I wrote a post-mortem for Extraneum, to celebrate its first anniversary. I go over how it started, how development went, what went right and wrong, and what I have planned for the future.

Extraneum Post-Mortem, one year later
It’s been one year since I released Extraneum, so I figured I’d write a post-mortem to explain my process, what went right and wrong, and as a mean to reflect on my own experience. How it started...

In other news, something sweet and tasty is on the horizon...

We've been beta-testing Saccharine a bit more in prep for a 2.0 commercial release!

In the meantime... Boxart mockups are still cool, right?

Hello folks, Sanya here, lead dev and fork maintainer for Griddle, our inhouse fork for our games.

In light of recent happenings with GZDoom, we will be basing upstream using UZDoom and not GZDoom.

Relentless Frontier runs off of its own engine fork, RFGriddle. We haven't used stock GZDoom in a very long time. Didn't want the fate of our game tied to certain unstable elements.

...Why am I bringing this up now? Bah, no reason!

How to draw Mala Petaka NPC/Enemy sprites without wasting too much time:
❌️ Using genAI
✅️ Don't give them feet, so I don't need to draw more frames for their walking animation
