actually a big fan of ppl referring to Castle as “Jenga but with cards” ngl

pointless fun thing I've added to Castle V Castle: a signpost that strolls up when your castle is near destruction with a "the end is nigh" sign. if your castles loses while the signpost is there, it turns around and reads “told u so”

Super happy to have worked on the key art of the wonderful Castle V Castle (from @nopopofun.bsky.social ) You can play the demo & wishlist on steam! ☀️

❤️

Might feel like everything is going to 💩 but there's still lots of good in the world. Here's a little joy for ya — grab a ticket or apply to speak this year!

reminder:

ngl i’ve been working on this thing quietly and alone for so long that it blows my mind seeing responses like this ❤️

If you've been curious to play our cozy community builder Mossfield Origins - why not try it during Steam Next Fest! Try the Mossfield Origins demo: store.steampowered.com/app/1836400/... Don't miss the rest of the games of Steam Next Fest - store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest #steamnextfest

Obligatory NextFest post! Go check out the demo, spread the word and wishlist please! There's going to be a silly number of games this time around so any help on visibility and promo really helps!

castle v castle is part of steam next fest! my first game on PC, absolutely a dang _moment_ for me. i’ve been trying to make this game for years and it’s finally happening (still will be on mobile too ofc, i’ll never ever turn my back on that) store.steampowered.com/app/3398880/...

try my game’s demo in Steam Next Fest!!! - turn-based strategy game - funded by Slay the Spire dev - published by Among Us devs (Outhersloth) - made by me!!!! - build up your castle and reduce your opponent brick by brick

Castle V Castle is a new turn-based strategy game funded by Slay the Spire's Casey Yano and inspired by browser classic Castle Wars, and you can try the demo now #strategygame www.pcgamesn.com/castle-v-cas...

came across this game, seems kinda cool. maybe try the demo? wishlist it?

absolutely surreal moment for me rn. my game backed by Outersloth, a dang card battler funded by a Slay the Spire dev, and Future Friends on it too? truly wild

SO YEA LETS GO

things are about to happen i’m scared lmao

office manager says “no work” :(

still amuses me greatly

sometimes i really love making games. today i was working on a book that flips open but i was like “im not fuckin animating that in this weird isometric perspective i cornered myself into” and i just replaced it w a filing cabinet so now filing cabinets are a part of this world of fighting castles

i feel like there should be a name for when you add a thing to your game as a joke that ends up being an actually good design choice

was going through pics from Japan trip and my phone helpfully translated lmao

great summary of how tired i am rn: i just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to take a picture of the back of my phone (bc i cracked it and it looks kinda cool) using… my phone

further pitching adventures: dear publishers, don’t make your whole email be the answers to the form i filled out and then have the rejection below. like, you get this right? making me scroll to get a no is extra shitty

having now made games -on my own, no funding/pub -running a team, w funding/pub -on my own, w funding/pub i still have no idea what’s the way to go. they all rule in their own ways and suck in their own ways (the only thing i’m sure of is running a team w no funding is bad)

working on my video game to p much not have to deal w whatever is going on in the world rn

one of my favorite things about art. you see something and go “wow, these color choices! a subtle yet clear nod to the contrast between nature and capitalism’s relentless march” and then the artist is like “yea i was fuckin hungover as shit that day and ordered the wrong paint”

more than anything i feel like my goal as a game designer is to make shit that doesn’t make sense but works. i want “i don’t get it. but i get it”

bro i have to work go ponder somewhere else

making games is weird like how am i supposed to know what anyone is gonna think of a reveal of something i’ve been dealing w intimately for 8 months how do you even navigate that

we underestimate ppl who make game trailers i just realized that the test footage i just got back features a walkcycle THAT I DID NOT GIVE MY CHARACTERS WHATSOEVER

lol whoops

before things kick off this is just your reminder that nopopo means no police
