With new enemies, new weapons and a healing mechanic the combat dynamic has drastically changed since last time I posted 🙏

Still doing the holiday thing, but seeing it running is just something else you know. 👀
Anyone know of a way to have a cartridge made, even overwriting an old one would be cool, just to have a "real" one, haha!

I unfortunately don't have that many videos or pictures of me starting the project, but this is the first test running on the Vita from May earlier this year!
Don't know about you but I love seeing the early stuff, haha.

Thank you so much man, I'm glad you're enjoying it! 🙏
And stay strong, there'll be plenty more bosses in the future, haha! 💪
To all PS Vita players out there, Purified is a must. If you like 3rd person shooters and a good challenge, try this master piece created by
@BalderDragon
!
To me, is the most fantastic hombrew game ever!
(Warning: the bosses will try to make you their bitch ha ha)

Before I go back underground to do more work (and also celebrate Christmas) I'll leave you all with this.
Part Eva Unit, part Adam smasher and part Dancer of the Boreal Valley, the next Boss is Ripjaw.
She has an attack I currently only refer to as the "Akira Laser". 👀🙏

Going forward I'll be working on polish and more content, more levels, more weapons, more enemies and bosses!

Less than a week to beat the first level, I guess I'll have to go harder, haha!
Anyways, very impressive, thank you! ❤️
Today i installed Purified on my 2nd Vita, cause the game is so awesome that i wanted to play it on all of my Vitas. Somehow, i managed to beat the game in only two tries! It was one of the hardest games of my life. Totally worth it. Still, no secrets found.. u.u

But I have been giving myself time to breathe, between work and proper free time it's been hard to find energy for hobby gamedev sadly and trying to force it will just burn me out.

I also don't wanna downplay the help I got from my good friend, he did all the writing and all of the balancing, and plenty cool code! 🙏
A friend is making a baller game, and I had the privilige to help out! Been doing combat design, writing and dabbled in code on this cool project for the PS Vita. Go follow Balder for more footage!

Hey, sorry for the radio silence, I do have a habit of getting into some pretty severe slumps.
But, the last couple of weeks I've made a lot of good progress, not enough to give you guys a early Christmas present, but enough to post at least! 🙏

Hahah, I'm gonna be real, that's exactly what I'm going for. My design process is literally doing 90s-2000s tropes and designs to such an absurd degree that it wraps around to being cool again, or that's what I tell myself, I just like the vibes 🙏😂
