A lot will change with this and I'll work more on Possess Quest soon, but I did some more work on "Ship-Break" as it's currently titled 🚀🔵👾⭐

Wanted to have something to show of Possess Quest for Halloween this year, but doesn't look like I'll have anything too major done in time :(

So here's an unfinished Level 2-4 instead, featuring a "new" enemy type. Ooooooo spooky 😱

Was gonna wait to show this off, but here's yet another new level! 🧊

Drew this for @gamegarage.bsky.social's #LumiDressUp event! Might do more of these, go support Star Garden on Kickstarter if you can also: www.getstargarden.com

Possess Quest's demo got frontpaged on Newgrounds! Released an update (exclusive to there for now, but I'll release one on itch later) with some quality of life- wait what's going on here? 🤔

Small update for today, but I've made some changes to the options menu. Still not quite finished, but you can now access it during gameplay too!

The second character is from a small project I was working on in late 2018, titled Robowroo

I ended up cancelling it in favor of adding her to another game of mine and renamed the character to Kangabot, but now I'm really considering revisiting that old project in some form 😅

Wonder if they would be friends 🤔

(Super cool to see this Sonic prototype btw, even if I'm also sad we'll likely never get to play a finished version)

Here's a look at the options menu in Possess Quest, some stuff may change but I think it's coming along nicely!

Made edits to these, I'm considering expanding this to include games that are similar to Chao Garden but not directly stated to have been inspired (like that horse girl gacha game everyone kept talking about lol)

I'm not too sure about it though, so let me know if I should!

Been working on adding rebindable keys/buttons to Possess Quest! No fancy menu yet, but here's some examples of custom controls that no one should ever use 😆

Made some more progress on what I teased earlier for Possess Quest, as you may have guessed it's a world map! 🗺️

Chao Garden inspired games (may add more to this later)

The really difficult bonus level for World 1 of Possess Quest is pretty much done now, here's some gameplay of me failing at it 😂

Thinking of giving each world in Possess Quest a Kaizo inspired bonus level, unlocked by 100% clearing that specific world

Here's an early look at World 1's, I honestly lost track of how many attempts it took for me to clear it 🙃

Figured I'd record a playthrough of what Possess Quest has so far, you may notice I've updated some backgrounds more and added new sound effects

Next thing I work on will be new levels 👀

Here's a look at some other backgrounds with more detail also. Even zoomed the camera out here so you can more easily see everything

Work in progress, but I'm experimenting with making Possess Quest's backgrounds more detailed (like in older builds of the game) since I think I much prefer it personally

Still, feedback is welcome! Hope to be able to share progress more often going forward 😅

this looks awful but I tried lol

Proud to announce that Possess Quest will release on Wii Phone, as a launch title in 2026!

(Happy April Fools' Day everyone!)

Finally added something to Possess Quest that I've been meaning to add for a while now: an effect for when you possess enemies!

Decided to nerf it so that you don't move upwards when cancelling the stomp, since it felt too overpowered otherwise

It can seemingly still be used to cross gaps at least, though again I'm not very skilled at it as you can probably tell 🙃
