I've been away from AGS and Photoshop for a couple of weeks now, and it'll probably be a few more weeks before I'm back. I've been making games (almost) non-stop since 2020, and I think I've earned a well-deserved break. 👇

One of the reasons I don't flood your timeline every three hours with posts about my games being on sale during the Steam's sales is that it barely makes any difference. Social media or not, my sales stay about the same. And they're good numbers! 👇

New Game Status: - The game has a title now! - 12 of the 14 backgrounds that will make up the first act are finished and fully implemented. - Matías has finished an original song that can be heard on one of the in-game radio stations. Things are moving forward!

Weird Game Designer Facts #14 Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye Games basically resurrected the graphic adventure as a viable game genre. By 2006, when he released his first game, The Shivah, graphic adventures were dead as a commercial medium. They had only rarely ever sold more than 100k copies.

Since Nightmare Frames, I’ve been toying with an idea inspired by It / Marianne / Candle Cove, but I couldn’t quite shape it. Yesterday, the entire plot suddenly came to me. I wish I had had this revelation earlier, but I’m really excited about the new game that’s in development.

The Dark Rites of Arkham has sold 10,000 copies! An English Haunting and Nightmare Frames have also surpassed 8,000 copies. Thank you so much to everyone who has made all of this possible and for your support over all these years!

I’m working on a radio broadcast that will play in the new game, featuring licensed and original songs, a DJ, and radio commercials. It’s similar to what I did in Nightmare Frames with Synthwave FM, but this time… in Italian!🇮🇹

There’s already a date for the AGS Awards 2025! This year features major titles like Old Skies, Rosewater, Carnival, and The Beekeeper’s Picnic. It’s going to be a very exciting ceremony! Oh, and The Dark Rites of Arkham is nominated for Best Demo!
