Plans for this month :)

 Hey guys, wanted to take a minute to go over my plans for this month

Main focus will be finishing Nightripper and Buzz-Saw Blood House. Like 100% finished

BSBH will be updated first. A lot of content was actually made for the game, an opening, a backstory and everything, but in the rush to get it released on Halloween, I had to leave it out. A lot of the music also got cut, so expect more story in the final version. The current one is a bit bare-bones.

A Nightripper update is...

BSBH - Version 0.1 is up!

0.1.5 is now up

Been working on this for the past two days. It's 100% complete yet but I'' be posting a future update to add the content I didn't have time to include.

October Patreon game is in the works (Spoilers)

This is a bit different than my previous stuff in a few ways. I've imported the dismember system I made for Texas Butch (check out the video). I don't want to reveal too much yet but I really like where the concept is going


A Nightripper update is also on the way (need to fix that sliding) And an a...

Nightripper 0.4 coming

Sorry for the delay, a new Nightripper update is coming.

After more testing, I think I've figured out the cause of a major bug that prevents the ripper from spawning in the second half of the game. 

If you haven't encountered him after the crackden, I'll be fixing that with this update. I've also added updated the crackden layout. The 0.4x cycle will improve all existing interiors.

There's just so much work left, I don't think the 100% full version will be ready by the end of ...

New shirts are available!

My new shirt site is up!

Babysitter Bloodbath shirts are finally available, along with Power Drill Massacre and a Minotaur shirt. I'm limited to 5 items a month, so I'll be rotating to new stuff in november.

The print quality is really actually really nice and the shirts are soft. So glad I switched from redbubble. Get in contact if you want something printed on a different color or type of shirt.

Nightripper - Controller Support Update`

Controller support is here! Sorry for the delay. It's honestly not a trivial thing to implement, especially when it comes to selecting the right ui buttons on different menus. 

The new version is available in the original post 

Realistically, the full version of the game isn't going to be ready this week. Hopefully I can have it out by the end of next week

Nightripper - Full version plans

Here are some things I have in mind for the full version of the game coming soon. Some may or may not make it. Let me know if you have any other suggestions


  • Controller support. This is the big one. Working on that next and will release an update as soon as it's ready
  • Added interiors and new textures / furnishings so the buildings look better
  • Some more details on the exteriors - Billboards, more graffiti and other landmarks so you can find you're way around ea...

Nightripper - Alpha 0.2.5 and Walkthrough video

The Nightripper update is out! The download link is located in the original demo post  along with notes about the update.

I also streamed a walkthrough game recently in case you get stuck. Spoiler warning - It's probably more fun to figure it out on your own. I actually didn't beat it in the video but I go through most of the game

Nightripper - Saturday morning release

New screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/TIgEJ

Trying to cram as much as I can into the game before release.

  • I added a new starting area. Feel like it helps the pacing a bit
  • New costume. The main character should be wearing work clothes. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. Changing into your normal clothes will be an option too.
  • Fixed psx mode. The polarizer was way too high. It  would be f...

Male character wanted

UPDATE: It's been filled. Thanks guys!

I'm making one more male character* to include in Nightripper and I could use your help. If anybody is interested in being a character in the game just message or email me with a photo of your face in decent lighting (as few shadows as possible). Whoever responds first is in!

What you and your friends don’t know is that inside the house lives an ancient sorcerer, a master of the dark arts. He has sacrificed many to giv...

Added a few interiors. Trying to think of secrets

Ai improvements are finished and things are working great! Also made huge updates to the music system to go along with the update AI. Sound is probably the most important thing to get right. Layering tracks and ambient sounds is possible, as well as adjusting the music procedurally according to whats happening. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/qAif4WLwfRE (multiple tracks playing at once). Next on the list is game controller...

Nightripper Opening

The last 1% takes the longest. All those little details. But this is almost done. Just bug fixing at this point, meaning I have to play through the game about a million times

Need some extra time :(

I adjusted and added a few new scenes that I think really improve the game and set the proper tone. Thought the last level was a flat and needed a puzzle. I'm expecting this to be done monday or tuesday. Personally feel it's shaping up to be a better game than PDM. Not bad for a week and a half of dev time ;)

FMV cutscene teaser

A video cutscene is actually happening! Shot on VHS of course. Here's a little teaser. The full version is brilliant.

Thanks to Kelvin Kurasaki who filmed and directed it. Hope to keep working with him in the future on more of these. He does awesome work!

I lost some work from the other game randomly. Everything was fine, then all my scripts disappeared from the inspector. When I got them back, some of my state machine graphs had been wiped out. :(

Driving scene

I wasn't totally sure about a driving scene, but without a decent transition between the apartment and the party, the pace of the game is a little weird. Trying to do things as quick and easy as possible so I went with the old background projector trick

the car isn't actually driving but some bounce and a scrolling background make it look that way
