How about a visual novel where you can choose the sex of the protagonist?

Five million of time capsules from total strangers ready to be opened. Amazing stuff 🤯
“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.”

Just finished writing the first half of my next game, and it's time to move into the visual part.

I've been dwelling on this idea of making a short visual novel for years, and now I've finally come to this point of my life where I'm both technically and emotionally ready to do so.

My entry to this year's #GMTKJam made it to the top 2% (among 9600+ games?!) at the "Narrative" category! Pretty cool.

"Life Loop" is a game where you can control the loop of life. You can finish it under 5 min on your browser. Feel free to play! Link below:

Taking part in this year's #GMTKJam as well! (3 years in a row)

"Loop" is a great theme that is easy to fit but hard to stand out.

This time it has a new dedicated "narrative" score so I'll probably try to make a narrative-focused entry. Gonna sleep now and start the jam tomorrow morning!

To my surprise, Noah's Dilemma sold almost the same copies on Switch as it did on Steam on the first day, while I promoted the hell out of it only for the Steam release.

It seems: Steam is too crowded for small games to get noticed, but Switch still guarantees decent explosure for every game.

Found two freezing bugs in Noah's Dilemma's current Switch version but because Nintendo will need to review every build, I can't get the updated version out to players as soon as I fixed them like that with Steam.

Now I understand why I need a "support" section on my website. On it!

Lately I've been reading Berserk (manga). The manga itself is interesting enough, and plus, I feel like I'm reading some behind the scenes content of souls games as well. Very intriguing to see how Miyazaki incorporates those inspirations into his games.

My new game sold so poorly that it is about to force me to start a YouTube channel. It’s time to tell people why the hell did I make a Noah’s Ark roguelike.

Not being able to get on "New and Trending" on Steam means most of the sales will come from word of mouth and it'd be very difficult to get to even 50 reviews. But hey, we've got 20 already with 95% positive! It's worth celebrating.

If you bought and like the game, please consider leaving a review!
