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.

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!

Touhou Project is one of those games that looks super interesting but ffffffffuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk is it difficult. I can't get past level 3 without losing all my lives in the first two!

Replaying Fallout New Vegas for the second season this December. So excited...

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...

(Really good minigames included in this update!)

#HorrorMovie, I really like "Jacob's Ladder" or "The Thing." I don't tend to watch many horror films, having only seen a few, but they come to find in terms of plot, really.
