it's easy coming up with unique mechanics, the hard part is coming up with a compelling fantasy that would make people give you a second glance.

another Topdown Stealth game?🙄

you're a mom that's trying to eat her favourite snacks without your kids asking for all of it?? 🧐

thread of game concepts that I've worked on that keep me up at night on how I should revisit them.

first one is Vault-former, this one went viral for me, but it left me uninspired

been using chromatic aberration as an alternative to screenshakes by just offsetting the RGB values towards a set direction and distance which just gets lerped back.

feel like it achieves a similar feeling of intensity without taking away visiblity too much?

thoughts? #gamedev

still surprised how chromatic aberration ended up working as a alternative to screenshakes in my projects as of late.

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now.

Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains.

Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.
