Resin Of Earth update: you will be descending very soon. . .

Hey all, apologize for the late update, I try to keep in touch at least once a week, but couldn’t make it happen until now. I’ve been very busy with Resin Of Earth tweaking gameplay systems to provide a bit more narrative intrigue and also unifying and updating the game’s graphics.

2023 Plans: The Year Of Discover Our Bodies + Resin Of Earth + MAGfest + Yames Secret Games 2023

Hey everyone! Happy new year! I hope you all have had a good start to these year so far! I am posting to give you a heads-up about the plans for 2023. I think the big takeaway is that Discover Our Bodies will be at the forefront of everything this year, and my goal is to have it finalized in 2023. Attendant to this is the goal of streamlined Pat...

Resin Of Earth plans, MAGfest, DOB, plans for new year

Hey everyone, just letting you know my new deadline I've set for myself regarding Resin Of Earth is the end of this year, I've got a lot of time blocked out this + the next week to grind it out and get it to you all, really making a push to have it done in 2022 and not 2023.

Resin Of Earth updates + DOB Poll (long post, sort of)

Hey all, just wanted to post some more about Resin Of Earth!

So as you may or may not be aware Resin Of Earth is a game where you navigate a small group of folks deep down into the Earth as a part of a weird ritual/health program/new age lifestyle paradigm. This game is pretty different from my other games in that while there is a narrativ...

DOB Free Play?? + Resin Of Earth

Hi all! I am still working on the secret game, which now has a name of sorts: Resin Of Earth. There ended up being more dialogue to write than I thought there would be so I've mostly been getting into that. The game will be done relatively soon though, I promise, and it's my top priority to get it into your hands asap.

However, I had an ...

Quick Video Teaser!

(belated) Halloween game - just a bit more!

Hey everyone just wanted to say the game is very much coming along and I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far. As I have mentioned before this game is less narratively straight-forward than something like The Well or Water Womb World or Discover My Body, it is more non-linear and systems based, well moreso anyway, but I have been excit...

Another Quick Halloween Game Sneak Peek

Sorry for the late update! As I've said before I try to get one out at least every week. I got a bit of a cold that laid me out for a day or two but am back to being productive. This is part of the introductory portion of the game that gives a little context to the events/mechanics/experiences of the characters. There is more to it than this I j...

Sneak Peek at Secret Halloween Project (now not as secret to you, my Patrons)

If you want to truly go in blind, by all means, stop reading now!

So I've made some ...

Discover Our Bodies Scanner Mechanics

Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a little bit since I have made an update post, I recently got off a medication and the withdrawal has been giving me a ton of fatigue.

Ruins Of The Human Temple update + a little bit of Discover Our Bodies

Hey everyone, I wanted to make a post showing off a little bit more of the revamped Ruins Of The Human Temple graphics and also get into a bit more of Discover Our Bodies.
