Update '17


Hi all, apologies for no updates for like forever, I’m not very good at letting people know what’s going on.
I’m working on H (which is be changed to EnHanced) again, I’ll tell you the condensed version of what’s been going on:

-I made H in two years, submitted it to Steam Green-light and GameJolt.
-I work on my current games, Blessed be the Damned and Decay for 2 years.
-H gets accepted by Steam Green-light after 2 years being on it out of nowhere, this gives me motivation to work on it with fixes and adding things.
-The engine I use is one of the worst things ever made so it falls short and kills my motivation.
-A year or two later GameJolt contacts me asking if I’d like to put H up for sale as they are monetising now, this again gives me motivation to work on H/EnHanced more
-Present day, I’ve fixed saving, (it was totally borked last time which was a main reason I stopped last time) and am updating the colours to make them tighter and more vivid.

I’m hoping to get EnHanced all good ‘soon enough’ and put it on here/update this H’s game slot to be for a nominal fee.
I’m not confident enough in it to want to submit it to Steam (as it’s been Green-lite) but I’m being told it’d be a good idea…

I’m in two minds about it because Steam users have a certain expectations about games on Steam and my short, indie 8-bit style platform shooter with a slightly dodgy engine may not be that well received… that and I’m unsure of GameJolt’s conditions with all this (which I probably should have looked up).
On the other hand, EnHanced may get me a lil bit of following so more people will see Blessed be the Damned when it’s finished and also Bad Rats, The Path and The Graveyard are on there so do I have that much to lose? :V

Attached is a screenshot of a newer tile set as well as H and the HUD being updated very slightly to have more colour synergy (thank you ColorWizard!)

A big thank you to anyone who has had and/or still has any interested in H/EnHanced and thanks for reading!

Been working on doing some YT Shorts for Era's End Entities so you can get little highlights without committing to the 30 minute run time right away See if it's something you'd be interested in first 🙌

I have arbitrarily decided that the full game of #indiehorrorgame #FriendShapes will be available starting this Saturday!

It's 7-10 hours in length, has almost 40 encounters, 74 original tracks of music, 5 Digressions and took me almost 4 years to make 🎉

The existential horror lite-RPG game, FriendShapes is now fully released!

FriendShapes is now completed and just needs a bit more testing from testers! 🎉🎊

​Small update for FriendShapes with a couple of small (and one big) fix!

Watch this space for news of a upcoming video mini-series detailing some Shapes you have (and haven't) encountered 👋

Kittercyat over on Twitter made this really lovely tiny painting for me to commemorate completing the final Digression in FriendShapes 🙌💜

Big thanks to everyone who looked at EnHanced in the past year and the 10 that bought it (counting sales on all platforms that is) - here's to another year 🎉

As it appears that going against the tide of constant hentai and dating games is pointless, let's have FriendShapes be '"Friend" "Shapes"' where you date everyone and Doki Doki all over the place 💝

It's that time of year again to get Mícheart Jinsil, now Mírryheart Tinsil, dressed up and paraded across your screens to wish you all a Marty Chrimbo and a happy, productive new year 🙌🎉✨

​Just a small update that forces the tutorial page that explains how Encounters works to appear just after completing the intro as I think some people never went to look and thus didn't know what was going on - I hope this helps subsequent players!
