🔮 We need your help (again)!

We’re working on an abandoned 3D chat mall for Desktop Explorer and one of the stores is… a Magic Store 🪄 But we don’t have a name yet.

T-one day until you all get to meet our characters and their stories and their cool mechs. we hope you'll love it.

Captain Heathcliff has shiny black hair and a thin mustache and goatee. His baseball-style t-shirt is cut open at the neckline, revealing a bit of his chest. He wears glasses. His hand is on his hip. The text reads "1 day until launch. Battle Suit Aces. October 7th, 2025."

One of the most useful tools we built to manage the massive number of illustrations in Battle Suit Aces was the art production sheet.

We update it from the editor so we have in-game usage info and it pulls thumbnails from git. And then direction notes and progress tracking happens here.

have you all seen Brigid today? now you have 😺🤖

super proud of our game within a game (within a game??) that happens when you're in the starball arc of battle suit aces and you're playing a ballgame in the form of a card battle with mechs in a vibrant narrative visual novel with rich characters

In response to the blatant corruption in our country, I felt inspired to create a new enemy called a capitalist creature. They carry briefcases and throw bills that do 1 damage to the player.
