I'm a few days late but it's been a year since Scrongly released! It feels like so long ago. I remember the day I set it to go live on Steam I thought I'd want to stare at the screen refreshing for hours. Instead I went for a bike ride and got rid of some of the anxiety. Still swimming.

Replayed through Final Fantasy X over the last couple months. I love the story, and the way it's told. Every character feels so unique. Perfect pacing. 10/10.

I want my next game to have a higher fidelity UI. To that end, I've been learning blender and substance painter. I'm proud of how this turned out!

There is something really special about that scene

I hit a big milestone in my my latest project, a completely rewritten from the ground up version of Scrongly! Got it set up on Steam and had a friend play it last night!

Hot dog, I beat Prison Escape Simulator: Dig Out in one session. Super half baked and imbalanced. The game crashed during the final sequence for me and I lost a bunch of progress, but was so far ahead I got it back very fast. Fun for what it is.

Just built a sick-ass Wizard Tower in Tower Wizard. I love this new generation of high quality incremental games

Just played through the Age of Ulstryx campaign in Wildermyth, and I loved it! Great mechanics, writing, and progression. Got surprisingly attached to several characters in my party. It was a little easy. Love the artwork and music!

Just finished up a playthrough of Little Big Adventure 2, one of my all time favorite games, another 10 / 10 for me. It's the most charming game I've ever played. I love the visuals, the animations are so delightful. It's so colorful and the voice acting is superb.

Just rolled credits on Blue Prince, and wow! I could not put it down. Beautiful game, loved the style and music. The mechanics are second to none. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. A new game to add to my short list of 10 out of 10's.

A screenshot of the stats page for day 23 of Blue Prince, the day I finished the game. It boasts 21 excavated dig spots, 4 shop rooms, 41 total rooms, 87 steps taken, and 13 items found.

Just finished up The Last of Us Part 2 and really liked it! Both 1 and 2 had a great beginning, but I think I'll remember 1's ending better than 2's. Both of their middlegames felt padded but the encounter design in 2 was better, so that was more enjoyable to get through

Tried out Schedule 1, and enjoyed the experience! After a while I felt like I'd seen what I wanted to and just left it. Makes me wonder how one really ends (?) a game like this. Is it always just a case of playing until you get bored of it? Seems unsatisfying, curious about the future of this genre

Just finished up Tower of Kalemonvo. It really grew on me as I played, and kept getting better as it went. Kited a lot of demons with my crossbow. Great game and thanks for the experience @kalemonvo.bsky.social

Lived out my dream in Gas Station Simulator. I kind of see the appeal of these simulator games. A bunch of minigames that by the time they feel tedious, can be automated and moved on to the next ones, combined with number go bigger progression. Kind of like a hi-fi incremental game.
