Justice is accurate, but personally I would describe myself with more determination and less kindness. And I would not say I have any patience lmao

WIP game for the #FightingGameAprilJam2026 Everything looks a bit terrible. Some of it looks terrible in a good way because it's meant to look like an old fighting game, but the character sprites and stage look a bit terrible in the bad way unfortunately. Don't think I'll be able to fix it tho

Okay so I'm experimenting with adding meter to Blades. The idea is that combos will be rated based on their "Style", like in DMC which will have a whole bunch of factors that go into it. As you gain style points, they'll directly contribute to your meter.

Work in progress style rating for combos inspired by Devil May Cry and ULTRAKILL. Sorry my game is running in slow motion, my laptop was kinda lagging from recording and too many YouTube tabs 😭

I've been seeing some hitbox visualization images for various games online so I decided to make a tool to generate them. This might be useful for the wiki later on.

Just wanted to give a quick followup: This new UI and engine rework update is out. The only stage currently available is the training stage unfortunately, but I'll be working soon to add some new ones and generally improve the game experience and add more content.

Owen CMYK (Blades of Crossed Hearts dev) @owencmyk.xyz · 26/02/2026

Also, the new update is reworking the engine and UI to use to same pixel scaling as in-game, and the game is going to be fully 2D going forward.

Working on an in-game feedback form so people don't have to open a Google Form in their browser. It also goes straight to a private channel on my Discord so it's super convenient

I don't know much about star signs but this would make a super cool summoning circle for a video game.

Hey, if you're reading this and I've unfollowed you very recently. I just wanna say it's nothing personal, I've just been seeing a lot of stuff about the raids in the US recently and it's starting to stress me out so I'm trying to remove that kinda stuff from my feed. >.<

For my new followers, I'm developing a fighting game called Blades of Crossed Hearts that aims to combine a multiplayer 2D fighter with a DMC-inspired character action single player. The campaign mode hasn't been added yet but if you want to try the versus or arcade mode there's a demo on Steam now

Owen CMYK (Blades of Crossed Hearts dev) @owencmyk.xyz · 19/05/2025

Mipmapping will be added in the next Blades update. Essentially this makes UI elements smoother and less jagged and should make text way easier to read.

Owen CMYK (Blades of Crossed Hearts dev) @owencmyk.xyz · 16/05/2025

There are now indicators for directional specials that show how to perform them. The burst indicator is also incorporated into this UI.

Next time you're ordering on amazon, add this to your checkout: a.co/d/7bNhjGS Follow the instructions on the back, then add it to a bowl with fries and shredded mozzarella. Words cannot describe how peak this tastes.

This is an utterly INSANE thing to wake up to.

I HAVE to repost this, this is hilariously awesome

It's so crazy that Sol Badguy and Saul Goodman are two different characters from different IPs that have nothing to do with each other

Cyanide and Mercury voiced by Kaeruchan and Sean Madson. Awesome work from both of them, these voicelines sound awesome

I finally got around to using the command line tools for Steam and Itch for Blades. So now every time I build the game it'll automatically upload the newest updates. (which also means the itch version isn't gonna be neglected anymore yayyy)

New parry / auto guard rework coming soon to #BladesOfCrossedHearts. The auto guard is being replaced with a Smash Bros counter type move as a universal mechanic. I think it's a lot more interesting and more balanced than how auto-guard worked before.

People in general need to realize that real life is often boring, and in almost every case it's much more important to make an immersive game that *feels* realistic rather than one that actually is realistic.

Early player vs enemy prototype. This is Peter, he's my placeholder stickman until I figure out what the enemy designs are gonna be

New menu update. Still gotta work on the stage select and movelist a bit, but it's coming along nicely and looks super clean.

Owen CMYK (Blades of Crossed Hearts dev) @owencmyk.xyz · 22/03/2025

Finally added the first working version of control remapping. It's only for keyboard not yet controller, and it's very scuffed but like... It's in there and I can work on improving it now #BladesOfCrossedHearts

I just watched my friend finish Death Stranding. Why does the game need 7 different credits sequences? Also from the first credits rolling to the end of the game was like... almost 2 hours.

Finally got a good idea of what I want the world of Blades of Crossed Hearts to look / feel like, and I finally got a proper workflow for making new stages. Hoping I can add more soon and really start to flesh out the world. Here's a WIP

Whoever came up with the term "Supermoon" is metal as fuck. Last October when I found out there was a "Hunter's Super Moon" I was just like "THERE'S A FUCKING WHAT????"
