The last music track is finished! It’s for the Tavern level, you can listen to it here: http://weirdfellows.com/files/possession2/tavern.mp3 More excitingly, this marks the completion of the game! I’m setting the release date to July 18th. It will release in the afternoon EST. You might wonder, if the game is done, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
