It's come to my attention that it is Raccoon day, and I can't imagine the wrath I would face from the Trash God himself if we did not pay proper respects. All hail the lord of trash and his raccoon form.

Summon a blood clot homunculus, shield yourself in gore, and fling a poison swamp at the self-righteous server rack.
Turn-based combat has never made more sense. #indiedev #pixelart #screamfest

Back from the void. The Watcher's Curse dev logs resume. Hollow Veil isn't going to document itself, and apparently neither is this game's development. Steam Scream Fest in October. Demo's live if you're into cosmic horror detective work and gods with questionable hygiene.

Mostly been focusing on music for the next village/zone and i think all the demo tracks are done for now. It's been a nice break from coding, but its time to start building again :)

Are episodic releases still viable in today's market? The Watchers Curse has a format that works in that release structure, but not sure if it requires being a known brand to succeed at it at this point e.g. deltarune or telltale

It's the last day of holiday vacation for the Poubelle household, and back to reality tomorrow. It's been a wildly #gamedev productive and relaxing few weeks. See you all in capitalist servitude in the morning!

Some nights are new features and others are chasing a focus bug that occurs ~40% of the time when a controller and keyboard are both connected 👻 at least it's almost entirely fixed now

Taking a break from QA to work on #gameaudio for the new zone, Mourning Fields. With the last few passes at zone tracks, the sound pallet is starting to lock in.
