115 reviews so far and very positive! If you played my lil Teocida, consider leaving a recommendation on Steam (I think you can review/rank the games on consoles too).

plus: just a reminder that Teocida + Estigma is available on consoles.

TAMASHII FANS IN THE NOTES OF MY ITCH.IO POST I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

[bathroomcube]

checking out a game called teocida (warning for disturbing imagery if you decide to look into it). anyone else know anything about it? seems kind of obscure, only a few people have played it on youtube but im gonna be honest im too scared to play it on my own

[vikintor]

Yes! I remember when I found out that people had a kink on some Estigma and Teocida creatures and I approve it 100%.

And for Jez'rathki, even I have a crush on her LoL

Always glad when my OCs does the job.

the biggest achievement to have as an artist is people wanting to fuck your ocs

[necrosaltis]

I'm thinking about teocida again..

Christmas Video Game Roundup 2021

all these are on steam for the record; additionally games get downgraded for being explicitly grindy; this doesn’t mean I personally like them less; I have a lot of time to fill after all, but at the end of the day I trend towards games that keep my attention for longer and I feel that’s unfair to the games that are just trying to tell a story without bloating the game up.

Roguelites are also seperated into their own category Because Fuck Me I Am So SIck Of This Shit but I keep playing and enjoying them despite this so we’ll rate them separately. Stop making roguelites. I don’t think I’ve fully completed even one of them and Binding of Issac came out like what 10 years ago? God.

#1 Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin - I forget how I found out about this game but I bought it primarily on the fact that it looked sort’ve like Muramasa: The Demon Blade because I’m just lost in the forest and looking for that game all the time apparently; I was wrong, but it’s very good anyway

Side scrolling action platformer, you get materials from little gathering spots in the stages (you just whack them with a weapon to gather), these materials are used to build things in your base and craft gear, there is a farming system which serves to power you up (Sakuna is an agriculture deity; I have no idea if this is true in real life) and feed your little human helpers; additionally there’s cooking which provides temporary passives and permenant(?) stat ups, aditionally the farming is pretty involved and requires you to revisit the plot frequently or risk the rice getting crowded out by weeds or whathaveyou

the action is still definitely the main focus but I was surprised with the farming aspect, it seems like it’s got a lot to it

#2 Rhythm Doctor - One button rhythm game with a medical theme, there’s a plot and a bunch of soundcloud musicians made music for the game (or had their music used for the game?) so that’s pretty good. The plot also addresses issues with politics in health care though by and large they’re a plot device and any accuracy is more due to how comically one dimensional that issue is (the politician in question legitimately has a devil tail for god’s sake; why does this make sense)

the game also does some weird shit with the game window and graphics for the aforementioned plot and honestly some of the stunts it pulled were neat and also visually distressing so if you’ve got epilepsy you might skip this; I Did enjoy it (and beat it in one night) though! More plot coming as it’s in early access. Also there’s a two player system where you do two songs at once? Which seems neat, but they’re still working on it.

#3 Teocida (and to a lesser extent its prequel Tamashii, very similar games) - Puzzle platformer with heavy occult symbolism and theming, along with a more obvious horror theme. Teocida has some potentially distressing imagery, the game tells you about it, I’d take it seriously. Very HR Geiger. Tamashii is mostly your average tooth and blood and gore and corpse and meat game, though it establishes a tone very well and presents a religious themed plot surprisingly competently.

Tamashii has jump scares, Teocida does not.

#5 Monster Rancher 1&2 DX (Grindy; below rhythm doctor without the Grind Demotion) - first; Did I buy this because of Jerma? A little bit, but I missed monster rancher as a kid as I never owned a PSX so I was also interested to see how sony did the pokemon thing; pretty well it turns out, I’m already stuck in and I like the focus on developing a monster moreso then traversing an RPG plot

for those unfamiliar; you spend weeks on training your monster, managing their stress and energy levels, and there are some little exploratory walkaround segments too; by and large this is a game about climbing the tournament progression ladder with minimal plot, and unlocking stuff, also with minimal plot. Also you can get monsters out of an audio library packed into the game so that’s pretty cool (the actual songs aren’t there, it pulls them from the internet or something? online database koei tecmo is managing? I dunno; they’re probably not in the files though for obvious reasons), so if you’re looking for something a bit more focused on the monsters then pokemon this might be what you’re up for.

