How it started // how it's going
A pristine printed copy of Enigma Heart's screenplay sitting on a desk, with only the front cover showing. It's been three-hole punched and secured with brass brads. A white 1990s computer keyboard is in the background. A ballpoint pin sits on top of the script. Next to the script is a blue mug adorned with a rainbow colored heart and the words "LOVE IS LOVE", and it's filled with coffee.The same script, open to page 81. Spoilery text has been obscured, but the page still shows numerous edits in pen. A sea of pink tabs mark the location of edits on the preceding pages.

so if I'm putting out a call for artists for hire for key art for a game, what hashtags should I use? Or do I even need hashtags on Bluesky because algorithm and boosts and whatnot? Suggestions? I'm also fighting against the fact that I only have 300 characters and I'm extremely wordy by nature lol

The player character stands on a dock, next to a long, sleek schooner with two masts and three sails.A modified screenshot, split into three time-lapse panels, showing the player executing a special offensive move: she jumps into the air, swinging her sword high above her head. She drives herself down toward the ground, eyes ablaze, with her sword pointed at the ground. When she lands, she sends out a shockwave that destroys an enemy nearby.The player is in a teal-colored temple. She's got a hand crossbow instead of her usual sword, and she's firing it at a flying enemy overhead. Behind her, a robed magician throws a fireball at her.The player character is in the same teal temple as before, but is facing down a hulking, demonic-looking enemy with horns and goat legs, swinging a spiked meteor hammer.

Alone, cold, with nothing but a locket to guide you. A mysterious city, far beyond the shores of an ominous black void. THE ACHING, an unsettling horror adventure by The Lobdegg, is 50% off now thru July 9 on Steam & itchio! 👉️ store.steampowered.com/app/2295210/... 👉️ hadrosaurus.itch.io/the-aching
Screenshot of The Aching, an low-resolution EGA adventure game. The player character steps out of a cave set into the peak of a red stone mountain. Far in the distance is a city, set in the middle of a red plain against a backdrop of mountains, far on the other side of a black void. The sky is a sickly bright green color. The game's logo, "THE ACHING", is superimposed against the sky, and the logos for Silent Shoals Software and Hadrosaurus Software are at bottom right.The player character stands inside a house made mostly of blue stone. Stone archways lead into two other rooms, and a set of stone steps leads to the second level. There is a multicolor prismatic pattern on the floor. A text box reads: "The door looks strangely featureless from here. With the dim lighting, it is difficult to see any great detail from this distance."The player is in a location called "Emerald Waterfall Spillway." As described, it's an underground cavern with a lake of bright green liquid at the bottom. A waterfall, split into two streams, spills from above into the lake. The player character is falling, presumably from a great height, their arms and legs splayed out.

Screenshots from the original DOS demo. It ran in mode 13h: 320x200 resolution, with non-square pixels, and at only 35hz -- half the VGA's native framerate of 70. It'll be fun to re-imagine for modern systems at 360p60.
Character selection screen in Acronia. Most of the text is in glowing neon green on dark green with scanlines, evoking old terminal monitors. Roslyn is the currently-selected character out of five possible playable characters: Allie, Roslyn, Dad, Harry, and Buddy. Her full-length portrait shows her standing at the ready with a shotgun.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia. It's rather chaotic, with several monsters, including one mutant and two Hopsis, running up a sloped platform toward Roslyn. There's a teleporter behind her. The level is industrial, full of yellow-and-black striped hazard tape, pipes, and diamondplate.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia, showing another player character, Allie, standing inside an office complex. There are potted plants, plush chairs, and carpets. A mutant has fired a plasma ball at Allie, and it doesn't appear she'll have enough time to duck under it.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia. Another player character, Harry, a huge, beefy man with blond hair, stands in an office complex, in the reception area. There's blood everywhere, and a dead worker slumped over their desk. There's an open closet, American flags, lamps, a checkered floor, and a bulletin board. A sign on the back wall reads "ACRONIA - Campus 12, Sengana"

After a stressful Next Fest, I've decided to take a one-week break from working on Enigma Heart, and cobble together a prototype of my next game, Acronia. Based on an old DOS prototype/demo of mine, it's a side-scrolling run 'n' gun inspired by Contra, Bio Menace, Rise of the Triad, Commander Keen.
