I LOVE ZEXION!

Since OEHOD will require about 100 unique characters I have decided to take a stab at procedural modeling. [Left: 5 hand-modeled prototype characters] [Middle: Geometry Nodes: Powerful but mysterious (to me)] [Right: A base mesh from which I'm learning to generate variations]. Challenging but fun!

I find Zelda-style overworlds -- even ones early in development -- very satisfying to see come together, especially with wonderful pixel art. I wonder how much more this will change before release... There are already so many differences between the demo & playtest versions.

My most personal game to date, a sleek n' sneaky little 2.5D "Thief-like" with nine lovingly handcrafted missions.

Lack of quicksaves turned some away, but it's a fair game. Give it a try if you like stealth and noir. There is a free demo! #Filcher #ImmersiveSim

Filcher is a first-person 2.5D noir stealth game. As Sporey the master thief, break into guarded buildings to steal from the wealthy and corrupt, using only your senses, your wits, and a handful of to...

Filcher, by solo dev @johanhjarpe.bsky.social, is a fun spiritual successor to the classic Thief Series. If you can get it at the right price, it's well worth it. Full review below.

Sunday will be the day! If you're an 'EXPLORER' or above you'll get a DM from me on Kickstarter with your Steam code. In the meantime, please enjoy this portable flamethrower 🦉 #indiegame #gamedev

Messing around with enemies/props processing some code every few frames rather than every frame, for optimization reasons. Ended up with this interesting bug, where all enemy actions basically take ages to run thru, but the player can move as normal!

Zexion features tons of different assist options to fine tune the difficulty of the game, should you need to. Lot's of different damage settings, and even Save States! So almost anyone should be able to play it. Doesn't prevent achievements either.

Posted this because someone on Kickstarter asked for an update. The June update post is coming in a few days. Will be showing off some cool before/after screens featuring some beautiful new stuff from @ciscoraglandjr.bsky.social, and the Township OST
The expanded demo for Kickstarter backers is more or less done. It's a decent slice of the overworld, a handful of quests, collectibles, and the second dungeon! Backers will get it this month.

I'm going to plug this game here too. This is a fantastic Metroid style game. If you're wanting something like NES Metroid where the action is harder and faster paced, I cannot recommend this enough. I got three bosses in and knew this game is ultimate.
Trailer for my epic upcoming action-adventure Zexion!
Slightly abridged and remixed for Bluesky. Wishlist it at store.steampowered.com/app/3392510/...!

Ahead of April Fools, I'd like to suggest a couple of ground rules pertaining to video game developers.

Rule #1: If you announce a joke game, you have to actually make and release it, even if just on a small scale.

Rule #2: No "joke Dating Sims". Get new material!

Okay, gotten to the end of this one. Spectacular game. After you get the double-jump it opens up HUGELY and there's so many objectives and bosses you can tackle in any order.

And that finale... Goddamn! I really want to see this one sell, and for Gallant Leaf to make more games. This is their FIRST
Mentioned it a few times before but giving one more shout-out to Zexion, which is great.

Like a mix of classic NES metroid (space adventure explorey collectathon), Contra (8-way firing, tough combat) and Mega Man (fun map and weapon gimmicks), with a built-in randomizer and lots of VERY cool bosses