#6 Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow Of New Despair (Grindy; below Teocida&Tamashii without the Grind Demotion) - If this sounds like a B movie that’s intentional! Long running japanese Dynasty Warriors esque game where you play as a military man shooting up giant bug aliens (and also giant alien spaceships; they are breeding the bugs to put them on the earth for some reason; a full explanation is never provided, if you want one this may not be your game). Being japanese there are four classes, standard Guy With Gun, Woman With Jet Wings That Flies Around, Guy With Huge Backpack That Drops Tanks And Shit That You Can Drive Around In (also giant robots), and Guy With Melee Weapons And Big Heavy Armor. There’s honestly not a lot of nuance, but you do get all sorts of crazy weapons (mostly on the Not Generic Guy With Gun side of things) and it is very multiplayer friendly.

5 has already come out but I was unsure if I’d like it, so I got the cheaper prequel. I do like it!

#7 Project Nimbus - for those keeping track at home I fucking Love Giant Robots and project nimbus, as an armored core-like seemed right up my alley; it’s unfortunately a very stiff game and slower then it probably should be. I think the base is solid but the lack of animation work and sub par voice acting (the actors misread and skip entire lines; this speeds through the skipped dialogue faster then you can read it) kinda killed it for me. I will probably play more at some point, but I don’t expect a sudden turnaround.

N/A Rain World - this game was doing a lot of weird shit that I wasn’t prepared for and I dropped it almost immediately; I think it’s probably good, I just have to be in the mood for it. I was like catching bugs and eating them and crawling into a weird artificial space to take a nap and like just very odd game. I’m sure it’ll go places but I have no idea how much I’ll like them

Roguelite And Roguelite Adjacent Roundup: Why Are There So Many Of These Fuckers And Why Do I Like Some Of Them Regardless

#1 One Step From Eden - Remember Megaman Battle Network? It’s that with a whole new set of cards and some changes to the basic systems. Multiple characters, they all do different stuff and start with different decks, some of them have weird basic weapons, etc etc. Fun! Chaotic! I really enjoy it, but it’s riding hard on that megaman battle network recognition so I’d make sure you know what you’re getting into with that. Also multiplayer is great fun.

#2 Void Bastards - I bought this on a reccomendation from a pal. The art style is great, I love how the game presents itself, the art style is So Good, It’s more about ammo and resource management and it manages to set itself apart from conventional roguelites by doing this, and the art style is solid.

The concept is you’re raiding abandoned ships in a dead sector of space as a rehydrated felon serving out your sentence to a corporation Bla Bla Bla Capitalisitic Critique I Don’t Mind It But Fuck Me There’s That Plot Again, but the art is superb. On the downside the enemies are very simialr to one another (3-4 of them are just Guy That Shoots At You, one is a turret, another is an obnoxious thing that explodes if you walk near it), and the game starts feeling samey Really Quickly, which obviously sucks for a roguelite.

You do keep resources between games, this essentially amounts to permenant upgrades and new weapons as you progress. Time is also limited as you’re running on borrowed oxygen. There are little substations on the ships, sometimes you need to repower the ship, sometimes the ship’s power grid is on the fritz and will blink out periodically, sometimes there’s a radiation leak and you gotta go to the rad station to purge it, etc etc. Really neat! Really different! but it badly suffers from repetitive gameplay syndrome, even for a roguelite, unfortunately. Might be worth it if you’re really into setting and concept. I know sci fi just grabs a lot of people by the throat.

