Hey yall, Slaughter Void launches today in just a few hours; it's a game that wasn't supposed to get this far, that @smeli.bsky.social and I made together for fun a couple years ago. It would mean the world if you checked it out.

Go play this locally-grown grass-fed Chicago game! Got to play it at CIGS last year and it's come a long way since.
I pushed the button! Buy SOLARFLARE today, and tell me what difficulty you could clear, and how, so I can loudly congratulate you (and then maybe quietly nerf it a little bit).

Got brand spanking new inventory UI art thanks to the artist I work with (Ben Collie), feels great to upgrade this after such a long time having the temporary art. Old version in the thread.

This is the type of stupid stuff people re-post on Bluesky. How about instead of shaming the oppressed, you encourage them and try to build towards something better together 🤔

Here's a couple behind-the-scene views you will never see in-game. I really love the isometric view, would be fun to maybe re-visit this game as like a third person city builder or something.

Still ramping up towards the demo, working on a new trailer for it along with re-working the game loop after feedback from CIGS. Took catalog of all characters made for the game so far today, here they are.

Contracted the talented fernandobravan to make this fantastic capsule art. You can see the progress from the image I first sent him to the final art. (Thank god I can afford to hire an artist and don't have to use the first one)
