💬Hey everyone! It's time for me to share some news about Return along with my next game! What's Next? 🎉I'm happy to say Return will be getting a new content update by the end of December! I can't share any details yet but it will be on par or larger than the last update. 🎮The Return Switch port is now underway and will be completed by the end of December as well.

- The Future of Return - 3 June 2023
Hello everyone, The launch of Return is well under way and we're glad to see you guys are enjoying the world so far. With that said, I want to address the major issue with the game, the length. Players are completing the game much faster than anticipated. I always envisioned Return as a slimmed down game without the need for much backtracking or reusing levels. As a consequence of this, the game has ended up too short. I'm committed to improving the game and I want to make sure players feel like they get their money's worth. So as of this week I have begun working on a content update for Return. I can't say too much yet except that it will include the following: - New Game Plus - Boss Rush - New Areas to Explore - Quality of Life Fixes - New Achievements With that said, unfortunately if sales don't perform well enough I will have to devote all my time to the next project. But don't worr…

Make sure to start a new game to ensure the trackers are correctly reset.
- Return Hotfix 1.0.1 - 30 May 2023

- My Very First Game + Mac Support News - 18 May 2023
Hello everyone, with the launch of my first commercial game around the corner, I wanted to share something special with you. The first game I ever made... I'll also be sharing some important news regarding Mac support. My Very First Game In 2015 I took a course about modding Minecraft, this was the first time I had ever coded anything or created pixel art. Needless to say I was immediately hooked, so I turned to YouTube with the intent of making my own games. I found some tutorials and got to work, this is the result of those efforts, my very first game EVER. I believe the main tutorial for the game was one by Tom Francis and some of the art assets were from a tutorial by Heartbeast. The engine I used was GameMaker 1.4 and I used Pyxel edit for the art. The project is also literally called "First Game". It's hard to believe how far I've come since that game, as of today I've participate…
