Hey folks,
I just finished another prototype today, that has some under-the-hood changes, some visual changes and most importantly, allows you to interact with points of interests (chests and post for now), as well as fog of war.
What you can't see yet, but will be a thing, is that enemies will be visible in the fog of war (if it re-appears), like other points of interest. They won't move though, until you see them again.
Details will depend on implementation, for that.

Hey folks!
I wanted to make a public post about the road map, I finished today.
A disclaimer though: This isn't a set in stone path, things might change over time, as prototypes reveal flaws, require other systems, etc.
it's more to give an idea of what to expect.
Prototypes you will see on Patreon only are for the systems of
- movement
- combat
- inventory (demo milestone)
- level generation
- NPCs
- additional monsters, items, etc.
- just ge...

A different game, but still transformation based!
This game will be a roguelike/dungeon crawler game, where you have perma TF instead of perma death!
Also it's supposed to be loosely related to Dungeon Misadventures (the kobold survival game). Both are just working titles, btw and I might change them, switch them, etc. We'll see!
Anyway, what will this game contain?
Current plan is that you will have 3 main classes to play. A warrior, a rogue and a mage.

So far, all you can do, is walking. But feel free to walk around and let me know how you like the animations for it.
More coming soon-ish, as soon as I have more working prototypes for other systems!
Just unzip and run the *.exe file. Windows only for now, as I work mainly on a Windows 10 PC. (It should work on Windows 7 too)
PS: the looks changed from the mockup to this already. I made that mockup long before making this prototype and some i...

Another update on Dungeon Misadventures!
Today a bit more on the meat, which is kobold customization, as the title says. There are planned some great ways to customize your kobolds.
Or rather, how your kobolds might look, as the different forms also have different meanings.
More or less, what you see, is how kobolds could look. There might be some customization, you can choose from (like fin shape, but not sure yet.
But enough about that, what does all of this mean?

So, the tier updates are done.
Most notably, I removed the itch integration completely. It was never used and never really worked either.
Also, I fixed the discord integration, so people should be added automatically again and assigned their proper roles. If not, please let me know here, so I can send you an invite link or change your role, accordingly.
Access to playable demos and game WIPS was moved from the 1€ tier to the 3€ one.

Well, a bit of an all around update post here now.
More or less, after thinking more, and a rather one sided poll, I decided to go with the subscription approach.
I'm switching over, as soon as other things are done.
The other things, will be new tiers. I'm going to rebrand a bit and move tier benefits around, add new ones and remove older ones.
I try to keep up with what you get, currently, and mostly add new things, but a few things will be moved. There are ideas already a...

So, Patreon has this option for some time now and bothering me to use it.
Problem: Once I switch to it, it's permanent. So I can't go back to how it is currently.
The current option has some benefits, but also some drawbacks.
I do prefer having things go through at the start of the month. All at once is pretty nice, also I feel for patrons it's nicer to have everything go through at one day. Best to keep an overview!
The drawback is, that people can pledge, ...

With the recent discovery that connected apps not working proper and also realizing that some benefits being a bit outdated, I'm going to change tier benefits soon.
I'm honestly not sure exactly how things will change, yet, but wanted to give an early warning.
The main things will likely be, that I'm changing things to providing extra information about game progress here, extra (game) art (maybe extra art benefits, like exclusive YCH and game inserts). Also playable demos and early a...

Hey folks,
over the past few days, I was sketching a few designs, here and there, and I plan on updating you on those now.
There will be an update every week (at least that's the plan) throughout January and maybe February, which depends on how much content I get together still).
So, what is this about?
In the game, you will have to defend yourself from attacking heroes, who like nothing more, but to pillage your dungeon and leave nothing behind.

Hello everyone,
I decided to make a bit of a mockup for a game I'm planning.
The base concept is rather simple. It's a survival game, where you manage kobolds (as a dragon) and try to increase your hoard.
Though maintaining your kobolds costs you, so it's not that easy.
A lot of things are still unclear and/or not decided yet, but here is the main features:
- kobold breeding (with optional sex scenes), to make perfect workers, or friends
-...

Hey folks!
Just a heads up, that I changed my currency to Euro (from USD). This change is long overdue, but also allows me to work better with my finances.
For old patrons, nothing should change, but make sure to change your pledge and change it accordingly, as EUR is a bit more expensive.
Thanks for all your support <3

Got a new game released, with the title of "Mx. Little Moo" (https://maxine-red.itch.io/mx-little-moo)
You can claim a copy of it, when you have pledged at least $1! Just go over there and link your accounts.
Of course you can still buy it too, it's just $1.99

New release from me though. Story mode is finished! So the game is more or less complete.

Hey folks!
I decided to make a small change to the Cowpoke tier!
This means, your character can be part of games, where it is applicable!
What does that mean? When I make an arcade game, and feel a character select fits, I make sprites of your character and include those, so people can pick your character to play as.
Of course, I need a(n up to date) reference and without one, you won't be included (or if you decide later to be excluded, I disable your chara...

Some additional info, before I go into further detail. This will be the last public demo, that gets content added to it! There will be Patreon only demos, with additional content and the public demo will get more core features.
That decision was made, to allow me to have a publicly available free demo. The idea is that you can ...

Hello folks.
New update with a bit of stuff.
I added in enemies, so you have win and lose conditions now!
Lose condition, is being hit by an enemy twice.
Win is collecting all progression items (pebbles)
Enemies spawn in randomly up to a maximum. The idea is that if they are taken out, new ones spawn in. So you will never have no enemies for long.
Currently they're stuck on easy difficulty (moving around randomly). Future plans are to also have them chase the pla...

You can only move (WASD or arrow keys) or change frame rate (1 through 6)
Win or lose conditions aren't set yet and there are no enemies. To get new maps, restart the game.
If you want to be able to change more, I have a patreon only version too, where you can do that!
Please leave some feedback on what framerates you prefer. I feel some are too slow, others too fast, so ...

A map generator for a new game. The working title is "Moo Pacman" so far.

Here are two algorithms in comparison, you can press "1" or "2" to get the specific type.
Pressing "R" generates more of the s...

No progression is really implemented.
Movement is with arrow keys. You can't jump. To get up, climb vines.
To generate a new dungeon, press R. It also resets more or less everything and you can explore the new d...

Hey folks,
well, it's not entirely new, but still!
I'm reworking Self.destroy() into a better game and got the ground work done.
The new version will be a rogue-like twin-stick shooter. Though with a few twists to itself.
So have a early peak into some features!
I'm also going to try to get the demo version more spread, to get more feedback in.
The test version will be Patreon only though, because it includes Patreon only features.

I don't know who will be affected, and it's pretty opaque from Patreon on what will actually happen.
Though I added benefits to tiers, so they should be able to properly do the thing and if you pay sales tax already, there shouldn't be any change at all.
There won't be any change though. It's still that you ge...
