Hi everyone 😊 This marks 7 years of monthly DevLogs 🙀
Super Night Riders 2016
As planned, I've completed the Nintendo Switch port which passed certification 😋
Pre-orders starts on May 18th with a release on May 25th worldwide 😁
The game will be priced $4.99 + 10% discount during the launch period.
Mistakes were made
While working on this port, thought it was a good occasion to release it on more platforms.

I've worked on a few cutscenes. Also received one new illustration from the portrait artist.
For the dialogues portraits, I usually commission one illustration and make the variations myself.

Hi everyone 😉 So, here's the first DevLog of the year 😊
Light Fairytale Episode 1
While working on the Nintendo Switch port, I've been playtesting the game a lot, so I've decided to implement quite a few new things 😅
So, I've switched back to the Steam version, as it is easier for implementing new features.
The major new change is the increase in font size. It's now much more readable on small handhelds down to 5.5".

Hi everyone 😊
As you might know, all of my games on Steam have a built-in stereoscopic 3D (S3D) mode, that you can view on a 3DTV, or a VR headset using Virtual Desktop.
I'm actually a big fan of S3D but still consider that even now, there isn't a single device that can output decent S3D without any drawbacks, such as loss in image quality / resolution, cross-talk, discomfort etc.
