big head freaked-out Kal with a breather with a smaller costumed Kal on his head, reaching out to a green falling star that bounces of his head a few times. "If this be my fate. I be a child transfixed by a falling star. Completely. Totally. Alone." Jimmy takes his picture.
it's my birthday and I'm going to start posting some fan art of our favorite guy. Enjoy and more to come..

Still plugging away at the prototype. Iโm at another crossroads where I have about 50 things I could be working on but this week will be the busiest work week in a while and Iโm taking a few days here and there to paint some minis.
Iโm feeling like streaming dev again. Maybe next week.

that's annoying
In other dev news I now have moving platforms working, smoothed out the ledge climbing visuals, added a shadow decal, and setup costume and weapon switching systems.
Still proud of what I was able to do for my first game project with learning to code and make art but boy that bee is ugly and the controls are awful.
Iโll be trying to salvage Antonio and bits of Antfort but the rest will probably get replaced.
I was replaying the old Beeknighted demo to see what parts I can salvage and wow thereโs not much.
Iโm really glad I decided to restart from scratch because Iโm astounded players were as kind about the controls as they were. Iโve learned so much and the old code is so bad.
My new game is Encroacher: Snakes
It's a snake-tossing cryptic adventure coming 2026!
Itโs going to be a few weeks of less attractive updates for Beeknighted. Iโve been fixing bugs and Iโll be focusing on the โjuiceโ for a bit, facial expressions, particles, sounds, and such, along with prototyping some areas. Started composing a couple tracks too.
This is mega fucked up... and I hate the idea that this kind of stuff is going to get more and more prevalent as time goes on.
Mass report garbage like this and know what you're buying before you buy it. This includes Steam as well.
But tbh the idea of a splash screen feels a little performative to me, like if you canโt tell I made this then Iโve failed in some way.
Like Iโm the kind of control freak that refuses to use pretty much any premade assets to the point where Iโm considering trying to make even my own fonts. I compose music on paper and do concept art/level design in mspaint scribbles. No way Iโm getting near genslop.
Iโm considering making one of those splash screens for my games that says something like โ100% human made, no AI.โ I kind of loathe the thought of even having to but the infection is so widespread that I want it clear that everything you see and hear is my own mediocrity, not generative excrement.
Gad damn thatโs actually just the Zera demo with ugly color alterations and an AI cover isnโt it. Nintendo really doing their due diligence on that one. I imagine that means everything theyโve โpublishedโ is stolen. Hopefully thereโs a recourse for you, thatโs terrifying
New devlog up recapping the new controls Iโve been working on for Aife: microtonalmatt.itch.io/beeknighted/...
I started greyboxing the beehive a few days ago and discovered a horrible issue with how placing the bee at a position other than 0,0 and 0 rotation broke the whole controller. Spent the last couple days fixing that dumb global/local coords mistake but now weโre good.
Nioh 3 demo was great
Got ledge/wall climbing in a rough draft state
Finally got climbing animations finished and tweaked a few other animations. Iโll post a video once Iโve got climbing in engine. Got sick and lost my voice this week so Iโve been slacking on dev and just gaming in bed
Got rudimentary swimming working today
Still a little rough but I've got a start on strafing, dashing, vertical/horizontal attacks, charge attack and jump attack
Iโve been making a bunch of small tweaks to things in the Beeknighted prototype. Adjusting animations, playing with speeds and timings, fixing bugs as I discover them. Iโve got strafing implemented now though it still needs work. All basic attacks are in and I started ui/menus. Video update soon.
Metroid Prime 4 thoughts: when itโs being MP, itโs very good-great. When itโs doing anything else, itโs middling. Thereโs about 5-8 hours of really great game packed into a 20-30 hour playtime. The desert would have been 100% ok if the crystal grind wasnโt mandatory and it was treated like SotC.
Organizing a game jam at @hauntedps1.bsky.social
Can't wait! more info on 29th!

I got to do vertex color for some custom modded Crash Team Racing levels this year as part of a team, and now that the tracks have finally been released I can show off my contribution!
Here's a before an after of Arcane Garden and Kong Dungeon:
New devlog up detailing why Beeknighted went on hiatus and a recap of what Iโve been up to these past few years: microtonalmatt.itch.io/beeknighted/...
Also I finally got around to uploading TOFS from Madvent 4 as itโs own page: microtonalmatt.itch.io/this-ones-fr...
Jolly (spooky) season is here!
Madvent rises again!
More micro horror games for the holidays!
(Linkbelowwwwwww!)
"Madvent simply refuses to die."
Appreciate the Madvent 5 dev team for continuing this mad event. It's no small feat to organize and ship on time!
Since I didn't Direct this round, I'm excited I get to dive into a Madvent mostly blind!
WIP on the controls. Still lacking particles/sound effects/etc. so it's lacking a bit of punch atm but it's starting to take shape.
Basic movement including walking, running, jumping, flying, crawling, and dashing have all been re-implemented. That leaves strafing, swimming, climbing and a few other odd states left before I can begin working on combat and items. Video update soon.
