The worst part of this time of year is when you die on New Year's Eve right before the save point, and have to start your run from all the way back on January 1st.

I made a dvd logo screensaver simulator! It's almost the same, except it can't hit corners, and there's a built-in dead pixel. Because fuck you.

Trying out a shine effect for newly acquired or upgraded cards. Still not sure what I think of it. Any thoughts?

Added some more stuff to my simple deckbuilder defense game prototype. Slow projectiles, big enemies, some animations, some keyboard controls...

Finally gave in and made a super simple prototype in two hours of a concept that's been bopping around in my head for a few months.

Basically it's a Vampire Survivors deckbuilder. You play cards to attack waves of incoming enemies.

Been silent for a little bit. Working on stuff that's not too exciting to show -- polishing up small things and fixing bugs. Preparing for a public playtest on Steam! I'll post here when it's ready.