And the art is So Fucking Good, for real. There’s like comic book style transitions between character deaths, sound effects are shown on doors as like *clunk clunk* or whatver when an enemy is in that room (vital! you don’t want to waste ammo if you don’t have to), and the stylized art translates very well to the gameplay in general, and enhances it in many ways. Art is very good.

N/A Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder - I bought this game just because it showed up on my steam front page and I make a habit of trying to support smaller devs when they give me a reasonable offer. Which explains why the genre snuck up on me.

It’s an autochess game, which I consider to be a roguelite adjacent because there’s already like 20 of them out and they’ve existed for a year. This is my first so I can’t really rate it as such. I like it! But I have no idea what I’m looking at in the grand scheme here.

The game kind’ve has early webcomic humor and honestly I sort’ve hate that. Pixel art is pretty solid though! But yeah. I get a lot of Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder vibes out of this, because that’s the only autochess game I’ve played. You understand.

A.M.A (and some screenshots from my work)

I've made an account for "ask me anything" stuff (anonymous or not). Of course you can use Tumblr's own "Ask me anything" button as well, but Curious Cat don't requires an account, so it's easier for other socials. Feel free to drop something there if you want.

You can ask anything you want, about my games (my original titles, curiosities, about the Githyanki fangame based on Baldur's gate 3) or personal stuff (ok, maybe I'm not answering all of them or take longer, but I will try).

👉https://curiouscat.live/vikintor

Criei uma conta para as paradas de "me pergunte qualquer coisa" (anônimo ou não). Claro que vocês daqui podem me perguntar coisas usando o próprio sistema do Tumblr (o botão de "pergunta" está ativo na minha conta) . Porém fiz um Curious Cat porque ele permite que mandem perguntas sem precisar ter conta. As respostas vão ser postadas no Twitter tmb.

Perguntem o que quiserem lá, sobre meus jogos originais, curiosidades, sobre meu Fangame de Githyanki baseado em Baldur's gate 3 ou coisas pessoais (Eu vou tentar responder o máximo possível, mas não posso prometer se vai ser tão rápido ou se responderei caso alguma seja muito pessoal).

More screenshots (from Baldur's Gate 3 Githyanki fangame)

I'm dropping some screenshots from the Githyanki fangame being made in GZdoom.

It's a short one map experience when players explores a Githyanki Stronghold and meet other people tavs/OC's. It's setting is inspired by "The Lich-Queen's Beloved".

You play as Jez'rathki, A Githyanki woman who was on the verge of discovering a conspiracy around the earthquakes in Tuna'rath.

For now everything is going smooth!

plus: Today I'm making something for fun and If this goes right the Githyanki fangame alpha will be released with a tiny silly bonus gift.

Pleroma's original video

I found the original unedited video reference of Pleroma's model created for Teocida. (It was in my old drive.)

The game uses low-resolution sprites edited from this short clip. The model itself (and this footage) was made in Dreams(PS4) back in 2021.

Remaking some Teocida sprite

Started reimagining some sprites from Tamashii/Teocida in 3D, I'm first remaking some NSFW NPC's.

do any of your OCs like children?

Answering the oc asks:

About my DND oc Jez'rathki: Val'ty Jez'rathki says that she loves children, but her idea of being a mother is heavily influenced by how her Varsh (caretaker) treated her as a kid (raising her to be as hostile as possible).

Jez'rathki doesn't want to treat Children as her caretaker did to her, so she can act as a tender mother occasionally if the children are from her kin (or friends), while approving and instimulating some wrongdoings if they are funny enough. If the children are not from her kin she acts with a bit of apathy (at the point of telling a human father that his baby looks lame), as her views on children are based on how much they can be raised for the good of her kin.

About the Matriarch oc (From Teocida): She likes and respects children, but she doesn't share her in-depth wisdom with them, only some small common snippets as they aren't mature enough. The Matriarch sees them as vulnerable and wants them to be protected. Trivia: She has the habit of calling everyone children in her inner circle, but there, real children are forbidden.
