Happy Valentimes day! Back in 2019 I compiled a "Sylvie Collection" of all my past released games in one download. The collection is now updated to include all games up to the end of 2024, and they're packaged with a new launcher program. Enjoy your life - Sylvie

adding some very nice QOL UI to wizpunks atm
and i'm thinking about adding something that will change how the game plays out (and also its easy to code)
a parry/shield that can be used to protect yourself from spells
if you're at IGDAM next week, it'll be there to test!
that would be pretty cool
An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didnβt secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. Weβre exploring what comes next & want your input.

ended up rapturing my wizards. whoops
1000 wishlists AND 1000 demo downloads for WIZARD PUNKS!!! woo!!!
if it weren't so late at night I would go and acquire a victory crossaint
so i'm working extra fast to implement the multiple levels of difficulty and fix up some bugs
the AI in wizpunks is currently a bit Stupid
both in being too dumb and too difficult to defeat. somehow at the same itme
now normally this is not an issue that effects me, the developer, the perfect player, and so on
except there's a demo out!!! ahh!!!
Find love in the darkest night in romantic horror narrative game DrΔculeΘti π¦
Coming to Early Access (PC/Mac) on 2nd March 2026
