Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

Most mainstream gaming publications have ignored my attempts at outreach so it's nice to get a little bit of coverage, even if it's just of me doing some shitting on AI

Going to be at #CEO in August for @megaknockdown.com. Haven't done a show since before COVID and I've never done a gaming show, so I have no idea what to expect. Need to get prints made, need to do a few new pieces. I'm thinking of digging out these pieces, but I need some new stuff.

Mega Knockdown just hit 5000 wishlists!

Hey games writers, check out the response to this banger tweet and think about covering my game. You will get clicks. Thanks! dms are open. @zackzwiezen.com @dominictarason.com @jurassicrabbit.bsky.social @elahti.bsky.social

All character animations in Mega Knockdown are overrides on top of a 'base layer' populated with placeholder Jerma greenscreen sprites. I can't remove these "Load Bearing Jermas" without rebuilding my entire animation system.

this is art

Whoa this blew up for some reason. You can find the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1492750/... (*and yes, the beta art style is still selectable in game, although the new animations are much better)

Mega Knockdown on Steam

A fighting game where the action only moves when you do. Plan your next move, then strike, evade and punish! Knock 'em down and press the advantage! Fight colorful hand-drawn characters, and challenge...

Mega Knockdown is a turn based 1v1 fighting game, and one of the 6 obscure (but awesome) indie games we featured on episode 10 of Careware! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNl1... #IndieGameDev #VideoGames #IndieGames #Games #FightingGame

This Game is so fun i love coming back to play it from time to time. I like the jermas are still pickable but the art style for all the characters is golden. You should pick it up if you havent already or just hop online so i can show you my Nick lol
