Ever hugged a 4-armed otter? Neither have we, but we try every time we play Mythic Ocean. In this narrative adventure game the destiny of the universe is in your hands. Maybe even all 4 of them. Swim around an ocean before time and speak to the gods. Your influence determines what kind of universe will be created with hundreds on different possible endings. For those optimizers and optimists out there, Mythic Ocean is great for grabbing achievements and there is no "one true ending", so you can get your trophies and enjoy any outcome. It's available now on... Steam Nintendo Switch PS4 XBOX

This guy is so fun to draw (minus his shirt pattern 😪) and I’m once again proclaiming that Mouthwashing tickled and itched and altered my brain. ✨

Can You Spot The Wolf In This Picture ??

Tho this time I thought it would b cool to make this piece centered around Carmen, including items more specific to her route ‘,:3

I hope this reaches fellow fans of this game (The Path for those who don’t know !!)

Game development is so much fun behold my catboy booper simulator, currently working on just the clicker game part but i plan to add some dating sim or at least story elements later where you use the affection points you gain mid game to pay unlock dialogue and story sequences with him :)

its VERY barebones right now obviously but i plan for all the buttons to have at least some degree of legitimately entertaining interactions with him :) im having some trouble with the animations but its working out okay enough i think! I want to make the ui better quality eventually too but for now just getting a working prototype is what's important!

mon projet de fin d'études est terminé! pendant 2 mois, j'ai travaillé sur Le Grand Gouter d'Hortensia, un petit cozy game regroupant 3 mini-jeux, à l'atmosphère toute kiki et heureuse. bon, c'est très court, c'est censé être une vertical slice d'un plus grand concept, mais on tient déjà 10-15 minutes de gameplay là dedans! on était que 2 game artists à travailler dessus, donc je me suis tapée l'enviro, les props, l'UI, les FX et le lighting/opti, mais je me suis régalée avec tout ça :)

téléchargeable sur itch.io ICI si jamais vous voulez perdre 10 min de votre vie

(note! la version mac est malheureusement une vieille version dispo qu'en anglais, elle marche mais elle n'est pas aboutie du tout. les versions linux et windows sont les versions finales)

my final uni project is finally over! for two months, i worked on Hortensia's... big snack time (?? we haven't thought of the english title lmao), a little cozy game that centers around 3 mini-games, with a cute and happy vibe. it's... a short game, since it's supposed to just be a vertical slice/proof of concept of a much bigger idea, but we have about 10-15 minutes of gameplay in this bit! we were just 2 game artists to work on this, so i've had to work on the environment, the props, the UI, the FXs, and the lighting/optimisation, but i've had lots of fun with all of that :)

downloadable on itch.io HERE if you ever feel like losing 10 minutes of your life

(please note! the mac version is an old version, it works, but it's not the final version at all. the linux and windows versions are the final builds.)

I've never played a more beautiful game.

Gris; an indie game which came out in 2018 and was developed by Nomada Studio and Blitworks.

After playing through the first time, I wanted to find out if Nomada Studio has anything else under its name, but Gris is their debut release. 

This was such a joy to play! The watercolor effects on the backgrounds and character models are so beautiful. The music is incredible! The soundtrack was created by the artist Berlinist, which I can’t help but listen to while writing this.

The story is conveyed to the player using immaculate color theory, carefully designed visuals and sound design. Even the puzzles were crafted to bring the player along on this raw emotional journey. 

The only thing I knew beforehand is that the gameplay is similar to Limbo - only Gris is very much a 2D game, with flat geometric platforms (the genre is described on google as a platform-adventure.)

Puzzles are simple at times, but are challenging enough to have kept me interested. The run time is also very short, comparatively. It only has 4 levels and can be played in under 5 hours, start to finish.

I really hope that anyone who appreciates this art style and genre dives into the game without knowing much more than that! I didn’t know what the plot of the game was until I finished it, and figuring it out and getting to create my own interpretation was an amazing experience.

I can't understate how important it is to support independent media in our current time and crippling economy. Like yes! Go rave about that extremely niche podcast even if it lacks a big fandom! Go promote and post about that self published novel you enjoyed reading! Go comment on that person's webcomic even if they only released one chapter thus far! Go share that short less than five minutes animation with your friends! Go and edit Genius lyrics to that song with less than a thousand streams! Go buy that charming Unity game off Steam! Hell, go support your own friend's aspiring stories and projects and pat yourself on the back for your own. These things matter. Trust me. The creators take notice. Any and all support has virtue.

We live in a world where if a media or even a piece of art doesn't have immediate mass appeal in the eyes of the industry, it instantly gets shut down - even if it didn't reach it's max potential. Stories about unique, intimate experiences aren't allowed time in the spotlight. Passion projects now only linger in the shadows. And our world absolutely needs more passion. More tales and thoughts to touch the hearts of people. Or at least one person. Sometimes, even one person is enough.
