During those nightmarish moments, everything appears distorted, and severe dizziness follows.
It's something that happens every single time.

Blackhill's downtown, as seen in one of the protagonist's visions that appears to take place late at night. The streets are blurry and distorted, light works in strange ways, and people appear translucent. Several buildings are in disrepair and roads are closed for repairs, forcing detours through places like a desolate park to the left.

Part 1 (Continues in Reply) | Items and Equipment Showcase for demo. Instead of the traditional chest, magic mason jars that hold items much larger than the jars volume are widely used! Vacuum sealed and magic fogged up for privacy. #rm2k3 #screenshotsaturaday #rpgmaker #pixelart #gamedev #masonjar

That one private high school in Blackhill?
Some people like to say it's hell on earth.

[1/2] Some of the characters you'll see in 'Precognition'.
#rpgmaker #mv #indie #game #development #precognition
Descriptions for the first three characters. Jennifer Conner, senior student at Whitefields High. Cursed with precognitive nightmares and life's tragedies, she aims to save an innocent soul from a terrible fate. " I'm sure they would call me crazy. They'd say I'm a damned, heartless liar. " Megan Allen, senior student at HIRUNDO RUSTICA High School. This exceptional problem-solver found herself caught in a situation that challenges everything she believes in. " You're my friend, of course I'm worried. Please, be honest with me. " Marcia Hopkins, part-time stock clerk at Savers Marketplace. Through her determination, wishes, and knowledge of "the missing one", she may be the key to solving this mystery. " Moving here was hard, but it was the best thing for my family. And my future career, I guess. "

I released my game, **Into the Evernight**, on Steam today. It is 100% free!

It's a tactical RPG with branching storypaths. The setting is dark, but the tone is fairly sarcastic. If that sounds like your type of jam, it's available here:

One of the places seen during the visions.
There has to be a way to find its location...

#rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #precognition
Screenshot of a basement that appears abandoned and cluttered. The old brick walls are full of holes and cracks. Boxes and trash are scattered everywhere. It seems the rooms were unused for a long time before falling into disrepair. Two inflatable beds lie in the room to the left. A shadowy figure roams around.

And this was the last feature I can think off.
So it's safe to say I'm finished my project, right?
...No, you're not, there's bug hunting await after all 😭

The group's favorite place to hang out: Rocco's house!
Even though some of them moved away from East Beach City, they still hope to reunite and stay in touch for many years to come.

#rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #precognition
Rocco's house at night. The group of seven friends is hanging out, planning what to do on this special occasion. Alec is walking toward the bathroom, Dani is looking for snacks in the kitchen, Gabi and Marcia are talking at the table next to Rocco and Zoe, and Amber is heading to the door to receive some deliveries.

The Pitied/Warriors Across Worlds @thepitied.bsky.social · Sep 7
Warriors this, Warriors that. I’ve gone through most of what WAW is about, so let’s take a trip to the past and discuss the game that got everything started: The Pitied.

This episode is a simple introduction, but there is a LOT to go through.

Hahah I'm too used to the autoshadows at this point so I didn't notice 😅

I'll remove them next time I go through that scene.

One of the party members in our first game (download at entangledpear.itch.io/fairy-tales for free!) is Barbara. She's loosely based on a literary figure, so no wonder she sometimes quotes Shakespeare. Like Hamlet, Act III, Scene III, Line 87:

#gaming #indiegame #freegame #retroRPG
A screenshot from a retro-style role-playing game. It shows a room in an inn, with stairs going up and down at the top, shelves with bottles, and tables and chairs. The party members - Paul, Barbara and Adele - are standing next to one of the tables. A text window at the bottom shows the portrait of Barbara and the text "No."

Eavesdropping? An excellent idea.
In a small town like this, news and rumors are everywhere for you to hear.

Screenshot of a morning. Three students, skipping class, are talking in a park. One of them, zoned out and indifferent, says: "Forget about that, you're on your own."

Finally and formally announcing POPIRORAI, the 1bit game I'm submitting to a Spanish speaking RPG Maker jam!! It'll be available with a demo next Monday 🥳

This may be my most weird game yet, but I'm pretty proud of the end result!

Most of the time, you'll be allowed to explore many places and buildings around the town. Who knows what you'll learn, or who you'll find out there !

#rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #precognition
Screenshot of a stationery store. The owner, Linda Burrows (Jennifer's aunt) is talking to her. "Megan? Hmm, yeah. She made me open the store early cause she needed some stuff for that science fair. She just left a little while ago, I think." The store is filled with books, supplies, boxes and stationery. Two customers are seeing what to buy, and Linda's daughter Erika is helping organize stuff.
