Boss Mary transformation from the OG Silent Hill 2. I manually created each frame with keyframe animation to build this effect back then.

A red headed man with glasses in a Yohji Yamamoto jacket and shorts (Cian) gives a peace sign while his eyes are closed. 

He is standing next to a statue of Danny Devito looking like a green ogre (Shrek).

A white box on a yellow background. Itโ€™s a submission page for Play date. It says:

โ€œThat's all. Thank you very much!!

You should get an email confirming that we got your submission. And thanks.โ€

A purple button under the previous text says โ€œTurtlesโ€.

A screenshot from a cutscene in Final Fantasy Tactics. Two people right chocobos against a mountain side as text is presented on the screen saying 

"But I do know this: the true hero of this tale was the man forgotten."

Hot take, but Final Fantasy Tactics might be a really good video game???

Aerodynamic Armored Soldier TURBOTROOPER by Cian Rice, Kohococoa Design works Slick twin stick shooting action at high speeds.

Just noticed that @michaelklamerus.bsky.social included my #BigmodeJam game in a blog!

Today's the last voting day, so I'd love if you played it. I think it's a fun take on Geometry Wars. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The title screen for a game called Armored Aerodynamic Solider Turbotrooper. A space ship is shown against a blue background, with three buttons. The top button says "Play" and is highlighted yellow.

Screenshot of a game. A space ship is shooting laser beams from a top-down perspective. Purple and red ships are flying towards the ship, and an orange ship can just barely be seen at the bottom edge of the screen.

My twin-stick shooter with a goofy, anime-inspired name is now available to try! Pretty happy with how this turned out, and definitely going to iterate on it some more.
