The Lacerator from @fernandotittz.bsky.social is out now!

Step into the blood-soaked shoes of 80s porn star Max and his crew as they fight to escape a deranged serial killer.

With multiple endings and branching paths, this is splatterhouse horror.

Me: 'Oh...thank you.'

Player: 'Is something?'

Me: 'Oh no no! 🤗 Just maybe don't click the mixer 💀'

i created a physics based animation system. you pretty much keyframe the target rotations of the joints and then save each pose one by one. Then just play them in a sequence

Added a demonic book spell that summons spines... I think it might need a bit of a balance pass!

In Full Bloom isn't just about being a planet-devouring Sarlacc's babysitter, it's my brain on games showcase

In Full Bloom is a Katamari-like about feeding an ever-hungry entity, which will arrive in 2026 and has a demo out now.

Biomechanoid Repair Shop is a game I've been working on, where you repair strange and mundane device-beasts in your carefully laid out workshop - until things go wrong. It's inspired by HR Giger, David Cronenberg, and Blade Runner.

=> zarkonnen.com/biomech

Pixel art mockup of a workbench with a gigeresque machine on it. There are various tools arranged around it, and the player is using a screwdriver to remove a plate from the machine.
