The Legendary Axe concept mockup. Been a while since I made one of these. Research was tough. I have no connection to the game or the turbografx-16 whatsoever, but the final boss being a weird and unsettling merger of confused cavemen held together by an eldric mass was captivating.

Pixel art of an old ruin under cloudy skies. A man in a loincloth, holding an axe faces agains a gigantic bearded man, horribly mutated by a black goop littered with eyes and glowing veins

Yeah have done an MRI last year. Its otherworldly being inside it.
Sounds exactly like an old spectrum loading. Very LOUD too!
Hope you get to the bottom of the injury.

Our Director @mat-annal.bsky.social made this fan piece some time ago and I don’t think ever showed it…

I will be honest I almost bounced off it fairly quickly.

The first few areas are all just smashy smashy and nothing else. It had no real structure for me.

Smash…scoop gold… repeat

I had to persist and it took me hours to get into it before it clicked.

We worked SO hard on this. Wicked wishes is imo the most fun campaign of the game. Am very proud of what we achieved.

Question for indie dev friends.

Is there any platforms outside of Steam that are worth releasing games on⁉️
