Solus Ascending, a 2D point and click adventure game set in the only building left standing in the world due to the Earth's sea levels rising, that's ran by an oppressive government.

Journey through different floors, finding out just how much they have lied to everyone!
Fun fact: If you watch #startrek Discovery in it's entirety you will hear the word "burn" via the name Burnham or "the burn" approximately 7389 times.

With any luck, an ICE agent will shoot dead a fellow ICE agent off the clock in regular attire that triggers an internal ICE war and they all kill each other on a battlefield

In my last game, you could right click to have the character look at things and comment on them. It was never required to complete the game but you'd miss a lot of gags. And I saw some people on YouTube playing the game and despite being informed you can, they never once looked at anything.. 😭

Using 3D renders means having close up screens with minimal effort (says the guy who took hours to put this together). Does this look like fun to play?

Trump called Scott Adams a "fantastic guy" so that's all I need to know about his legacy.

I love how the TMNT background doesn't use that many colours yet is really striking and easy on the eyes, saved the image for future reference on how to pull this off should I ever do another comedy game!
Hey #portfolioday
I've been a professional illustrator for 25 years, and a professional game artist and animator for 16. There's nothing I can't do in high-res 2D and pixelart. Hire me!

I bought this CD single for 10p based on the cover. It's some euro dance and he does some rapping with a woman singing the chorus and I.. like it??

Today I have incorporated a double click to walk faster feature and right click on an exit to immediately go there function.

Future players will thank me, I'm sure!

Thanks for reminding me! Lamplight City is a bloomin' great game guvnor! What's not as good but pretty damn funny is Detective Boiled-Hard that's also in the Detective Fest sale for a really cheap price!

Making multiple scenes and being unable to share any of them because it will spoil my game's story 😅

If your phone supports it, there is a cable adapter as pictured that allows you to plug in wired headphones.

Taking a leaf out of #ResidentEvil 's room transitions to save myself doing individual lift animations for every scene involving a lift! #pointandclick #adventuregame

Hopefully this is quite snappy and not a pain to wait through when changing floors?

I got these games for local co-op with the wife, although Trinity Trigger requires you to play it in single player for a few hours before a second player can join which is a bit ridiculous.

It's my girlfriend's 50th birthday today and although we are together almost 24/7 so I can't secretly make her anything (😅), her friend drew her this wonderful Stardew Valley drawing!

Years ago I took pictures of these two films, I think it's 2009's Star Trek and Nemesis, one went overkill with the lights and the other forgot to use any
