!! ANNOUNCEMENT !! HYPERFIGHT 2 will be officially released in Early Access on October 12! If you've never heard of it before, it's my brand-new take on 2D fighting games described by some as "Smash Bros meets Guilty Gear". Rollback included! #gamedev #indiegame #fgc

Been binging the Rhythm Heaven series after finishing Groove. I forget that sometimes, when a game is good you're excited to jump back in and keep playing it, simple as.

I'm not a solo dev, but more than 95% of the game was made by me. Absolutely no AI was used in the process of creating HF2, and I'd argue its online features and UX are as good or better than some recent fighting game releases.

Fun fact - after exhibiting last weekend, Yona and Kero were the most popular characters by far! If 2 people sat down at least one of them were picked. Wonder how it'll shift as more characters are added.

I feel the weight of wanting my game to be successful heavily, but the weight of wanting it to be good is much heavier

I thought I liked fighting games, but maybe I just like the arcade era in general. I find I really dig the flashy, creative presentation that games back then were kinda forced to have.

The grind to get the demo done in the past month was one of the most exhausting periods of my life. So glad the release went smoothly and people seem to be really enjoying it. Gotta get back to it in a bit, but I'll relax this weekend a little longer.
