First Blog Post!


Oh, excuse me! New indie developer coming right through!

My name is Taro Omiya, and I’m the sole developer of the indie game studio, Omiya Games. I was a daring challenger of #OneGameAMonth 2013, and all 4 of my games posted here on GameJolt were created in at most a month (though not necessarily by myself)! It was a crazy year, but here I am now, able to share my efforts.

This year, I’ll be fleshing out a few games to a fuller experience. I’m already busy building more features on top of Galactic NEON, and will be posting regular updates on it. The team I worked with on Global Game Jam 2014 are also discussing about expanding Ichabot Crane as well. As for String Theory and Prototype: Munch…well, those are in the backburner right now, but I’m still looking forward into expanding them!

A few other things about myself: my favorite game designers are Shigeru Miyamoto and Keita Takahashi, two men who created games that played like no other at the time. Like them, I aim to create new game mechanics never experienced before. This should be pretty obvious on all the games I’ve listed above that takes a well-known game genre and completely turns it over its head.

That said, I’m a huge sucker for a game with an excellent story. It’s no accident that my favorite game genre are Action JRPGs. I’m open to any story-based experiences around here, so let me know if you have any suggestions.

Well, that’s all I have for today. I usually blog at the Omiya Games homepage, but I will also try to keep this site up to date as well. Until then, happy gaming!

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Out of boredom and curiosity, I coded Sailor Jupiter's Argentine Backbreaker.

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
