The Mermaid Mask is back on -10% sale on Steam, but even better is the Detective Grimoire Series bundle: since the previous 2 games in the series are -80%, the whole bundle is nearly half price overall Over half of all TMM sales have been through this bundle! store.steampowered.com/app/1696770/...

Here's a recording of my Tiny Glade presentation from the Graphics Programming Conference 2024: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusW... It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

Hello people of Bluesky. I'm Kitt, a game artist and game designer based in the UK. Most recent projects include @botanymanor.bsky.social and The Mermaid Mask.

A screenshot from the game Botany Manor, showing a stone wall upon which a framed poster is hung. The poster is titled "Cider Apples" and features 12 illustrations of different cider apple varieties.

A screenshot from the game "The Mermaid Mask". Is shows a puzzle that consists of a rusted metal contraption with 4 glass portholes, inside which there are numbers and metal rods.

A screenshot from the game "Gibbon: Beyond the trees". It shows a human settlement in the middle of the jungle. Multi coloured gibbons are swinging from the balconies and roofs of the dwellings.

An illustration of a simplified map of the state of Arizona, laid on a colourful mat and surrounded by Arizona themed objects including postcards, a water canteen, a small cactus, some chilli peppers, pieces of turquoise, and a pine cone.
