Many many thanks for the feedback during this journey!
Half artist, half tech guy, ...fueled by your awesome feedback via Reviews and Steam Community Hub, I am in a constant quest to develop your requested gameplay experiences. 95% of the time I have to develop and test each step, producing different products that merge and blend, creating more complex stuff. UBERMOSH gave us a solid gameplay, but the framework needed to be rebuild from scratch to allow something past OMEGA.
I started working on a smarter AI that could predict movements and a different way to deal with the topdown animations and particles... that study spawned QUICKERFLAK. Ruthlessmod improved the SWARM AI from Swarmriders, leading to a "smart slime" that may appear in a sequel of a drifter game that nobody is asking for. The quest for an ENDLESS UBERMOSH, that works with the heavy zoom of the first game, the particles and smart AI from QKF and the pumping drums of the TTV series are summoning BULLETHELL, my "hardest to balance" title so far, that will stay a few months on Steam Early Access and, it will be the nicest to have you aboard during the development!

Howdy folks! I hope you are all having a pretty decent time!

I am working on my largest project so far, not saving on the dark guitar fuzz, heavy contrast, and tribal drums (this explains the launching gap).

During the breaks, I am addressing some tweaks on Steam community items, like Trip to Vinelands and TTV2 Steam cards, that were made with photos of the real location that inspired the series. The next community items may be AccrO cards (and an expansion of the flyable map), Swarmrider Omega cards and I am checking my old hard drivers for nice UBERMOSH concept images for more community items (heavily asked on the Stem hubs).

The production pace is kinda slow due to the handcrafted nature of my work. I am doing my best!

Many many thanks! I will keep the updates here

I consume indie stuff. You don't? Weird music with AM static, short movies with shifted hue, fuzz pedals with just one knob, barely functional niched objects... the developer doing its own thing.
We try these artistic experiments, it fuels our soul to do our own stuff...
...talking about artistic treats, please, please, check this one. It's for you.
I hope you have a great time.

This development journey is pretty experimental. And guided by you.
I have close to 5k reviews on my games, and I use it as a beacon of light, showing errors and pointing to gameplay experiences that I will develop for this awesome community. A nice teamwork!
I tried several times to find a way to improve the TTV series, creating something that deserves to exist, still a TTV game, with a complex but not impossible gameplay. It worked, and will be launched in 3-5 weeks.
There is a delay from when I read the review/hub feedback to the finished product. The news today is the _RUTHLESSMOD of QUICKERFLAK, made following players feedback, with an all-new soundtrack.

About the delay... I am finishing the new TTV ost and soon I will work on the roguelike stuff, aimed for later this year.
Many many thanks for your company during this trippy art journey!

Do you "mod" your stuff?
From changing car mufflers to mirror polishing the edge of my knives, modding was always a thing in my spare time. Modding guitars and pedals pointed me toward the signature fuzz sound you can hear in my music, and modding games moved me to the game development.

It would be awesome to play "ruthless" versions of my favorite titles from the past. Faster and with some extra stuff to spice up the challenge.

What I can do today is offer you a _RUTHLESSMOD version of some of the titles I launched. I am working on a tweaked TTV, and here is a QUICKERFLACK_RUTHLESSMOD ready for you to play right now!

I put extra six months of development inside the classic title, increasing the number of special units, adding full_auto, adding a "moving mass" unit, making a new procedural code to fit the extra challenge, and recording an all-new soundtrack.

I hope you can take a little break in your day to enjoy the hotter combat and test your reflexes.
Many many thanks!
