We just put out a patch for Project Absentia on Steam that fixes two issues with E2M1 and E2M6 (and a typo in the credits). We also added sliders for the flashing effects when you pick up an item/get damaged/have a powerup. itch build will follow soon.

Bobby Prince has passed away. His music was a big inspiration to us and was, and will still be, listened on repeat through the late nights as we continue to make games. Rock on in the heavens, Bobby. -SanyaWaffles

Project Absentia is so good. Sometimes all you need is a bunch of bad guys and a boatload of rocket launchers. I gotta figure out how to configure UDB for it so I can make some custom levels...

Now that Project Absentia has fully come out, here's a fanart piece I did of its main character, Abby, brandishing her favorite weapon and the starting tommygun. 💁🏻‍♀️🥖

Abby from Project Absentia: a tall, powerful figure with glowing wings, standing stall in a wide-legged stance, aiming a tommygun forward with one hand and brandishing a hoagie in the other, with a bite taken out of it. She's grinning in the glow of weapon fire. Behind her is a nighttime cityscape with skyscrapers with some windows glowing, and a pale moon overhead.

Abby is being hugged by Aurora, while Scootaloo and Sanya are aside her. A cake with a bunch of candles is in front of Abby.

Cool Absentia Fact's: @jamespaddock.bsky.social voices the Chimaera enemy in the upcoming Episode 2. This art piece is based on a Doom meme, you hopefully know the one. #flashart #indiedev

Abby talking to a Chimaera that's laying flat on the floor. Abby is saying "You good?" and the Chimaera is responding, face down, going "No."

Remember the Rayman 3 ad with the urinals and innuendo? Waffle Iron Studios remembers! #indiedev #flash #animate #vectorart #lgbtqgamedev #retrofps #boomershooter #magazinead #uzdoom

A magazine ad. Phoenix, Abby and Baphomet are all at urinals. Abby is looking back at the viewer with a smug face, while Baphomet and Phoenix look at awe at her... um... big package. Above Abby's head is "She's Packing So Much Heat". A description of the game and a bunch of logos and screenshots describing/showcasing the game is shown around the artwork.

Project Absentia is done with QA. We're gonna be announcing news soon about our plans for release. In the meantime, have Abby crying at an empty pizza box.

Abby from Project Absentia, on her knees, crying openly at the fact her pizza box is empty - just a single crust and the little plastic "table" put in the middle of it remain.

"I've broken Phoenix's House. I'm going to the Alegheiri Device XD" - Abby Sanya decided to redraw that one scene from The Grand Tour where James May breaks Stalin's house. You know the one. #indiedev #flashart #lgbtqart #thegrandtour #topgear #redraw

A picture of Sasha, Sanya and Abby standing around laughing worryingly at the fact Abby broke Phoenix's house by removing a wall panel she thought was a drawer in the wall, while a questionable Phoenix Plush sits in the corner on a table. This is a redraw of a scene from The Grand Tour, the successor to Clarkson/Hammond/May's tenure at Top Gear, where James May broke a panel in Stalin's house in a similar fashion.

Therapist: Atari 400/800 Abby isn't gonna hurt you, she's not real Atari 400/800 Abby:

Abby from our game Project Absentia being chased by man eating plants (who are very hungry), and various flavours of Orkanpol.

The artwork is a homage to the Atari 400/800 port of Pac-Man's boxart.
