Hi there,

I'm releasing the full walkthrough for my game "The Supernatural Power Troll", all levels from 1 to 50 including all boss fights.

You can find the game here:

Hello everyone,

I'm starting a new YouTube channel: Game Developer with Big Nuts

It's dedicated solely on game development, and should be fairly novice friendly.

• Start from scratch building a simple webgame in Vanilla JavaScript
• Evolve the game with more features, use JS game engines to make your game more performent.
• Package the game as a desktop app so you can release it on Steam.

Here's the channel:

And the first two videos:

Enjoy!

Huge announcement 🎺. I'm releasing a new game on Newgrounds:

The SUPERNATURAL POWER TROLL

A game where you're a troll that grants superpowers to humans against their will.

This game is also being released on Steam.

In the past, I've put games both on Steam and Newgrounds, but since the Newgrounds version was free, I would remove some levels and made it a demo.

I didn't want to do it this time. I want Newgrounds player to experience the FULL GAME! And that's what you're getting. All levels, all bosses, all cutscenes! Basically the ENTIRE GAME from start to finish!

So yeah, I'm releasing the entire game on Newgrounds.

That said, to distinguish with the Steam version, I'm putting ads.

I know some of you might find ads to be intrusive, but I think I found a way to make them more personal:

The ads will entirely consist of MY OWN ADs! Basically I'm just advertising my own games and music through those ads. That way, you know I'm not just trying to sell you random shit.

The Steam version also has a level editor, which is inaccessible unless you're a premium member. However, I still wanted for Newgrounds users to edit levels, so I found a way:

If you happen to be a Newgrounds supporter, you have FULL access to the level editor for free! Also, when you watch an ad, as a Newgrounds supporter, you can skip after 10 secs and still get an extra ❤️.

I don't actually get anything from you supporting Newgrounds, but I thought it'd be a nice way to give back to the community.

That said, the game isn't actually very expensive on Steam, so I would just get it if I were you 🤑.

This all might seems a bit complicated, but hopefully at least, you can just play the game and enjoy it.

And one last thing...

Happy Holidays everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025.

I feel 2025 is going to be a great year. I'm collaborating with Big Nuts Games to release new great games that are expected to blow your mind!

If you like it, there are 50 puzzles like this in our Android game, "Test of Insanity":

Oh yah, that's the full version of the demo released on Newgrounds:

Hello all,

I hope you're having a good week.

A puzzle platformer about to be released for Newgrounds

I wanted to share some update. There's an upcoming game I've been working on, and would like to share some progress.

I just had NotebookLM AI generate a video discussing about the game.

Note, the game is all handcrafted, not AI generated (except for NPC dialog).

That said, the video shows pretty accurately what you might find in the game:

The bots seem to be pretty excited about the game, even though I only fed them my source code and readme 😛

Does this game sound too good to be true? Their description is actually pretty accurate! (for the most part).

The game is pretty close to done, but there are still pending questions. Please share your thoughts in the comments:

• How extensive should the level editor be?
• How should I monetize? Full version on Steam vs demo version on web?
• Should I just release the entire game for free and try to monetize via Patreon?
• I really want to add more cutscenes, but how can I introduce those without distracting from the game.

Talking about Patreon

I'm trying to setup a new Patreon page:

https://patreon.com/dobuki

I don't really know how to set that up, but I'm learning.

• What would you except to see on a Patreon page? (free vs paid members)
• What would make you want to get if you were to pay for a subscription on Patreon?
• Are there other way to monetize games while releasing them for free on the web?
• Any suggestion on how to make my Patreon page look good? (I know it looks like crap right now, I just started. But if you had some examples of good Patreon page, I'd greatly appreciate)

Please share your thoughts!

Ciao, and have a good weekend!

😉

Hello gamers,

we are currently working on the mobile version of "The Test if Insanity"

So we're running an early playtest. This means you'll get to try the game on Android before release for free!

That's the full version, which includes 50 levels (so 40 more levels on top of the Newgrounds version)!

If you own an Android phone and you're interested, please message me directly. We'll just need your email to get you signed up.

Cheers!

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.
