Made a small thing for the #GMTK2026 jam. The theme was "countdown", so I made a turn-based fight in which your stats go down every turn. It's not much, but it has a space knight: apehardware.itch.io/all-paramete...

Another monkey making small indie games. I combine surreal horror with odd gameplay mechanics. A thread about my main games on Steam: https://bsky.app/profile/apehardware.bsky.social/post/3l3bn4x5nww2e Itch.io: https://apehardware.itch.io/
I'm really surprised by how much positive feedback this mess got. I've been trying to work on a spiritual successor. The (expanded) battle system and most basic stuff are already functioning, but I'm unsure of what do to with the story. It will probably have to be a different setting.

There's also a new Margini videoludici (At videogame margins) column, about an explicitly "anti-generative AI" videogame, @apehardware.bsky.social's Cognitive Reconquista.

Making something for a game jam. I totally know what I'm doing.
#IndieGames is trending and I released one yesterday, so... This is Kuentame, it has top-down platforming, multi-stage boss fights, pre-rendered (and human-made) graphics, and lore™. store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... apehardware.itch.io/0nc3up0n4t1m3 #GameDev #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday
Kuentame has been released! It's been 6 months, but my first attempt at a game with graphics made from pre-rendered Blender 3D models (NO genAI used) is here. Be warned, the change in style does not mean it's less weird than my previous work. store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... #indiedev
#indiedev is trending, so I should mention that my lastest project, Kuentame, releases in just 3 days. It's a top-down bullet hell platformer with surreal, eerie graphics created with pre-rendered 3D models (all human-made, NO genAI). store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... #gamedev #indiegame

Made a small thing for a Galician game jam (don't worry, it's also in English). The theme was making a game based on a short story about someone trying to remember an odd childhood story about fishing a giant octopus. My take on this was a quiz horror game: apehardware.itch.io/polbo-xigant...

ApeHardware@apehardware.bsky.social · 9mo agoI'm doing it this time. Pre-rendered everything. The game itself is a spiritual successor to an old Gamemaker project of mine. It was a sort of top-down platformer, but it did not age very well and it glitches out on Linux.

ApeHardware@apehardware.bsky.social · last yr.Trying to get back at doing pre-rendered visuals so I don't have to rely on stock images for everything. This was done entirely with Blender (and some GIMP filters), no photo textures. Haven't touched this kind of style since my FNaF fangame era (...vietnam flashbacks...).
For whatever reason this sale didn't let people claim the games. I extended it a few hours and that seems to have fixed it, I guess the servers got possessed for Halloween.

ApeHardware@apehardware.bsky.social · 9mo agoYeah, it's finished. I've been unsure of what to do with it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, but compared to the usual mascot horror it's an OK game. I'm considering making it available on Itch for 1$ and discounting it 100% for the Itch Halloween Sale, just to see how it goes.
