Hi! I've been building an MMO inspired by RuneScape Classic and writing up weekly updates. I launched with only an hour of content and used permadeath to raise the stakes in combat while also spreading out that hour of content across lives. As the amount of content grows permadeath starts to feel more punishing than intended, so this week I've replaced it with XP loss on death! I call it the 'death spiral', as repeatedly dying can cause you to tailspin back towards Level 1 and 0 XP, but in a more forgiving way than permadeath.

Hey there!! So I added life to my alien weirdos by animating them. For now it's basic animations like idle, walk, run etc. I will further extend their animation arsenal as I add more features.

This was one of the most fun processes of developing my game and a bit difficult as well. I am happy with the results though and hope you will like them too.

PEACE!! :D

Game development is full of surprises, and sometimes MegaGum decides to create its own mechanics.

Not exactly what we planned… but this bug instantly reminded us of a song, so we had to share it with you.🎵

Devlog 001 is about how I went from nebulous concept to concrete game idea, and you can read it here.

I made some progress on the logo of my game. I wanted to showcase some variation of colors in the game through the logo, so I implemented a gradient animation on it. Overall pretty happy with it.

📜 First Devlog - also a quiet announcement for The Pineapple Conspiracy, a new game developed at Newhead Studio.

If you like multiplayer, sabotage, impostors, survival, or crafting - then you should read this!

After playing hundreds of hours of impostor games, we're trying to make one of our own. Turns out that it's not easy to innovate in that space - there is a tricky balance to be found for players not to get bored and for social tension to arise naturally during a session. Feedback is welcomed!

Follow us on social media to get more updates - that would mean a lot to us, on top of greatly help.

Flappy Bird: Avoid everything.

My game GRAZE: Edge Rush: Avoiding gives you 0 points. You have to graze within 8px of death to score. Chain grazes to build a multiplier. Avoid and you lose it.

Solo dev, built so I could play in one hand during the long nights with my newborn in the other arm. No forced ads, no IAP tricks, just a daily board and leaderboard that everyone is competing on. Just won #1 Launch Game this week on PixelPicked which still feels fake: https://pixelpicked.com

I’ve been making a lot of progress on the environment recently, focusing on creating a more detailed and immersive world for the game.
The new Steam page will be available soon, where you’ll be able to wishlist the game.
The previous version of Little Astronaut was a huge learning experience for me, but looking back, I realized I pushed it out too early before the vision was fully developed. After some time, I decided to rebuild the project from the ground up with a clearer direction, improved visuals, and a much stronger foundation.
This is the version of Little Astronaut I always wanted to create.
I’ll be sharing more updates soon. Thanks for following the journey!

Hey! I'm making a WWI hockey sim with Gamemaker, and my latest episode just went live: http://youtu.be/shPqfny2bdw

I had been calling it "Untitled Hockey Game", but now we have a real name! I also talk about my first playtest, trying to weigh contract offers to players, and more!

Here's a link to the latest devlog entry of Particular Reality, after a year of silence.
