Wow, I knew it had been a while since the last post, but I didn’t realize it had been a year. Hold on, this is gonna be a long one. For a while, I wasn’t really doing much work on Possession 2 at all. Actually, going by my notes, from May […]
Part of the original plan for PBN was switching out societies every few rounds to keep things fresh. Unfortunately, this never really happened, in part because societies took a ton of work to make (had to make new spells, probably new creatures, multiple new missions) and only a portion of the […]
Putting Possession 2 up on Greenlight was a bit nerve-wracking. It’s the first time that the game was going to be exposed to the general public. Luckily, comments seem to be mostly positive (at least the ones I could understand), and the negatives have mainly focused on the graphics, which […]

In games like this, almost everything is usually trying to kill the player. It makes sense from a gameplay perspective, of course. Monsters are there to be obstacles standing between you and your goal. In the Possession games, you can even make an argument that makes sense from a narrative standpoint: people and […]
It’s taken me way too long to write this. In part, because it’s been hard to. Writing this feels like it makes it official. I’ve even had it written for a few months, just haven’t posted it. But, if anyone is still out there to read this, I guess better late […]
So much for pre-written posts preventing me from going months without a post. I could make excuses, I could call myself a garbage human being, but whatever. It is what it is. It just worries me, because I know that marketing is really what determines how well your game’s going […]
Not all the creatures in the caves are mindless monsters that will attack until one of you is dead — though some particularly stubborn, foolish or brave ones will. Most creatures in the game have a fear value that can cause them to run away if it gets too high. When a creature […]
The most recent feature I’ve added to the game is (are?) lit areas. They were a planned feature that got cut pretty early on, since it wasn’t necessary, and I didn’t want to waste time on it. But then I came up with an ability that required it, so I went […]
It’s been almost five months since the last blog post, I guess we’re long past due for another one. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten nearly enough work done considering the amount of time that’s passed. In truth, missing my one-year deadline kind of bummed me out for a while, and then the holidays came […]
