Pax+Ø = true love

some of you may know that afterbirth+ was demoed at pax last week, it focused mostly on mods but also spoiled a few new items and i felt it would only be fair to go into more detail on here.

depending no how you look at it, it was either lucky or unlucky that most of the items spoiled were on the mundane side, because at this point all items are unlocked and you could have seen some of the later unlocks and that would have spoiled a lot of the fun..

here they are in action all at once!

the rest of the items spoiled in the pax demo were all modded items that the team created just before the show… maybe a few will find their way into the official game.. and maybe a few of your own.. more on that later.

what afterbirth+ element do you want me to talk about in the next update? huh!? tell me on twitter.. i never check the messages here :|

LEGEND OF BUMBO! -



no new news this week, but we hope to start showing how the game actually plays puzzle wise soon, as well as the games story!

ØUROBOROS -



finally a name! Øuroboros or 0uroboros depending on if you like your zeros cut or uncut, is the official title of a project Tyler Glaiel and i have been working on for a little while now.

some of you may remember the main character(s) from a previous game of mine, Time Fcuk and its expanded version featured in the Basement Collection, but this is not at all a sequel.. in fact its not remotely a puzzle game at all.

the best way to describe it would probably be like if you took mega man, tossed him out of a moving car so fast it caused a tear in time and space that pulled our existence inside out. your guts being on the outside of your body would make it a lot easier to slide under doors and through the cracks in the sidewalk. writhing in pain as you slide deeper inside the earth, only to find yourself smashed against the veiny eyeball stalks of another iteration of you that seems to have slipped down here years ago. you guys have a long talk about your aches and pains but are suddenly interrupted by the gooey paper thin body of some other guy who looks exactly like you and your new best friend..

“who the fuck are you buddy?” you ask him… no reply..



“hey!, what gives!?” you scream at his elongated mess of throbbing entrails that slightly resemble a face.



“kiss me…” he murmurs, and you do, passionately and with purpose.

…

far away you can hear a faint voice say “… gay!”

you instantly recognize this voice as your own… loosen up whats left of your body and slide further into the earth, your tears only quickening the descent as you drop out of sight into infinity.

Øuroboros is an action based platformer/shooter with random level generation and the like, ala binding of isaac or spelunky, but… off.

no idea when it will be done, but its nice to have a title and finally give it a voice.

here is the last video we posted so this post looks cooler.

till next time!
