A few years ago I made a little game for Halloween, and I've got it on sale for a few dollars now. Play a pumpkin man visiting the mortal world to rent Jurassic Park from the video store, and getting minorly embroiled in a Witch's curse: itch.io/s/166371/hal...

Tombwater is feels like a great challenge to play through!... as long as you never level up, help, how do I balance a game 😭 Game designers, did anybody just like, solve XP and damage numbers with a formula and write it in a book anywhere? I really have no idea where to start

I drew some new trees! A second big piece of Tombwater news is incoming this week as well, pretty excited for it : )

My game Ocean's Heart is on sale for under $5 - if you're into exploration-forward Zeldalikes in pretty nature, pixel art, or maybe pirates, check it out. I made the whole thing myself. t.co/QTTUOQCQFT

A while ago, I was experimenting with foggy depth effects in 2D. I'm pretty happy with where it landed, but it does require a lot of bespoke, gradient-covered tiles.

Some screenshots from my game Ocean's Heart. The new game, Tombwater, has been a lot of brown dusty landscape so far, I'm getting impatient to add in more diverse landscapes like Ocean's Heart has.

I'm Max, I'm currently working on a Wild West / Eldritch Horror game. It's like Bloodborne but yee-haw but Zelda too!
