OUT NOW! A Tavern at Night: Firelight

Past, present, or future. What fate will the cards uncover?

After striking up conversation with a wandering terrifying mercenary in a remote tavern, he's agreed to travel together for a while before you go your separate ways.

That separation is approaching soon. To commemorate your final night together you suggest reading him his fortune; might be useful for the road ahead, right?

Except neither of you are particularly looking forward to saying goodbye..

PLAY IT HERE!

features:

♡ a cosy campfire

♡ chooseable pronouns

♡ a variety of fantasy-tarot readings

♡ multiple endings

My game Approaches just reached 5k downloads on Itch. I'm really happy with how this game turned out and am glad so many people gave this short little horror game a chance. Quite a few people did get hung up on the "puzzle", though, heh

WHAT ARE CHERUBS?!

Infographic for ELECTROBASIS! Half meant to explain more about how cherubs work, half meant as a character guide :-)

[TEXT & BONUS NOTES UNDER CUT]

[Cherubs are made of pure electricity! To ground themselves, they take up objects for their heads. Without said object to attach to, cherubs struggle to make a humanoid form and lack speech. Rather than flesh, cherubs have glowing, white "skin"*.]

[Tails can be shaped & look however! They make themselves tails instead of halos, always poking out from under their clothes. The clothes that cherubs don are both to be more familiar to humans & out of common curtesy for other beings eyes**. Object heads are found and practical, while wings are moreso manifested. They are purely aesthetic, as cherubs can't fly.***]

*Their electric skin can be stylized in different ways! Rat Room Game employees have drawn it ranging from a bright, neon yellow to a dull blue, and none are incorrect. Just interpretation

**Cherubs have no private parts that need to be shielded; only bright, blinding light

***Usually, they float behind the character. Despite being unable to fly, they can still flap em!

PSA: MAKE A PORTFOLIO

I feel like every day I see juniors posting about how they're a really amazing creative who has an excellent body of work working on cool little games, and how you should hire them because of that.

They'll mention the independent projects they've worked on by name (which only a handful of their close circle people would ever likely have heard about), and then tack on "by the way I'm looking for work and you should hire me", and then they don't provide any form of contact information or even a portfolio where anyone can learn more or take action to hire them.

I cannot stress enough: make a portfolio. You want a source you can link someone that concisely compiles the work that you have done, overviews the projects you have contributed to, and outlines the expertise you have. If you don't have a portfolio it's incredibly unlikely you will find work just shouting into the void about how good you or your work is. No one will implicitly know you, and no one can implicitly be expected to know the games you have contributed to.

Sorry like...that's just where we're at. If you want work, you need to make yourself a portfolio. You need a place where someone who might be hiring and happens to come across you can visit and say "oh I can actually view what you're talking about and it sounds like you do know what you're doing". If you don't have an avenue to do that then there's very little point in advertising yourself in the first place, because you're just making people jump through hoops to try and hire you. Make it dirt simple and as easy as possible to show off everything you've done.

People don't just make portfolios for fun; they make them because they work.

I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.

I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)

Wishlist on steam or visit the website to find out more mightymarbles.com

I've been working on a godot plugin for controlling how pixel art behaves with lighting, and I'm almost done with a really basic version! (more info under the cut)

this plugin is based on some techniques I have been developing over the years, featured most prominently in silt spawn.

it's a huge step forward though, since it requires no setup whatsoever, and it works with any normal light sources in the engine. the way it works is by generating an encoded sprite and a bespoke shader that can really quickly pick the exact color to show for each pixel based on how well-lit it is. as this gif shows, the plugin works with existing light sources and sprites, so you can really use these pixel-picky sprites as much or as little as you need!

now that the main feature is done, all I need to do is finish the UI in the editor, and then I'll feel comfortable releasing a bare-bones version of this plugin. I'm really proud of how it's coming along, and this quick little gif is just the beginning! :D
