Hello! I made some somewhat popular Flash games called MARDEK RPG years ago. I'm currently making a 3D RPG with the same spirit called Atonal Dreams.

I don't have a pinned tweet yet, so:

I'm currently working (solo) on Atonal Dreams, a quirky, immersive, bite-sized RPG in which monsters and magic form from mental states. Whether you kill your enemies or tame them to your side alters events.

Haven't posted here in ages! I'm currently unsure what to do with my life as I'm not earning enough money from my creative pursuits, and would appreciate hearing from people who follow me. I posted on my Substack blog with more info: https://t.co/FUv1ucb9GF

Seems I'm mostly posting blog posts about Dreamons and life stuff to Substack now; here's another: https://t.co/l1FiQXLCfr

I wrote another Dreamons Weekly Update on Substack:

Would being able to argue for your side of genuinely contentious issues be appealing to players, or ire inciting? I wonder. Especially considering it's a comedy game!

I'm still working on Dreamons! I've recently started posting dev blogs on Substack, of all places! https://t.co/6cbYzGHzsn

[Tobias Cornwall @Alora_Fane]

I've not posted here in ages for no good reason! Mostly just kept forgetting. I'm still technically alive. Here are some silly emotive idle animations for a character in my current project, Dreamons. Also, I'm still writing blog posts: https://t.co/hOVCupBRcm

Haven't *xcreted* (or whatever) in a while! I've been working on this game called Dreamons; more info about the latest developments in my #gamedevblog: https://t.co/xnNRXLLPEP

I wrote a blog post looking back at Memody: Sindrel Song, which I released in to almost no notice in 2019, and which I replayed recently. Some later scenes brought me to tears, but it's a shame so few people ever saw them!

Technical stuff this week. Combining tile meshes! A new stamina mechanic to replace levels! Wow!!

Probably not hugely exciting, but progress is progress!

I've been playing around with Shader Graphs, and like the results! Dissolving dioramas! Fluffy grass that waves in the wind! I personally love this fish-tank-like look for water, where you can see underneath.

Weekly-ish #gamedevblog post: https://t.co/enWJKEvIrQ

In this one, some very sketchy thoughts about a formulaic approach to six 'dungeons' based around dreams, negative thoughts, and Alora Fane's elements. Ideas welcome!

Yet another #gamedevblog post: https://t.co/W01D5tev6M

I feel I might finally have a clearer idea of what I'm doing with this side project. Could combine it with another, Dreamons; more info in the blog post.

Still trying to decide on some things. Pre-battle dialogue scenes? Diorama rooms? I'll probably restrict the party to just the player character and one ally though; makes for better gameplay & narrative.

Mid-week #gamedevblog post: https://t.co/97ScB9uBQM

Lots of indecisiveness about this side project where you convert people. Should it be about collecting silly archetypes (eg Normie, Babe) or leading a smaller group of unique characters?

I'm uncertain about how to structure this side project... though I probably should get back to work on Atonal Dreams anyway!

I've added a new composition to my recently-created music YouTube channel for the first time in months: https://t.co/DdlOpVSmRz

This is the first in a 'Playable Piano Pieces' series that I'll be trying to upload new entries to every day!

[Tobias Cornwall @Alora_Fane]

I made a simple 3D model based on an intriguing description (included) of one of the UFOs/UAPs the US government/military might have in their possession. The description fits another UFO reported in 1994!

Friday #gamedevblog for a change: https://t.co/hl3ZUWigfx

I finally made a male version of this pixel-faced person model! Wow!!

Some overly long wondering about gameplay mechanics / story minutiae this week. Probably unwise to focus the beginning 'battle' around abortion (kind of)?

More work on this side project about silly social 'battles' this week, and some musings about what makes turn-based JRPG battles fun, or not.

Did some stuff on this side project. Still struggling with motivation issues, which - based on Reddit posts - seems to be a common thing for solo indie devs!
