Iron Octopus Inc.

Video game developer, author and game artist. I'm currently developing my 2nd video game, "Broken Ceiling: Wandering Island", a cosmic suspense adventure.

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

This is Chuck.

He fell through a crack in the universe—and landed in, then was kicked out of a prison for gods.
Now he’s hunted by monsters, shadows… and something that lives inside him.

I'm building a game that tells his story.
When it’s ready… he’s going to need your help.

@The16thUSPrez Son, can't wait for your apology tour when Asmon's lawyers come a knocking. Your tweet takes 1 min to disprove and yet you were stupid enough to put it up. Hope you don't have a job that requires any responsibly IRL, otherwise people could die, you are just that dumb.

@DungeonNoir I wonder if some of the same developers worked later on Gauntlet or if they actually played this game and used it for inspiration.

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

Took a break. Needed it.

[SAK'D @SAKDGame]

What. A. Weekend.

Huge thanks to Marc Belisle, Chris, the team at Meibel Consulting, and @ASUS @ASUS_ROG for helping make our @gameconcanada so experience unforgettable!

Thousands played SAK’D. Bugs were found. Friends were made. Our hearts (and our hero) are full 💚

@Harbringerf @ember_paradox What exactly is your point?

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

Chuck is stuck on an alien world with everything that creeps crawls, gallops, and phases trying to kill him. (Kind of sounds like Australia).

Our protagonist isn't defenseless though.

Weapon concepts!

Analog isn't dead with this video game dev! Long live ink and paper!

Chuck, our protagonist, has been cursed with a mutated arm.

Now... I just have to find ways to turn it into "fun" weapons.

Exciting news Everyone!

Chuck, the protagonist of my new game is going to have an irl version. The work on designing the plushie is underway.

The designer insisted on the toe beans.

I couldn't stop her.

@DungeonNoir The front skeleton looks like he's desperately calling in more reinforcements. Great expression for a dude without lips or eyebrows. 😄

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

Crocket!

From quick sketch to something more refined. The character is relatively the same for now. I'll work on him more as the game develops.

Friend or foe? What do you think?

@KainYusanagi Hahaha! That .gif is surprisingly accurate.

@Tomi_Tapio All he had to do was listen. But nope, he thought he knew everything. 😄

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

@KainYusanagi Very clear instructions were ignored, chaos ensued. I'd love to tell you more, but that's all I can say for now.

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

@Play_GRIME Gummy bears and atmosphere that you need a knife to cut through. I want to eat it.

[Iron Octopus Inc. @IronOctopusPro]

@DungeonNoir Looks a lot like Dave Sim from Cerebus's style.
