 Happy 38th birthday, Metroid!

Happy 8th birthday, AM2R!

It's anniversary day, and this year was truly special.

Since the last blog post, two of the projects I worked on were released. 

No Rest for the Wicked is an isometric souls-like with beautifully crafted environments, rewarding exploration and lots of verticality. 

Being able to finally share what I've been working on at Moon Studios is super rewarding. I'm super proud of the world we crafted, and seeing people discover it and enjoy the exploration is truly magical.

The game was released in Early Access on Steam, if you want to contribute with the development of this game, feel free to give it a try and leave your feedback.

A couple of weeks ago, Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus was released.
A hand drawn metroidvania, inspired by Japanese folklore. I was in charge of level design, and other tasks to bring this world to life. If you enjoy challenging platforming and cute, memorable characters, you should give it a try.

It's available on these platforms: Steam - Nintendo Switch - Playstation - XBox


It's been a pretty busy year, I even had to postpone the Skippy update. But it'll be worth the wait.
As always, thank you for the support. 

See you next year!

Nintendo of America, Inc. has filed a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). I received the request on my personal email, so I'm complying with their requests. There will be no more AM2R updates, and no more releases under any platform.  Thank you for the support during all these years.

The future of AM2R

By -
As you may know already, AM2R received DMCA notices in all the download hosts, and some parts of this blog. So far, no C&D letter was received.  This project began a long time ago, while I was actually trying to learn the programming side of Game Maker. Instead of moving on with something else, when I learned a better way of doing something, I reiterated and improved the old code. Eventually, I learned to program in C#. Now I'm making a living as a professional programmer thanks to what I learned developing a fan game.  Technically speaking, I'm satisfied. Artists started offering help. First with the main enemies, then with sprites, enemies, bosses. The forums started to come alive with fans making feature suggestions, and always being positive and optimistic about the project. I added new contents, trying to be respectful about the established lore. Demo after demo people liked the game. Then the game was out, and for a brief time, players enjoyed the game they

 Today is a special day. Metroid , a game franchise from which I learned a lot about game design, was released 36 years ago. AM2R , my personal 10 year project from which I also learned a lot, was released 6 years ago. Skippy the Bot , the most popular of my little games on Itch, is now 1 year old. I'm still working full time as a game designer, and there's a lot I'd like to show you. Don't worry, I'll be posting here as soon as I can reveal anything. To celebrate the occasion, I released a huge update for Skippy.  Double the amount of levels (20) New water physics mechanics Episode and level select menus Record and collection tracking Flatpak release for Linux / Steam Deck users Many Quality of Life features Download / Play in Browser HERE Flatpak Release This little game got quite some attention, surprisingly. So I've been slowly adding contents to it. Now, 10 short levels might not sound as much, but each one is crafted to feel unique. There's entire game
