Another monkey making small indie games. I combine surreal horror with odd gameplay mechanics.

Screw my dignity.
"Captain Poweryarn: The Juegazo" is now released on Itch, and 100% for the #halloween sale.
apehardware.itch.io/flesh-shark-...
A messy Unreal game that takes mascot horror and turns it into a surreal, unrecognizable thing.

After all the issues I had with Odiumfloreo post-release, I've been thinking all of the constant gameplay switch-ups I put on my larger games aren't worth the effort.
So I made this small point-and-click thing to test out a simpler approach:

"Odiumfloreo": a physics-based sit-n-survive.
It began with the incredibly dumb idea of mixing FNaF with Enviro-bear 2000, and spiraled into a abstract body horror nightmare that takes physics-based mechanics and does all sort of weird shit with them.

Fun fact: Odiumfloreo originally was a scrapped concept for a fangame that mixed FNaF and Enviro-bear 2000 of all things.

Forgot to post it here, but Odiumfloreo got a few upgrades before release in the form of minigames. 3 of them, 5 levels each, all centered around physics-based nonsense.

Aiming for a Halloween release. The new version will have brand new mechanics and a new "point-and-click" section to expand the jam version's almost non-existent plot.

Took part on the #GMTK game jam.
The theme was "loop" so I made "IMMORTAL JELLYFISH WITH GUNS", a bullet hell shooter in which the character loops through different forms with an unique attack each.

An engine made by a million-dolar company and it decides to not fucking load menu buttons on the exported build.
I needed a break so I reworked an old game I was disappointed with, Terminal Veil. New mechanics, new plot, new levels.
And I'm finally happy with it.

I'm thinking of telling the instructions and plot using diagrams, sorta like SCP-2521. ¿What game mechanics do you think these pictures are trying to explain?

Trying to get back at doing pre-rendered visuals so I don't have to rely on stock images for everything.
This was done entirely with Blender (and some GIMP filters), no photo textures. Haven't touched this kind of style since my FNaF fangame era (...vietnam flashbacks...).

This is still happening, I'm just really slow with Unreal (and I fucking hope to never see it again after I complete the course) and I'd rather do stuff with Godot.
Needles to say, the "mascot horror" element is going to be a satire of how the genre has become an excuse to sell crappy content.

New game jam project out now: "T: (M, E, A)", a turn-based game in which actions are determined by coordinates on a board.
Featuring a short, vague and definitely apolitical plot about a native Siberian shaman fighting invading mechanical biblical orthodox angels.

Instead of shooting the bosses, you have to mark the points of a randomly-generated rune to damage them.
