Indeed! Paradoxically, I find a speed and agility in solo development. When the team is large, the wheels are slow to turn. And weirdly, a bigger team needs a bigger scope to make it worthwhile, and there's a vanishing point where those factors balance out.

My boomer shooter metroidvania got copyright claimed by the people who own the DOOM ip, lol! I girlbossed a little to close to the sun with that old name... The game is now called Evil Moon: Unspoken, with a brand new logo and a re-instated steam page.
Evil Moon screenshot. Silencia the nun is inside a gibbet cage elevator. A green crystal bug walks in the foreground.
Previously known as MOON DOOM.

I don't necessarily think the OoT remake is for nostalgia and Zelda old-heads. My sister got on the Zelda train with BotW, and she's super excited to finally get to see what this legendary Ocarina is all about.

Alruna; now in wide-screen! A different kind of Metroidvania, a tour-de-force of game design, with world-class temples and dungeons. Dead men yearn for Heaven, but Elysium remains out of their grasp.

if you, like me, are tired of souls-like death mechanics sneaking into your metroidvanias or gbc zelda style games, I highly recommend checking out Alruna: End of History and Isle of Reveries! both of them are completely free of losing currency on death, it's just back to the last save point!

Look, I am very aware that Moon Doom has a lot more in common with Quake than Doom. 😅 But I can't *say* that! Because nobody knows what "Quake" is. Even Quake itself is a doom-clone, so there you go!

Alruna 3 is in development! It's called No Man's Land.
Key art for Alruna No Man's Land. Alruna, a flower nymph, is crouching down in front of war propaganda. She's wearing a soldier's helmet and has a rifle over her shoulder. Her leaves have become autumn brown.

A few months have passed since the Alruna release. The game reviewers and speedrunners have done their things long ago. By now we're starting to get chill, causal playthroughs by people just enjoying the game, and I'm very happy to see how well everything works out!
