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.

I have been reading "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, recently finished up "The Mask", now going thru "In The Court of the Dragon." Interesting stories, I must say. I like them a lot

The idea of memento mori is more comforting than the assurance that it won't. I can learn to appreciate life and the beautiful people I've gotten to know more knowing one day, maybe tomorrow, or today, I shall cease on this earth.

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

Rain, rain, go away Come again some other day

Since this bum @SkullsterGames is really stupid

10 likes and ill cosplay as a chick

Lockjaw. Chapter 2

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.

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!
