Setsune (GameDev)

Would you like a midnight mini-game involving a hungry size-stealing Kobold? How about a tiny taste of life in a Game Boy? What about a text tutorial for GB Studio that's kind of outdated? Well, today is a great day to fill those specific needs!

Today is Itch.io Creator Day, which is like Bandcamp Fridays, meaning the storefront doesn't take their cut of the sales, even with their already generous rates. So creators get even more from your dollar, as opposed to losing 30% right off the bat on Steam and other major platforms.

Here's links to my three purchaseable projects, all are Pay What You Want (name your own price):

Cuddle Kobold! Just a Bite (SFW) https://setsune.itch.io/koboldjab What started as a late Halloween gag ended up expanding. The Kobold from "Cuddle Kobold!" has the midnight munchies, and every time they nibble at you, you shrink a bit. You dash around the apartment getting progressively smaller and smaller, looking for gems that'll substitute until the food delivery in the morning. Win, and you can fool around in the Daytime apartment, an early testbed for ideas going into the full game! And feed the Kobold cookies.

This is a short experience, but I've been making it better with 3 difficulty modes, added easter eggs and interactables during Daytime, and of course hats! It's already out for PC VR, and I'm just finishing up the Meta Quest 2 native port within the next few days.

don't know what this means? read more about .beat internet time!

which is a lot more than i would have expected given it only shipped 164 beats ago

Hi! I'm a raccoon-shaped mess of voxels! My journey through game development and animation work has been a lot of stops and starts as I chase exciting ideas. I sit atop a pile of unfinished and half-baked works. Come and join me, it's nice and warm.

Currently I'm at a transitional point with Cuddle Kobold!, a VR chill-out zone about playing host to a friendly monsters and having a good time with them, whatever that means to you. And I'm not just making a euphemism, I mean if you want to make it Mature Times, you can, but if you want a simple platonic experience, or even just someone stirring around the house to keep you company as you watch videos, that is the plan.

I've just wrapped up "Just a Bite", which is a CK spin-off mini-game I made late for Halloween and got very carried away with, in addition to an early prototype of the apartment. It's Pay-What-You-Want (including free), and in addition to the already-available PC VR, I'm just putting the finishing touches on a standalone Quest 2 version.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Rulent Tower is a slice-of-life parody adventure game made via GB Studio for the Game Boy / Game Boy Color! I spent a good year or so chipping away at it until I ran into a show-stopping issue with GB Studio. I've had the itch to return to it as a side project, all the same. Speaking of the itch, here's the Itch: https://setsune.itch.io/rulenttower

I dabble with other things, including voxel models, like this Steamed Hams diorama entirely based on a pun, simple 2D sprites, and I used to do animation work, before having to take a break from it. Right now Cuddle Kobold! is taking up a lot of my focus, so that's where you'll see the most movement. And if you want to see that movement earliest, yup, I've got a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/setsune

That should be the short of it! Imagine what the long of it would be.
