Cosmic Raze, the 1st in my series of "Byte Size Games", has released into Early Access! I've made tons of prototypes, only to not finish them. A normal part of game dev is exploring concepts and seeing what works once it's out of your head (Narrator: Almost nothing).
This is about finishing what does work, but also about not spending a lifetime on each. Small games, for small prices, at a small cost to my days on this planet! #gamedev

The graphics in Cosmic Raze are intentionally lo-fi, and relatively simple, but I wanted to make sure the menus were juicy. #IndieGameDev #ScreenshotSunday #PixelArt #UI #gamedev

Cosmic Raze has evolved significantly since I 1st announced it. Never thought I'd make changes this drastic so late in development, but they were needed. It went from "Bullet Heaven w/ light Auto-Battler and Tower Defense elements" to "Tower Defense w/ light Auto-Battler and Bullet Heaven elements". And a pinch of roguelike elements too.

I rarely find room for personality, outside of art, in my games. But personality is a big part of my "Byte Size Games" initiative, because it's one of the few ways I can set myself apart in the crowded arena of games. So I'm putting my sense of humor front and center with the first of my many planned releases, Cosmic Raze.
