Boulder’s Gate 4 by XCVG My entry for So Bad It’s Good Jam 2025. Ostensibly, it’s a parody of Baldur’s Gate 3, but the modifier this year was “genre fakeout”, and this one has a few layers to it. I can’t really say much about this one without spoiling the twists. There will probably be… Read More: Boulder’s Gate 4 Released »
A surprise game, created for Trans Joy Jam 2025. By day, you’re a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. By night, you fight mysterious nightmares with magical powers. You’re just like any other normal magical girl, inasmuch as any magical girl can be considered normal. There’s just one elephant in the room… It’s more of a sidescroller… Read More: Starlight Nights Released »
At The Break Of Dawn is my entry to Magical Girl Game Jam 4. It is a direct sequel to my MGGJ2 entry, In The Middle Of The Night. Magical girls Gina and Sakura return in a new adventure set a few months later, facing a deadly new threat. Gameplay is similar, but streamlined and… Read More: At The Break Of Dawn Released »
2020 was… a thing. Let’s talk about what happened, what didn’t, and what’s next. I’m not going to wax rhetorical on the past year. There have been a lot of terrible and unexpected happenings and some seriously bad vibes, but this is fundamentally a project blog, and that’s what this post is about. Almost a… Read More: Final 2020 Status Update – A year in review »
An early Christmas present, or something like that! The 2020 Jam Sampler is a compilation of the games I made in 2020, all put together with a spiffy launcher and a few extras. Download it here!
The long-awaited (?!) sequel to Bang Ouch is now out! I’ve had a vague inkling of this for most of the year but I decided to finally throw it together for 7dfps 2020 and PROCJAM 2020. Bang Ouch Infinite is a first-person shooter with (nearly) infinite variation. It can be as silly or as profound… Read More: Bang Ouch Infinite Released »
In The Middle Of The Night is my entry to Magical Girl Game Jam 2. It’s not a sequel to Shattered, but it is another genre mashup, combining magical girls with gun-and-magic first person shooter gameplay and visual novel style conversations. Gina was pretty much your basic, edgy, low-key geeky, slightly gothy teenager. Now she’s… Read More: In The Middle Of The Night Released »
I know I’ve missed at least a month, probably more like two, but it’s been a hectic, confusing past few months. I think that goes for just about everyone. So what’s been happening over here? Ascension III is still kind of stalled. I’m no longer planning to work on the sometimes-mentioned Frangis vertical slice demo… Read More: Summer 2020 Status Update »
As I’d expected, June was a messy month. I managed to get a little work done on CommonCore and some miscellaneous projects, but nothing really noteworthy. I started documenting CommonCore, finally, but that’s a long and ongoing project. So Bad It’s Good Jam 2020 happened near the end of the month, and I spent a… Read More: June 2020 (Late) Status Update »
RiftBreak is my entry this year to So Bad It’s Good Jam. This is the fourth year in a row I’ve done that jam, and this year was a huge success with over 70 entries, twice as much as any other year. RiftBreak took fourth place, which I’m quite proud of considering the number of… Read More: RiftBreak Released »
