We just crossed 10,000 wishlists for Way of Madness. That number is crazy to us.

And while we keep shaping Way of Madness, don’t forget we’re also working on Silent Fangs: Stealthy Vampire’s Tale our PSX style hack and slash game.

We’ll have more to show soon.

And my other game is

Way of Madness

1- Fully Hand Drawn Game
2- It's a Survival Horror but in 2D
3- Since we draw each scene by hand the monsters are creepy af.

It will be also in Next Fest. Wishlists are welcome.

1- Can bite people as a vampire
2- Parkours which you can glide and use grappling hook
3- Medieval world for you to explore.

We will be in Next Fest so wishlist it to help us :')

4- Last but not least even though prices are cheap the fact that most of the devices works in the 100v means it’s not going to work in EU.

Baha Tan Oral @bahatan.bsky.social · Jul 29

3- Even in the biggest stores, 2. Hand thrift shops there are nothing related to the from software, konami brands. Most of the things can be found around related to nothing but nintendo.

Baha Tan Oral @bahatan.bsky.social · Jul 29

2- Beauty of the public toilets.

Baha Tan Oral @bahatan.bsky.social · Jul 29

I was in Japan for a while, and here are some of the things I kept finding interesting.

1- How big are the crowns.

Once I started building my portfolio website, I couldn’t stop now I have three versions:

-A medieval-themed,
-A clean, minimal one,
-And a chaotic, webcore version.

The webcore one began as a joke but somehow, it’s still there.
