All right, pretty much the 1.0 functionality of ManaWriter is DONE. I need to finish doing the themes, test it a bunch, and then it's ready to roll. Probably in a week or two.

Depending on how well it sells, I'll roll out extra features next year, like having a pet in your little pixel house

huh, @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social helped me brainstorm and we came up with ManaWriter...and I think that's it! ManaWriter seems to fit. What do you think?

I'm almost done with my quick and dirty project. What is this? Well! It's a focus wordprocessor thingy, but made to look & play like an SNES RPG.

Yes, write a novel in an RPG.

Basically, imagine if Nintendo saw the Alphasmart Neo & thought to combine it with a GBA

doot doot doo. Those fancy schmancy freewrites too pricey for you? But you still want a writerdeck? And you love SNES games?

Why not have a virtual one. Still a WIP. I may be insane.

doot doot doo. I can do multiplayer with gamepads connected and it works, but I'm on my work computer far away from my gamepads.

Anyway, closer and closer it crawls...

this is my goth gauntlet game, Raising Hell! And yes, I'm still working on my Hammer horror inspired Curse the Blood of Dracula!
November 7, 2025 at 6:58 PM
It's a reading the classics kind of morning
November 7, 2025 at 12:53 PM
why do I love this so much

yum
November 4, 2025 at 8:53 PM
toying around with a goth gauntlet game idea...will be using stock art I got at some point to cut down on dev time. This will be a fun, small thing, completely unrelated to the hammer horror inspired beast that is Curse the Blood of Frankenstein
