My last update for 2025:
- Tactical grid system (normal + multi attacks)
- It was quite a fulfilling year: many tiny steps, many rewrites, and plenty of “almost there” moments. I didn’t finish everything I wanted, but the core idea is nearly locked in.
- To 2026!

Dev update:
- punchier hit VFX
- layering/masking fixes;
- ongoing progress in boss fight dev
- better enemy visibility in tree-heavy areas

Oh no, it's the unbearable Interdimensional Karen: a floating head that pops in, blocks your view & demands “to talk to the manager!”. Hilarious yet infuriating, still deciding if she stays or gets yeeted back to her own dimension. #gamedev

Between interviews and life events, I finally pinned down the menu revamp! Sleeker UI, easier visual tweaks, and a hefty "under the hood" rewrite. Graphics/UI will still evolve, but now I’m shifting to fresh level challenges, new hazards & objectives beyond enemy mobs. Onward!

life hijacked my last 3 weeks, but I’m back in Godot 4 and knee-deep in 3D modeling the next biome. Update-bits soon again.

Just wrapped up my @reactvienna.com talk! My threejs live demo glitched 😅, so I recorded a quick recap starring my shader sidekick, GobGob—this time the ending actually renders. (A few shader effects are not shown in the video, but you’ll get the idea!)

The cover might fool you, but inside is an unexpected mystery. Every time I thought the story had revealed everything, it kept unfolding with more twists. In true Japanese fashion, it dives deep into details, here, picture composition...and only comes together at the final pages.
