Throwing this out here! I did the art for the chiptune-style OST that accompanies Everafter Falls, and it looks like it's going to be a really sweet and cosy farming sim!

And just a farming sim.

...Right?

FRANCAIS

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.)

Dinkum, The Aussie Cosy Life

Dinkum is so underrated. I feel like I never hear anyone talk about it on my feed, but I love this game so much, so I want to give it the attention it deserves! Me and my bestie love playing this game, we are both autistic + adhd and love cosy games so anything we can play together for a joint hyperfixation leads to a fun chaotic time. 

Like Stardew Valley, Dinkum is worked on by one person, James Bendon! The game is still in early access and the developer is slowly putting out lots of love in updates. I have been playing this game for way over a year now and I love watching what new goodies are brought in.

The game feels most comparable to animal crossing gameplay but without the mass villagers. You spend most of your time harvesting, mining, metal-detecting, doing daily NPC requests, fishing and bug-catching. You can also explore, decorate, cook and care for animals. You make money and work towards creating a thriving town by inviting all the NPCs to join your island. 

Dinkum is based in Australia! Which I love. I feel immersed in Australian culture when playing. Prepare to get your ass beat by some alpha crocodiles and alpha kangaroos! One of my favourite NPC in the games is called Irwin, he owns the animal store. He is super wholesome and I love how the devs have honoured the legacy of Steve Irwin within the game. 

Here is Irwin!

This game is definitely a slow burner, I personally wouldn’t suggest going into this game expecting to get its full experience within the first year of playthrough. Progression takes time, especially if you want to enjoy the later game features. 

However, the game feels very interactive to play, I love the hand trolley and wheelbarrow and how you are moving everything around visually instead of it just going into the bags. 

There is quite a bit more quality of life I would like to see from Dinkum still in the future. I would love to see improvements to the levelling farming early game, NPC locations on the map, a sandbox/creative mode, the pineapple plant re-growing instead of destroying, and possibly animal automation? I would also love to see improvements to multiplayer, currently, it won’t recognise another player as living there, but it would be good to have the option for them to have more control over things.

As I mentioned, I’m currently doing a second playthrough with my bestie! We are slowly working on creating a bigger town with roads and larger farms. We are in the middle of moving everything over to the middle and it is so fun watching it all come together! 

I am excited about the future of Dinkum. It has such charm to it. There is so much potential there and I’m truly looking forward to seeing what the dev has planned!

​P.S, James, if you are reading this, I have broken at least 10 dirt printers, I need emotional support.

This is the best photo I've ever seen! That's not even a lie. It warms my core.

New game suggestions wanted

I'm desperate to find a game for my Nintendo switch that is similar to the story of seasons series but focuses more on the social side than the farming. But I don't want any combat and I don't want animal crossing. I need that to be a mechanism where I can still complete silly little tasks to achieve something.

Like in harvest moon tree of tranquility where you had to collect crops to make rainbows

Any suggestions??

Graveyard Keeper - Blast Review

Developer: Lazy Bear Games Rrp: £15.49 (Gog.com) £16.06 (Humblestore) £16.75 (Steam)

I've seen online others call this game a 'dark' Stardew Valley, in a way I suppose they're right. The two games share a lot of similarities. Cosy games have become very popular of late and arguably Stardew Valley was one of the big games that pushed the genre. Graveyard Keeper is not what I would call a cosy game, people occasionally get burned at the stake... that's not exactly cosy.

Personally I actually found this game much more difficult than Stardew Valley, when I say difficult I mean that there are more jobs to try and balance. Thankfully, later in the game you get some help in the form of zombies you can raise that will do whatever task you set them to ceaselessly, such has chopping wood or mining ore. But even with the zombies assistance there are a great many tasks to handle you can't do them all in a single day.

This game resonated with me in a way that Stardew Valley (and many others) never did. I'm not sure if its the darker tone, the humour or something else but I found myself returning over and over. I've even installed it on my Steam Deck so I can play it while (attempting) to watch TV.
