Possession: Music Update

Things are still coming along. Work on music is a big slow going because creating music digitally isn’t something I have a ton of experience with (and really, creating music period isn’t something I’ve done much of since I was in a band back in high school!) I’ve got a […]


Possession: Beta Almost Ready!

Sorry for the radio silence. This summer has been crazy busy for me. I moved, and then spent almost as much time out of town as I did in town. But I’m happy to announce that as of yesterday, Possession is finally gameplay complete! Now, it’s not ready for release […]


Possession: Happy New Year

Happy New Year! It’s still January here so I can still say that. Here’s where things stand for Possession going into 2018… First of all, I thought I’d changed the Steam release date from January 2018 back in December, but apparently I didn’t save it, so it was still showing […]


Possession: Final boss done, stats screen and progress announcement

So this past week we hit a big milestone. After nearly four years in development, Possession is finally winnable! The final level and final boss have some special mechanics going on, but now they’re implemented (at least as a rough first pass, I’m sure when testing comes in there’s going […]


Possession 2 is now Possession…also, Steam Page!

A couple of announcements. First of all, I’ve finally decided to just call the new game Possession, for reasons detailed in my earlier post. Second, and more exciting, the Steam page for Possession is live! If you’re a Steam user and you’re interested, go ahead and wishlist or follow it […]


Possession 2: Updates

These past few weeks have actually been very productive, last week especially. In fact, this past Sunday I actually worked pretty much a full 8-hour workday, which I don’t even know if I’ve ever done before on a personal project. Definitely not since I’ve been keeping track. I’ve completed animated […]


Possession 2: One year later…

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 […]


Possession 2: Fun with Checkboxes

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 […]


Possession 2: Fear and Loathing Part 1 (Fear)

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 […]
