I made this insane trailer for "The Test of Insanity", and it's so stupid I couldn't help but share with everyone!



If you haven't yet, you should play the demo on Newgrounds:



And if you're in the mood for more insane levels, check out the full game on Steam!

It takes a big man to admit when they suck at something.


One thing I suck at is art. So I decided to commission an artist to redo the thumbnail for my game "The Terror of Mongolia".

I finally got a job after several months struggling and getting so sick of interviews.


Making games and sharing it with y'all players, whether you're on Newgrounds or other spaces, is one of my big passion.


That partly worked against me, but also partly worked in my favor in recent job interviews.


I was open about sharing the fact that I've always had that passion for making games, and that has made me who I am today as a software developer.


So now that I'm earning money again, I'd like to give some of that back with my one year supported membership.


I know some supporters do give more, but I'm pretty cheap.

KC and I just worked on a game that defies logic. Introducing:


THE TEST OF INSANITY


What's interesting is that we started working on an RPG, and seeing the amount of work we had to put in, we started to go a bit insane. So instead, we dropped the initial idea and built this game.


See if you can pass all 10 levels before going insane:



But the true test of insanity comes into our full version with 50 crazy levels!

Play it on Steam, and check the trailer below:

Hi there,

So I've been making games for a while on Newgrounds, and these days I'm looking for contributors to help grow my open source project: A JavaScript game engine.


https://dev.to/jacklehamster/im-looking-for-contributors-for-my-open-source-project-33ac



I think using JavaScript is a great way to make games, because they can be shared on the web through Newgrounds or other portals, but also they can be exported to executable and released on Steam or phone games released on Android / iPhone.


If you love to make games, and you're looking for a nice engine to use, well this one is in development but we're getting there!


Feel free to ping me as well if you're an artist and have a game idea in mind. I'm trying to make this game engine easy to use even for non-programmers.

A few weeks ago, I participated in #js13k gamejam (https://js13kgames.com/#winners) and made a rogue-like shooter that fits in 13kb! My game ended up with πŸ†#12 spot! (ok it was mainly thanks to "theme"... but whatever.).


This is the post-jam release, with more features! And a bunch of medals to collect! I know y'all love it.

πŸŽ– πŸ†πŸ…πŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯‰


Check it out! and Have fun!

Hi everyone,


I just put out Dobuki's Epic Journey at the highest possible discount, for a limited time. It's now so cheap it is practically free...


Why so cheap?


  1. So I can gift it to my friends on Steam because I think they'll love it.
  2. Also, the game is actually free on Newgrounds if you can still run Flash. So a bunch of you might have already played it, and if you love it, I hope you'll do the same :-)

I'm re-releasing Dobuki's Epic Journey on Steam!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/2453320/Dobukis_Epic_Journey


Note: The game is not being remade, it's just going to be released as is for very cheap. But hopefully, if the game gets enough attention, I can try to build a sequel.


If you haven't played it yet, make sure to Wishlist. The game is coming out in 2 weeks!

Fan arts will be displayed randomly as loading screen, or can be viewed at your own pace within the gallery in the "Extra" section.


Please contact me if you'd like to contribute with some more fan art!
