Important Announcement to anyone working on a project even somewhat seriously:

USE CLOUD VERSION CONTROL!

Even if you just occasionally dump the files into Google Drive, do something!


I just read another heartbreaking case of someone losing everything to drive corruption.

It's best to have at least one cloud backup and also external drive backups if you can.

I used to just use Google Drive, but now I use GitHub Desktop. It's pretty straightforward to get the basics working which is all I'm using even now. After this I'm probably going to add a copy of my projects to an external drive for extra peace of mind.

Also, if this has happened to you, then there may still be ways for you to to recover the data, though I don't know much about that.

This post is very different from my typical Blooming Darkness updates, but these stories always feel like a gut punch.

Siblings, am I right?

And in case you missed it, you can now play the Blooming Darkness demo!

#Metroidvania #ScreenshotSaturday #PixelArt #Demo

Blooming Darkness demo is now scheduled for release next week! Things never go well whenever I make plans for this stuff, but I'm fairly confident this time!

#Metroidvania #PixelArt #Unity

This ability won't be in the demo, but I wanted to show it off anyway. Also, this was totally done first try and was definitely not spliced!

Happy Video Game Day! 🎮

Celebrate by completing our quests!

(They'll be in your quest log until September 19th.)

I added a Bestiary to Blooming Darkness! I this should help flush out the world a bit, and perhaps even hint at some lore

Happy #WIPWednesday!

I added a proper intro for a boss I showed off a while back! I've sent out the demo to a few people to playtest it

Hey everyone, it's been a while! Read the Article for an actual update.

I added a shield throw ability to the game. No indication yet, but it does more damage the more it bounces. I hope your trick shots are on point!
