And one of them bears a cover where he nervously stands behind a Roman column for moral support.
The cover of "The Dream of Rome" by Boris Johnson. It features the man himself, peeking out from behind a white Roman column with a weird little half-smile like he's nervous about asking you out, or like he's stalking someone while imagining the "meet-cute" he will eventually engineer with them once he has learned their daily routine inside and out.

I was so disappointed
A screenshot from Breath of the Wild. Link is riding a deer and trying to register at the stable and the stable master is saying "We only board horses here, stranger. No exceptions", because he's a terrible person who nobody loves.

New devlog! I talk a bit about changing up my conversation parser for Alice is Dead, and figuring out how to structure my tilesets for The Five Words of Power.

A screenshot of a test map I've built with the current Five Words of Power assets. The bottom half of the screenshot is a dirt/mud ground, and to the upper left is a cliff showing various variations of the corners and such of the cliff. On the top of the cliff is some more mud and some grass that is a sickly yellow-green. At the top right is the edge of a building or room made of blue-purple brick walls and a blue-purple rock floor.

Weekend devlog!

I kind of ramble about a "dual tile" system for nicer edges in tile maps with fewer tiles, and some other miscellaneous stuff from the week.

A screenshot from an auto-tiling system I'm working on for The Five Words of Power. It's some random blobs of dirt and grass, with edging showing between them correctly. Screenshot was taken in the Godot edtior.

Back in March I released a game, "Escape From Evil Island". It's a love-letter to old DOS platformers, and I finally made a trailer!

If you'd like to get the game (for free/pay-what-you-want!) you can check it out at speveril.itch.io/evil-island #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I also try to write up some weekly blog posts about the projects I'm working on. This week, I wrote about the new demo for Alice is Dead, and also about a new project, The Five Words of Power.

A screenshot of Alice is Dead. The screen is mostly dark, with a spot light shining from above highlighting a stick, a rag, and a lighter sitting on a stone floor. At the top right of the screen, the game UI indicates that this room is '???'.
