I'm so happy to announce (officially) the development of my next game: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is my personal take on the classic story as a mysterious yet heart-warming adventure game.

I want to slowly turn this into a useful tool for learning kanji and Japanese, but right now it’s just a dictionary you can browse. Still super early, but I wanted to share it anyway.
If you’re studying Japanese or just curious, please take a look 📷

Just launched a tiny side project on https://t.co/5My0yIJO1E 🎉

📖 eKanji – Japanese Kanji Dictionary
✅ 1,026 of the first kanji characters taught in schools
✅ Stroke animations, readings, radicals
✅ Still early, but live now

@XPHOENIXDRAGON Maybe don't speed and be a menace to society lol 🥲

Imagine we found ways to rob stores "without the cameras being able to catch you" and started posting about it 😶

Drive safe and be safe, people 🙏

'SATORI' (2021)
By: Emotion Theory (Auckland)
For: PC
A flow-inducing first-person platformer -- wall-run, air-dash, grapple-swing, and rail-grind through infinitely generated open worlds and experience the freedom of meditative free-running.

This is at the top of my @NotionHQ dashboard.

I read it out loud every day.

Just a little #gamedev flavoured inspo.

Whoever you are - you got this ♡

@hellomisspotter It's a tough industry, and in a tough time. Definitely a brain-buster to think about 🙁

But I believe we can manifest solutions. Let's definitely keep the conversation going~

[Adam Thompson @EmotionTheory]

I did upload a tiny playable teaser. Perhaps the roast was spot on, but if anyone tries this demo, you are welcome to be the judge!

@YahyaDanboos Thanks brother!

Keeping an eye on you 😄 would love to talk some time!

[Adam Thompson @EmotionTheory]

Shoutout to my fellow Arabic gamedevs <3

This is a beautiful Kingdom Hearts-inspired solo-developed game by Yahya Danboos.

[Yahya Danboos🌙Kickstarter Launch Soon @YahyaDanboos]

I've been working on a #KingdomHearts-inspired game for over 2 years now.
Since this is my first solo game, I chose to make it based off my favorite game franchise! ❤️

Thank you to all who've shown me support ♥︎ I'm super excited to be making and bringing this to you.

Let me know what you hope or expect to see in such a series - would love to hear your thoughts.

I was inspired by @DoubleFine back when they announced the creation of the Double Fine Adventure - which eventually became Broken Age.

Their documentary was so transparent, insightful, educational, and inspiring as a young aspiring 21-year-old back in 2012.
