It's finally coming!!
On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!!
It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight.
Please look forward to it!!

The Game Club's Cheat Code for Community - Guy Blomberg and Shay P Leighton | grokludo 16
Guy Blomberg and Shay Leighton have started a book club. It's called The Game Club, because it's not really about books, it's about games. But it's not really about games – it's about friends. With…

I think this is my trailer maker equivalent of complaining how nothing has really eliminated the drudgery of cleaning toilets and sink drains

Given all the fancy wasteful ai video tech out there it amazes me that there hasn't been anything practical done like multiple-ending video files that branch based on global time. E.g. making one trailer that can say "out now!" Or "coming soon" at the end, but baked into the video file

Hey y'all, I'm trying to survive the last few months of development on 500 Cal, so I'm looking for work. I can do character models, UI, logos, character design, cover art, music videos, consulting, whatever the hell you need. Dm me or email at [email protected]

I think I'll forever have a soft-spot for Analgesic Productions' games. No two are alike mechanically or even thematically, but they have a shared dreamlike feel to them. Fragmented worlds, strange prose and the *feel* of what videogames are below the surface.
Their next, Angeline Era, drops soon.

We make adventures with experimental twists on classic gameplay, and worlds with unforgettable atmospheres and stories.

This sounds cool! I'd like to explore some of these games, all the stuff this one is doing with the timer seems cool

marinas art direction for all our games has always been (as the young gamers say) 'cracked', painterly, detail-oriented and, aware of naturalistic lighting and color compositions, so i'm excited to see the player response since this game has the most popular appeal yet! 15 days to Bump Slash..
Marina's art direction for Angeline Era is AMAZING!!! We hope it will serve as an inspiration for game developers and artists for generations to come!! Definitely one of 2025's best looking action adventure games⚔️(and coming out dec. 8!!)

out of all the steam store updates this year i think allowing 60fps mp4s on store pages is by far the biggest godsend. prior to 2025 everyone had to learn dark arts of gif compression and even then they still looked like ass because of the dithering
Made a fresh new clip for the Angeline Era store page... 16 days till BUMPSLASH!

It's really interesting to compare this experience to playing modern streamlined DQs. There's of course just having a much stronger mental map of the game, but it's fun to see the map slowly fill in and also keep track of clues and where you found them, especially in a sprawling game like DQ2

It's super useful! Especially with how open ended dq2, now that I got a ship it pretty much seems open ended

I've been hand mapping DQ2's overworld and it has a nice relaxing jigsaw puzzle quality to it (and is helpful for playing the game). Kind of funny that there's reverse south America with its tip next to Florida.
..Anyways if you're a writer/streamer and want a review code for Angeline era DM me!

Going for an all-levels run on Han-Tani's Challenge (or the level below .. Melos's Trick) is like an exquisite course meal of weird bumpslash action. Every enemy comes into focus in a really sharp way, it's kind of like "close listening" to an album or really looking up close at a painting
This will be our first game with achievements with an unholy level of difficulty... and a numbered hall of fame like Xanadu lol

Yeah I loved that they showed all those past-selves of the female character at the end. And then the post credits designs...makes me want to go look at some high fashion photobooks, and read some more fss

What did you think....the theater was so silent at the end LMAO I felt like the fss to xenogears to gothicmade loop has gone full circle with that final words on screen section. Sound design in the Mecha section was so cool tho and the sekaikan makes me wanna make Spiritual Mecha games ...

I always quit my playthroughs immediately at a little before the slog point (which I learned Nintendo forced retro to add to pad out the game). Also did you know the devs wanted autechre to do the OST lol
