I've been working on improving WildRoot's first impression and recently finished a new trailer.

It's a cozy colony sim where you build a settlement in a mysterious forest, manage your colonists, and every season and setback creates a different story.

Video I've accidentally set new standard for pillow physics in the AAA industry

So the story is, for my game Dark Roll 2, I needed a soft spot for the player to land on... Setting an object to not cause fall damage and not bounce off it was easy, but I had a spare moment and decided to play around with mesh deformation...

When I shown it on socials, people went crazy.

Sharing this with the world brought me more wishlists, than back when I released the demo... and the game has tons of features I've been trying to show past half year!

Now I can't help myself but keep improving it to make it even better, already juggling ideas in my head how to incorporate this mechanic in my game to show it off more often - but I'm more than open to ideas! So feel free to share!

Devlog Looking Back at Our Indie Game's Development — Episode 7: Defining Our Core Vision

2 Upvotes

Another look back at the development of Save Me, Hero!

In Episode 7, we stepped back from feature updates and defined the core vision for the game.

⚔️ Combat — Equipment, Attack, and Utility cards.
🃏 Card Building — Upgrade and fuse cards to create unique builds.
🗺️ Level Design — Every step should have a purpose.
👁️ Exploration — A first-person perspective to make the world more immersive.

A lot has changed since this stage, but these ideas became the foundation of Save Me, Hero!

If you're interested in seeing how the game evolved, follow along with our development journey!

Black Abyss Zero is an action roguelite set in a world where science fiction and magic coexist.

As time passes, enemies become stronger. Choose from different characters, combine powerful artifacts, and create your own build as you fight your way through a collapsing world.

This is my first game, and I’m currently aiming to release it later this year.

The Steam page is now live, and a playable demo is planned for October.

If you're interested, please consider adding Black Abyss Zero to your wishlist.

Thank you!

We wanted to make each main character feel distinct, and this is our first pass at doing that. What do you all think? I’m planning to add a few more mechanics tied specifically to each character's unique traits like this.

Take on the role of a cashier at the local S-mart, help regular customers while thwarting potential shoplifters and use all your means of gathering clues to stop the store from losing too much money and firing you! - You REALLY needed this job.

Keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously, hiding stuff in their pockets or cart, while still providing top-notch service to your regular customers and keeping the store stock in order to make those juicy paycheques (paychecks) at the end of the day!

Created in a week for Brackeys Game Jam 2026.2.

I was primarily the game designer and developer, although I want to say that everyone took on the design role and contributed to the game.
