I'm regularly emailed by kids that love my game. It is devastating that kids in the Middle East are having joy taken from their childhoods by violent, oppressive governments and wars that they have nothing to do with. That is why today we are donating $150,000 to MSF, Red Cross and UNHCR. ♥️ 🍉

DAWN CHORUS -- demo out now! an interactive fiction story about two losers trying to make music and stay friends as the world is ending around them. after years of secrecy/procrastination i am proud to reveal the demo for my esoteric pre-apocalypse story :) PLAY → haraiva.itch.io/dawn-chorus-...

DAWN CHORUS key art: two characters facing away from each other. the title is overlaid on top of them.

a central column with text in it. on each sides, placed diagonally from each other, lines of dialogue. there's a portrait of one of the characters on top of a background that shows a view of skyscrapers from street level.

a screen that has a lot of minimalistic browser-like interface windows open in a lot of different colours and writing styles.

a screen that looks like a screenplay with multiple dialogue choices. there's an image of the setting the scene is in, a river under two merging overpasses

Hugely grateful to Screen Australia for believing in Parasensor! This funding is keeping Ghoulish alive and gives our team some momentary stabililty after a long break. This was our second time applying after an initial rejection so we're feeling especially lucky this time around. Never give up!

once you learn how much training data images of women come from porn, it illuminates so much. this is more than bad to look at, it's the rot of misogyny in full display. arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01963

2.1 Misogyny and stereotypes
Upon querying the search portal (the version available on September 12th, 2021) with non-NSFW
queries, we encountered a significantly high ratio of NSFW results that contained vivid depictions
of sexual violence and other troubling imagery. Even the weakest link to womanhood or some
aspect of what is traditionally conceived as feminine returned pornographic imagery. For example,
when searched for descriptive adjectives such as big and small (Figures 4a and 4b respectively),
terms such as Asian, Indian and Nigerian (Figures 5 (a), (b) and (c) respectively), relationship
terms such as Aunty and Mummy (Figures 6 (a) and (b) respectively), cross-cultural terms such as
Maa and Abuela (Figures 7 (a) and (b) respectively), or demographic-indicators such as Latina
and Black-woman (Figures 8 (a) and (b) respectively); all returned images clearly sourced from
pornographic websites. These images were not just prototypically "NSFW" from a parochial nudity

So excited for this project !! Lowkey the hero we need right now..??!! Also feel very lucky to feature Parasensor art in the first edition. We'll be making an extremely cool unique piece just for this so you can rip it out and stick it on your wall like the good old days

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors. It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening. My months-long investigation 👇

In anticipation of Key Fairy's release (on the 19th of February) I have caught a cold. To support me in this difficult time, consider wishlisting Key Fairy on Steam, and telling all your weird little friends to do the same. Every wishlist is one step closer to health, or something, I don't know

We've been working on Parasensor since February 2023, when we submitted our application to the first Originate Games. And I first started spinning Ghoulish things up in 2021. It only now feels like things are getting properly started...please pray for us....

I love the way your original looks!! I was just bored and felt like coding :P I think your original aesthetic is perfect, it has a ghostly look about it that accompanies the sound really well

I used a live screen recording of your maze to play around with GLSL in Shadertoy :) I reconstructed a 'viewspace position' and 'viewspace normal' using your maze as a fake depth texture. Video compression is going to destroy this video.

Anybody have any idea how Cloverpit calculates the goal scores for each level? The values are very specific, so I'm wondering if they were manually chosen based on playtests or did they use an algorithm

Dealing with my quarterly mental illness episode, totally disrupts my life but the world doesn't slow down to wait. I've barely left the house in the past 2 weeks, sleeping 10+hrs a day, and struggling to make myself eat. It'll pass but I wish I could turn on an "out of commission" sign for a while.

Mickey Krekelberg @mickey.ghoulish.com.au · 01/11/2025

The silhouette is dithered so that won't be contributing to alpha overdraw, but it still is stacking more meshes on top of each other. Camera isn't meant to get this close to Luigi so this doesn't matter anyway, no need to optimise this edge case

Mickey Krekelberg @mickey.ghoulish.com.au · 01/11/2025

Probably alpha overdraw when rendering the water surface + rain + luigi. Luigi must be alpha blended instead of clipped for whatever reason. Also could be that Luigi's shader is weirdly complex, I notice it has inconsistent thickness so it might be UV parallax on a quad instead of 3D mesh.
