take a look, folks! it's a brand new location.
I'm working hard on the game, as per usual. Soon I'll be heading to Mexico to bang out the demo, which will be available before the year's end.
I'll continue posting art and progress, free for everyone to view, and when the demo is released, patreon backers at every level will get to play!
2017-11-23 22:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, just keeping you updated on Pairanormal's progress. We have two major announcements!
that's right folks, I've found the -perfect- musician to score this game. He was actually my first pick, and after shooting an email to him, he was down! I want y'all to know that the money you are pledging in the following months is going directly into that brilliant man's pockets. YOUR PLEDGES allowed me to hire an AWESOME musician<...

The final boss, from StarSlam! I finished her~~~
This image took a surprisingly long amount of time, considering how simple the game's style is. I figured out how to automate that awesome dithering, but it took a while to get used to it!
2017-10-16 08:27:44 +0000 UTC View Posthey folks! Yesterday I streamed some art and answered questions from folks on the Geek Remix server. Since the stream was not recorded, I wanted to write an abridged version of the answers to the questions I got, as well as post the art that I made during the stream.
Q: What has been your favorite part (or parts!) so far of creating the dating sim?
A: The art is by f...

I'm sure many of my newer patrons have been anticipating this project, and I want to take time now to officially announce it! The Geek Remix Dating Sim is going to be called "PAIRANORMAL". The featured dateable characters are Mari and Stacy from GeekRemix, as well as their Youtube friends LauraKBuzz, 2017-10-12 01:07:42 +0000 UTC View Post
we've just added the UI to the game. I tried to keep it reminiscent of old school NES type stuff. I'm really liking how it looks!

take a look, folks. We've got Estee, the game's protagonist, hoppin' and boppin'!
Next up we'll be adjusting the physics and adding the titular Star-Slamming action!

hey all! since it's #screenshotsaturday, I thought I'd take this opportunity to post what I've been working on after Charmixy. It's a small game called "StarSlam", about smashing stars and making new friends.
You'll play as Estee, a human girl who has found a magical star wand that gives her incredible acrobatic ability. Where did the wand come from? You'll have to play to find out.
Before you ask, this game is what we'll be charging patrons for in the coming months. Make sure to adjust ...

Hey y'all. Big news. Some good, some bad. First of all,
*big breath*
Charmixy is going on Hiatus.
Yeah, I'm sure my gamedev friends could tell this was a long time coming. Unfortunately, Charmixy is game that I both love, but has caused me some trouble for the past three years. As a creative person and game maker, I need to constantly be creating, and working on a single project for such a long time has taken a toll on me. I want to put Charmixy down for a while so I can regroup an...

you heard it right, everyone. After our most recent update, we’ll now be focusing exclusively on the battle system for several upcoming updates; adding new battles that you can try very soon!
Here’s a preview of one of the first battles you’ll be able to play: VS London! London is a stage magician, so of course all of her Charmixy are based on her tricks! I wonder what each one does?

the final UI for the game has been implemented. It hasn't been juiced up yet, but it will allow us to navigate the game easily now. Our upcoming update is about shops and item acquisition. we have completed step 1/10 for our roadmap.
As always, dowload the latest version here , completely free whether you are a patron or not!
thanks again to everyone who supports us! We seriously couldn't do this without you guy...

I’ve got a pretty cool full time job, and while that might sound like bad news, I actually get lots of time to work on Charmixy. In addition, I have a little more pocket money! I’ve decided I’m going to invest a little of it in some cute pins to give to patreon backers.
backers at 10$ and up on patreon will have a chance to get these adorbs physical rewards. get in on it while you can!
2017-02-14 07:18:27 +0000 UTC View Posthey y’all, thanks for tuning in, and apologies as always for not keeping in touch. I have several announcements, all of which are GREAT news!
Are you a patron? get THREE MORE wallpapers here!
Salty and I are currently working on the shops, which means I have to pixel a lot of inventory items. But the fun part is, they can be turned into cute wallpapers. This one features all the cakes for the game...yum!
If you want this free wallpaper, just download the attachment below. Take care of yourselves, folks!

We've got a brand new build for the game folks, a little treat just in time for Halloween!
It's been a little sad this month knowing this was the time that Charmixy was originally promised to be done and released; this past year I've been dealing with blow after blow of having to compromise, cut, and delay a game that we pour blood sweat and so...

News of the 7th realm
Here’s what’s on the news: A few miles south of Stonybrook, a young witch was apprehended after crashing her broom through three fairy houses and plunging into the local watering hole. She was found to have been under the influence of intoxicating brews. Her pet cat, who was also riding the broom, jumped off right before the crash and landed on his feet, sustaining no injuries. The chief officer of witch safety, Joanna Howats, has a message for all ...

Salty told me it was ready today. I'm so stoked to finally put out our first patron-backed release! It's up on itch.io now if you want to mess around with it -- CharmixyV0.024 --notice how our last big release was V0.015? oh yeah, baby.

I've been making several character sheets, which means a ton of new pixel art!
keep an eye on our devblog at
http://charmixygame.tumblr.com/
to see new sheets for Brigette, Elton, Lydia, Fae, Alex, and more.
(I've noticed a recent uptick in patrons lately, expect a thank you post coming soon!)
I made some icons for the game, and they were so cute I thought I'd repurpose them into a couple of cute wallpapers! Here's one of them, and you can find the other one on the devblog:

these are UI and Mockups for planned activities players can do outside of battle mode. You can use loot you've found in the dungeon to craft pastries, or use money to customize your avatar!

this gif should give you a general idea of how gameplay works. you can read the full rules and download the alpha from the link below:

“In the dungeons, you must hunt for a treasure, but here they are lining the walls”
The library is the area where players can check out books that give them clues and information about the game world
this is (for the most part) the entire cast of Charmixy. All of the characters here have their own unique personalities and backstories that we're writing for the game!
players will be able to get treats from the cafe in town to give them small stat boosts in battle, or gift them to a friend or sweetheart to let them know they care!
this bad boy took me like, three days to make. I pretty much learned how to make pixel art throughout this whole process. I whip it out whenever I get the chance to--this is the level of detail and character I want my game to have!
Hi all! If you're checking this out, you're perusing my patreon to see what kind of stuff I make. Before I go officially public, I'll be putting some artwork made for my game to show you what your money will be helping me make more of!
If you've already followed me on tumblr, you'll have seen most of the following artwork before, but fear not! new posts will be coming very, very soon :D
