I make games. Cloudbase Prime, #JARPUG, etc. I also make comics sometimes.
Thanks for the #SteamNextFest feedback and wishlists for Match Shot Chimera!
DID YOU KNOW that you can review demos on Steam, and that can really help the game? The form only shows up after you install the demo, so it's easy to miss!
If you enjoyed the demo, please consider leaving a review❤️
#screenshotsaturday I've been working on this new character and his shield for my match-3 shmup! His name is Wally.
Shielding will eventually break the block you're holding, but that will also drop a fresh shield wall for you.
This is Perry!
I reworked my player prefab structure so that I can drop in a child prefab of "character bits" for things like character model, unique skills, etc.
Time to have fun with new character models! #gamedev
It's funny how hard it is to track where my game's traffic is coming from.
Hundreds of folks were watching Match Shot Chimera's stream on Steam, and my referral stats are mostly "direct", probably because people searched for the game directly after seeing it on a stream... somewhere... I found nothing 🤷♂️

I actually do need help deciding on this new capsule art. Does this improve enough while still being clear? The subject of the art is certainly a bit odd! I can see it being too messy now. #gamedev #steam
I’ve been informed that bunny ears were deployed for multiple minutes. Devastating.
Streaming now for #SteamNextFest!

Hats by grandma because kid wanted to stream with me... didn't tell me I had a magikarp whisker up my nose. Well played.

Match Shot Chimera's new demo is out!

Improved game-feel and effects and tons of tweaks and fixes!
Wishlists and reviews are hugely helpful.
It looks like Cloudbase Prime’s dynamic res and shadow quality code works on Nintendo Switch 2, resulting in full 1080, higher fps and nicer shadows!
It’s nice to see this #gamedev pay off years later :).
I wish it magically ran at 4k too, but it’s just running as a switch 1 game!
@slembcke agreed! I think a red flash, bigger burst effect, and music ducking will help things. I'm in the middle of an update emphasizing explosions/reactions like that and I'll definitely look at this closer now.
Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback!
I've been fiddling with post-processing to improve the feel of explosions in my match-3 shmup, but I ALSO used it to improve the outline renderer enough I'm tempted to make it the default... what do you think? #gamedev

Tell me what you think!

This is Match Shot Chimera, my match-3 shmup. A new alpha demo's coming to Steam soon!

hey #screenshotsaturday! This was miniboss week! I present the fearsome CLAM and... hungry rocket!
Hey #screenshotsaturday! I've been working on a comic intro cutscene for Match Shot Chimera! I think I've got the right timing and title transition now.
Hopefully I use this comic cutscene workflow again. It took some doing.

The match-3 shmup is fun. I'm hoping this story will make it stick. #gamedev
Most UIs can be improved by an extra eyeball.
I made Match Shot Chimera's level up screen gooier and drew icons!
#gamedev #indiegame
Match Shot Chimera's got a new alpha!
It's a match-3 shmup!

This update adds a tutorial, randomized levels, heal-when-matching upgrades, and sharkbots with homing bullet teeth.
I'd love to hear what you think!
Spring break is far from a break for me, but I’ve painted an upgrade for Match Shot Chimera’s title screen!
