I've tested this and it's fantastic! Wishlist now!

Please buy my game. I am very, very exhausted.

I really hope to have the time to revamp Abscission one day, I think there are a lot of tweaks I could make to polish the experience (I'd even like to do a full graphical overhaul). We'll see!

Just testing the waters, are people interested in Beyond Booleans merch? Here's the prototype for a Tragic Loss of M. Slazak t-shirt, with a cheeky Booleans logo in the collar...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

One year of Carnival! It's been a crazy year since release, with so many highlights, and to think things started with a tiny concept image based on an old novella, intended as a short 30 min game. Thank you to everyone who has bought it and supported me this year, it means everything x

Here's another close up from The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak, the wheeling and dealing Jimmy Young. Do you like pixel art point & click cosmic horror? Wishlist here! store.steampowered.com/app/2798050/...

The demo for The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak is getting closer! Here is the close up of another character, the clever and fastidious Jackie Hawker. Wishlist here! - store.steampowered.com/app/2798050/...

The problem with being a game dev alongside other jobs is my holiday becomes more work and then my rest becomes 'some time after the next three games'. Here's a screenshot from my upcoming game The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak to illustrate. How do other devs manage this?

I've just finished the first start-to-end playthrough of the demo of The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak! A lovely milestone. Now comes a LOT of polish, then off to some lovely playtesters.

The environments for the demo of my upcoming cosmic horror point-&-click The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak are largely completed, and I hope to have it with my testers in around 3-4 weeks! You can wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/2798050/...

That feeling when you explain your game's plot to someone for the first time and wonder if it sounds like absolute bollocks.

The game dev gods have seen fit to hand me an opportunity to work on something really exciting! It will have to remain a mystery for now, but rest assured as soon as I can post details about it I will. What a year this is turning out to be!

When the weather is hot, what could be better than chilling your blood with some pixel horror? Get award winning games Abscission and Carnival in the Steam summer sale, with an extra 10% off if you buy both! store.steampowered.com/bundle/56554...

Carnival has been sitting on 59 review for a while, is there anyone out there who enjoyed it and hasn't already reviewed it willing to push it over to 60? store.steampowered.com/app/2928770/... If you didn't enjoy it... well, keep your secrets ;)

Nice words about Nighthawks!

Nighthawks is an RPG with player choice, an immersive skill check dialogue system, and a wonderfully written story that unfolds alongside your decisions. After previewing the first act, Nighthawks feels like a vampire RPG with bite and emotional stakes. I can't wait to see where it goes at launch.

For those who don't know me (many people), I'm a solo dev who makes pixel art narrative horror games. My latest project is The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak, and you can wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/2798050/... Much love to you all!

If any of you lovely people are at UK Games Expo today, I will be wandering around REPRESENTING THE BRAND. Come and say hi!

No dev exists in a vacuum, and I think it's always good to acknowledge this, as we are all working to make great games! Here are some of my influences from over the years - The Last Door series, the Chzo Mythos series, Dreamweb, and the inspiring ongoing work of @postmodernadv.bsky.social .
