We uploaded a new trailer of our upcoming game, and also added new screenshots that show better the current state of the game.

We are very close to finish its development, and the release date remains 18th Feb 2022. We hope you like the new trailer!

We’re so excited to make this happen! (〃＾▽＾〃) ​
Check us out for exclusive goodies (such as a free supporter mini-guide), physical rewards and more!


To thank everyone for supporting our Royal series so far, we’re holding a raffle to win beautiful artworks from Royal Order’s art team :D

The raffle is hosted on Gleam. If you’re not familiar with their services, here’s a quick guide on how to join.

I know some people were requesting the OST be released on Steam, and I said I'd put it on the backburner. Well, it's officially done now. If you'd like to further support my work, you can get the soundtrack here:

Otherwise, the OST has been available on Youtube for some time on the official Studio Land channel, so you can find it there too.

It's been a while since I released any news, hasn't it? I said a while back that I was working on a second game, and that was several months ago. I've been working on it on and off from season to season. In truth I have been very busy doing some personal work, so it slowed development a little bit... but I'm still working on it. I don't want to make an official announcement until it's ready.

I also don't want to give out any details because nothing is set in stone during development (I could tell you the game features X and Y and then later decide to remove those features, which would be pretty unfortunate). That being said, you can probably expect the game to use the same battle engine as Magellania, but take place in a completely unrelated setting. This will also be the last time (in a while) I make a turn-based tactics game. If and when I get to the third game, it will be a different genre, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself here. Just know that I haven't stopped working on the game and you'll probably see an announcement sometime in the future.

That is all.

Hi Folks!



As a follow on from the last update of myself moving house, progress on Hellscreen has been a little slow, particularly as my new internet has had some teething problems (grrrrrrrrr!)




The old place (and one-third of everything I had to move!)



The FIRST thing you set up when you move is the sound system and the retro games to display.




I also managed to go to the Brighton Develop conference where I met some cool game dev folks. It wasn't my first develop but it also leaves me feeling buzzed!
Safe to say, after the last few weeks, I am exhausted but super keen to get back into HS development which brings me neatly onto the latest prop I have prototyped.

I bashed out a spiked wrecking ball quite quickly (no texture work yet!).
These will cause damage to the player as well as enemies and can be shot to get moving (if you have the right weapon!).

The wrecking ball is in motion.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all for this week but expect more in the next update as I finally settle into the new place.



Please do share and wishlist if you haven't already - it really helps out small developers like myself!


Wishlist here!



Cheers!
