Happy New Year to all of you

and thank you for the amazing support in 2018!

Special thanks to the long time Patrons who stayed over the past months of silence, your contribution is greatly appreciated!

Moving into 2019 there is some exciting news to share regarding the state of my game projects.
Some might have noticed that I was involved in the development of a new project that was first released on 24th of December over at itch.io.

I was approached by Nidma Games a few months ago with a project idea and we decided to do a collaboration. This project is called Midnight Ride and you can find a free to play 720p version at itch.io together with a downloadable FullHD Edition.

This project is a team effort together with another 3D artist and my main contribution to it is coding the game engine for it. Main development during this initial phase was to get the game HTML5 ready in addition to a regular windows edition and more platforms will come at a later point (MacOS, Linux, Android).

But what about your existing projects, Panda?
Well, I'm glad you ask!

Engine development from MR (Midnight Ride) will directly benefit the development of the TS Reboot (Twin Star) since that will have a HTML5 version too (don't worry, it will also have regular PC versions). In addition I decided to revive SJ (Space Junk) on that engine too! No more Ren'Py, since that was very limiting in terms of gameplay elements that I have in mind for SJ. While Ren'Py is really good for linear VN style games, it posed many issues for the game style that SJ was intended to have so switching it over to GameMaker:Studio2 lets me finally continue working on that project as I had originally planned without either reworking Ren'Py functionality too much or dumping planned gameplay features.
