We ended up in England for a wedding, the november status report will be a week late and obviously I can't patch any bugs right now. But here's some pumpkins we made 2 years ago, Happy Halloween everyone!

I think I stumbled upon a really interesting way to create animations. Dabbled a bit with it as a improved visual for the Apostles teleport.

Feel free to weigh in what you think of the animation!

I've received some feedback about the boss fight and fixed a few bugs, so hopefully it will be less punishing if you fail to dodge an attack now. Pushed the patch to Itch.io!

Thank you for reporting the bugs people!

It's time to get spooky!

I pushed an update to the game to Itch.io.

This is not the full demo, but will most likely be one of the last patches before the demo is ready. Please do check it out and drop your feedback on it! 🎃💀

My girlfriend and I have an annual tradition to carve pumpkins and then have a reveal afterwards.

Here's this year's harvest, hope you all have a good spookymonth! 🎃

I cleaned up the graphics a bit for the relic "Revenant" which spawns homing exploding skulls whenever you take damage. I found the old version to be too big.

Feedback welcome!

Spooky season is almost upon us, and I figured Throne of Marrow desperately needed some Halloween haunts.

I'm planning to have a few seasonal decorations strewn about, but also a few permanent passive and active items based around it!

Morning everyone! I am on the hunt for YouTubers and Streamers who are interested in soulslike, games like Lunacid or Kings Field, RPGs and Metroidvanias!

The Life Blood demo releases next Wednesday and we would love to share around anyone who wants to do a bit of streaming the game! ✨

Still a few loose ends to take care of. But after that I will publish a test version over on Itch.io. This is not the full DEMO however, that is still in development, but I wanted to get a more up to date version out for y'all!

Still very much a work in progress. But I am pretty sure this is the final "layout" of the boss room.

Also the floors might not always be under your feet, exclamation marks temporary to show when they become unstable. Stay alert!

Currently working on the very first cutscene for Throne of Marrow, which is the boss introduction. Also got around to playtesting some new attacks!

I was updating the text for interactable objects so it makes text less blurry overall, and decided to give the entrance/exits some love. So now there's some nice god rays spilling out of them!

Currently working on the monthly Patreon post, got delayed due to studies.

In the meantime I hit 200 followers. So here's some relics behind the scenes.

Skadi's Pendant, Revenant and Sands of Fate. Explanation below!

A bit chilly outside today, don't ya think? Or maybe it's just my aura.

Doing some extensive testing of the passive items, dubbed "Relics" for Throne of Marrow today.

I can happily report that it's a ton of fun creating overpowered builds.

No rest for the wicked. Unless my voice is wicked because I managed to get the flu and am having constant coughing fits.

Really wanted to have a video out showcasing all the new progress in Throne of Marrow, but it will have to wait!

Finally got all the bugs squashed, couldn't for the life of me understand why my map was choppy when scrolling around. Then I found out that my game ran at a whopping 1 fps while paused.

Sometimes my genius is almost frightening.

The Wetlands twist and turn like a living maze. Hippos carry you through flooded paths, and each bend holds a surprise, sometimes playful, sometimes puzzling. 🦛

Do you trust the hippos ;)?

Taking a break from coding by having a picnic date by the sea. Of course the trusty notebook is with me in case of any sudden ideas! 🌞

I seem to have gotten a lot of followers the past few days and I can't quite fathom why. But I wanted to just say thanks for stopping by, we will be back to the regularly scheduled content soon.

In the meantime have some pixel art!
