After about 1.5 years in development, my game "May and the Amazing Bouquet" can now be wishlisted on Steam!

This is my first real game, and I'm so excited it's gotten to this point! 🥲

Thank you to everyone who's followed and supported so far!

When is this scene? I'm surprised it's not in a phone call. She's literally blocking the door? 🤔

This game will feature a sans-fish fishing minigame. Throw the hook, then steer it past obstacles by moving left and right (just like in real life! /s). Hook a truffle & reel it in!

The more optimal your upward reeling, the more you'll earn!

Can't deviate much from the AVGN source while on the road to release, so in my spare time I've been throwing together something with what I've built for that.

TO ANSWER:
1) It's for fun, so keep your "yOU sHOULD cHANGE tHIS" to yourself
2) Literal no pressure weekend thing.

Hi #gamedev!
Starless Umbra is a co-op JRPG inspired by Xenoblade Chronicles / Secret of Mana / Super Mario RPG, developed in my spare time. This started as a hobby RPG Maker project developed from 2002-2013, and rebooted in #gamemaker in 2020. Pleased to meet you!

Those targets are friggin ruthless with all the teleporting 🤣 but at least they're memorizable patterns

Haha.

Rumor has it they skipped 9 because lots of older programs would check if the OS name was "Windows 9*" (ie, 95, 98) for various compatibility things.

And an OS just called "Windows 9" would also inadvertently pass those checks and cause unwanted behavior. 🤷

Oh wow this is unexpected. A color mod of "The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls" is one of my dream mods. ❤️ Such an excellent but also forgotten Nintendo gem...

Absolutely loving my current dev environment. Working hard to finish this, believe it or not. I hope it'll be worth all the delays.

Work on the fishing minigame for #MayGame has begun.

Very much still in the experimentation stage. But I think a side-scroller is the direction to go. Gameplay will be focused more on navigating the depths rather than a tug-of-war/timing game.

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamedesign

An in-progress screenshot of a fishing minigame. It is a side-scroller perspective. A pink girl stands near the top of the screen, with trees behind her. A shoreline below here stretches across the screen. Beneath her, we see a large body of water stretching down. Water currents and rocks are scattered throughout it, and a bobble/hook is in the middle of it.
