100 bucks

The Patreon page has crashed through the $100 ceiling, completely breaking it and leaving only destruction in its wake. A thank you of massive proportions to anyone supporting me over the years, now or in the past. I initially made this page on a whim, I'm glad that it actually went anywhere. I'll try my best to not let you d...

Pent and its distant future

Summer's done searing,
Smell of mushrooms, coloured leaves,
Autumn's way too short.

Anyway, time to look back at my most recent game, what I've been up to recently and what I'll finally be working on again for quite a while.

A Quick September Update

Tl;dr: Break -> Ludum Dare -> Quecto, maybe halloween -> CT

I realised I've been quiet on here for a whole month. It's only fair that you get updated once in a while. What next? The answer is more concrete than usual.

New game: Pent's Wacky, Zany Road Trip to Adulthood

Casper van Dommelen post New game: Pent's Wacky, Zany Road Trip to Adulthood from patreon

Well, I hope that was worth the wait, because this one took forever. I sincerely have no idea if people will like this one; I've yet again shaken things up a bit and tried some different things. None of my games have had this much dialogue, that's for sure. Anyway, without furhter ado:

New Quality Quecto and shmups

Casper van Dommelen post New Quality Quecto and shmups from patreon

Context and such

It's gotta happen someday, right? At some point in the future I'll finally succeed in making a fully-fletched shmup that's actually good. For those unaware, shmups refer to the shoot 'm up genre of video games. The ones where you control a small player, shooting and dod...

May 2024 Update, Stuff and also a Quecto too as well

I took way too long to put out another one of these posts, so let's get right into it.

Currently

My current project is something that, if I do indeed finish it (which is very much the plan) and release it as a web game, will be one of my largest games. I had hoped to get it done last month,...

Mollusca Prototype

Casper van Dommelen post Mollusca Prototype from patreon

I made an early prototype of a top-down, action-adventure with a bunch of bullets and some puzzles. It's web-based, so no spooky scary downloads. Go play it!

This is the result of messing about with the genre in Lampyrid Fog. I have no idea when to finish this and in what form, but at least there's already some decent s...

Almost February Update

In short

Working on multiple, previously mentioned things, it's going well and I'm looking forward to releasing things more frequently when those are done, I'll be releasing an early prototype of one of those projects in less than a month and also there's a new Quecto for >=$3 tier patrons bye.

2023's final updates and Quecto

Quectooooo~

I've been informed that today is, in fact, the Christmas. What better way to celebrate than with a brand new Quecto game (I can think of a couple, but let's move on)! Any Patron who has at least the Tower Climber (>=$3) tier can download the updated version 2023-12-25 13:10:47 +0000 UTC View Post

New Quecto! And some small updates~

For >= $3.00 Patrons (Quecto):

New month, new Quecto! This specific month brings you something completely different from last month: a fishing game. One that is actually, unironically, no-string-attached, meant to be sort of relaxing. We also see the introduction to badges: each Quecto will have a No...

Quecto Games

Here it is! The first of the monthly "Extremely Small Games", the >= $3 tier reward is done.

What?
Quecto Games (or Quectos) is a collection of very small games. It's an outlet for whatever I feel like. A Quecto could be a concept for a game that I didn't think could be something bigger, a little ...

Quick update

Lost in Lampyrid Fog released little over a week ago and that's going well. After my hiatus I did forget one thing though: namely how exhausting a release is mentally. At least for me. As such, the first batch of the $3 tier rewards are taking a bit longer than I have previously stated, but I'm back at work again. The first "...

New game: Lost in Lampyrid Fog

Casper van Dommelen post New game: Lost in Lampyrid Fog from patreon

Well, that took a while, but I've finally released a new game. If you liked Lost in Firefly Forest I'm 96% sure you'll like this one as well, since it's based on that. Lost in Lampyrid Fog got a bit bigger than its predecessor though, so finding your way might prove even more challenging!

Updated tiers!

Tiers have been updated, I think you have to manually switch to a higher one, even if your monthly contribution is already enough for it. The timing's a bit awkward, as I'm releasing a full game this week, but also want to release the "extremely small games" for the >=$3 tier asap so you can play them. I'd like the demo of...

March 2023 Update

For the last couple of months, my work has been spread on so many different projects, it feels like I'm accomplishing a lot and very little at the same time. There's been progress on Sunken City, on some webgames I intend to release soon, and on a significant number of side projects that could go anywhere. While trying out ne...

Flower Flight prototype

Casper van Dommelen post Flower Flight prototype from patreon

Hello~

Here's a prototype for a challenging, mouse-based skill game, for patrons only.
Unlike most of my work, this one's a downloadable for Windows. That allowed me to make it look a little bit fancier than usual. And it was just way more convenient.

Changing my Patreon page

I originally made this Patreon page because I noticed there was an interest (albeit limited) in making donations for my work. As such, I never really expanded upon a basic Patreon page that fulfills that purpose. Time to change that a bit. Consider this post an announcement, these changes are to be implemented next month.

July 2022 update

Hey, hope you're having an at least relatively acceptable summer. Here's an update on what I'm doing right now and what I will be doing in the (near) future.

Right now I'm working on multiple projects, namely:

Stone Blast Prototype

As I've mentioned in my previous post, here's the Patron-exclusive release of how far I got with a shmup before I abandoned it indefinitely. During development I came to the realisation that my approach for designing this project didn't quite work for this genre. Being used to platformers, puzzle games, and everything in betw...

This game isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future, but a fair chunk of it is perfectly playable. Figured I might as well share it with just you. Just click the link above and see how far you can get, if you'd like.
Note that it lacks sound effects here and there and ends a bit abruptly. One other reason I've halted ...
