An old scrapped fangame I wanted to make for the 10th anniversary last year. Mad Mind supposedly was meant to be as a 'continuation' of Carson's story in an alternate timeline where he never fulfills the prophecy


The game didn't get too far in development; I decided working on Never See You Again was more important than this short fangame, silly me. But alas, the story would've vastly recontextualized the "prophecy" and the character of the Torture Device heavily. It's technically just one of those "its so ridiculous its cool" moments I had, of course, I'm not saying it isn't, but it was just way to time-consuming for me when I could do other stuff than it.


The story takes inspiration from HP Lovecraft's works, as one would've expected, in a lame attempt to tie cosmic horror into this infamous fangame series in order to do things that has never been done before.

… yeah that's one of the reasons I never finished it, I cannot, for the life of me, find a way to make a story that feels short, self-contained, but give the Lovecraftian themes justice. So I decided it wasn't worth the time making and scrapped it early on.

And that's all that was ever done for the game, there was a small segment programmed, but I'm too lazy to find the MFA file. I felt like sharing this because I thought it'd be interesting enough to share lmao.


Regardless, goodbye, for now.

Hello Miku

In this mystic square... My prayers... they're highly responsive! This must've been some kind of story of an Eastern Wonderland or Lotus Land... perhaps even a phantasmagoria of a dim dream!

finished writing the script for "In The Gates of Madness" after leaving it to rot for months and returning to it recently. Minor touch-ups are needed, but I am really excited to continue development further.

thank you gamejolt administrators for shadowbanning them over a joke, what a great and trustworthy platform

4 months overdue to say but oh well.

Early gameplay screenshots so far. The project is going somewhat smoothly, cameras are to be done next.

I haven't been working on any games recently. Its quite tiring when that's all you've been doing for decades now. I hope to get motivation back to model and work again...
