arts of gif compression and even then they still looked like ass because of the dithering
Made a fresh new clip for the Angeline Era store page... 16 days till BUMPSLASH!

I've been hand mapping DQ2's overworld and it has a nice relaxing jigsaw puzzle quality to it (and is helpful for playing the game). Kind of funny that there's reverse south America with its tip next to Florida.
..Anyways if you're a writer/streamer and want a review code for Angeline era DM me!

Going for an all-levels run on Han-Tani's Challenge (or the level below .. Melos's Trick) is like an exquisite course meal of weird bumpslash action. Every enemy comes into focus in a really sharp way, it's kind of like "close listening" to an album or really looking up close at a painting
This will be our first game with achievements with an unholy level of difficulty... and a numbered hall of fame like Xanadu lol

I was a judge in the Independent Games Festival again this year - here are some of my highlights from 2026. Not a "who I think's going to win" prediction, just "here's some games I think are cool!" cdrom.ca/games/2025/1...

Also, it has Bumpslash combat. The child of many a twisted 80s-00s action-adventure.. Ys 1 2 6 0 3R, light crusader, brightis, evergrace 1/2, Hydlide trilogy, brain lord, dragon view, kings field 1/2, etc...!

Our souls need to reach each other. That's the only reason to practice game design as a craft. But beware of diluting your soul. (She slept for 3 hours and is posting again)

Couldn't wait till release to share a tiny chunk of @smuggerby.bsky.social 's super cool album art for one of Angeline Era's OST volumes!! Unreal level of detail and it really captures the dark side of the game's characters. Really bumpslashed it out of the park on this one!

Finished dq1, I like the funny moments and jokes, the way a lot of it comes down to figuring out safe grinding spots in the overworld, its openness, the minimal but expressive levels, how you always start at the castle. (But .. )

I Want To Do It
With the collapse of AAA games on the horizon for is time for the Sorcerian-like to return. Give me four little guys to make stand in a tidy line and go on modular adventures to pulsing synth rock. Give me a thousand options for jobs they can take during down time. Don’t worry about if it’s “good”

I think the most mature thing famous 90s game companies could do is make space for others by ending corporatized spinoffs/remakes. pokemon...Mario... dragon quest etc. the world needs art& entertainment from new people, not brand names that have gone way past their prime
I secretly think that about ALL the “classic” franchises clogging up the cultural broadband these days.
Have they thought of not making any more Bond films
