Nobody escapes the disco floor.

Trampolines now bounce you proportional to your velocity.

"Your game looks too much like hot garbage" The game, which is 100% hot garbage:

In our wizard game, you can use the basic spell for all sorts of important wizard hijinks, including pushing students over (gently, of course), moving items around, opening containers, and much more!

We've made advances in spy tech.

Bit of gamedev magic. The page flipping in Exiled is actually just a bunch of models that I turn on and off quickly to LOOK like a page flipping. It's possible to get a similar effect with plugins but this was the easier option.

I've been working on spider enemies and oh my goodness their ragdolls are making me sick to my stomach.

I've been redoing the Wizard Boy AI and at some point corpses started moving around and attacking on their own and it's really unsettling.

I swear I can't add anything into this game without it just exploding.

Despite legitimately having much more important things to do I made a cauldron hat that idly sucks up things and spits out tiny little potions. (Yes, that is it sucking up buttons that are meant to be used for a puzzle. No, I'm not sure I'll fix it.)

Beta testing feedback for Wizard Boy has led to some very interesting discoveries. Wishlist below!

Surprise free game! I took ten games made for the game jam I co-ran with Jacksepticeye and put them into a collection together. Go take a look and let the developers know what your favorite games are! It means a lot to them. :) Link below. Again, totally free!

My Friendly Neighborhood launches tomorrow.

This isn't really my normal Twitter content, but I'm going to start posting stuff on shortform video places and I put a lot of work into this first one so I thought I'd post here too. :) Development updates coming soon!

Surprise! The Wizard Boy "Spring Cleaning Update" is now LIVE! Prop collecting, prop possessing, broom flying, head spinning, new missions, new gadgets, and lots more. If you're on the public testing branch, there's even an in-progress version of our new big castle to explore.

I am releasing this game in a day and a half. Please be kind in the reviews.

Another one of the shortform vids I made! If you have good Dopelo clips, post them below.

My Friendly Neighborhood, a survival horror game with a heart. 96% Positive on Steam, 1,100 reviews 9/10 on Screenrant 84 on Metacritic Polygon Recommends Award This is my shot to get enough traction on a game to start a studio with. :) Go check it out!

This is a video about fixing a DIRE issue in Wizard Boy that is actually just a way to convince you to purchase Wizard Boy while it is discounted for the Steam Spring sale.

After a long time coming, I have finally added prop possession into Wizard Boy! It's also implemented in a super duper janky way that I thought would make a good video. (I really need to find someone to do engine work for me.)

In response to GOTY contender Expedition 33 coming out, here's footage of MY game being played. (Sound on)

Experimenting with some "floor is lava" sort of stuff.

My Friendly Neighborhood 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ANNOUNCEMENTS! FIRSTLY, MFN is released on Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Gamepass RIGHT NOW! Available either with Gamepass Ultimate or directly from the store. (More announcements below!)

SPIN SPIN SPIN!
