People always ask me what happened to West Hollow.

Here's the first teaser for my upcoming top-down survival horror RPG.

Turn-based combat. Meaningful choices. Limited resources. One terrible summer. Q2 2027

West Hollow.

@MrPodunkian Hey! What platform/engine did you make this on??

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@DreamMixGames Gotcha!

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@IndieGamesLib THis is super cool!

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@MahezaZi Very cool! What engine are you using to make your game?

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@AutixTheCore @DragonbornZane @PixelArtJourney Agreed. I think all AI haters are accomplishing is AI hate fatigue. 2 years from now AI is going to feel like such a norm and people will be tired of hearing from AI haters.

That doesn’t mean their opinions aren’t valid, but AI isn’t going anywhere.

@sinso20274440 @PixelArtJourney This is my whole point. I understand personal preference, but what I don’t understand is this massive wave of shame by half of the gaming community pointed at the use of AI.

@DerbyCreekGame Thanks! Looking forward to that trailer.

Spencer Mansion or Silent Hill for one night, which are you picking to survive in??

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@PixelArtJourney @DragonbornZane Thanks for the responses. It's curious to see the divide in the gaming industry on this topic.

@MagusStormcrow @SlntPlanetGame thanks friend!

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@cinderholdgame LOL thanks!

So was the food in the vending machine and so were the humans that made it. Still a vending machine, not a food maker. RPG Maker games are still game asset vending machines, as well, and someone like you could make the argument that someone who uses them isn't a game developer, just a vending machine operator.

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

@imStuyk I was literally thinking last night about doing that just to see if posting them to youtube would garner a following lol

[TYLER @LastLightStd]

But thats like saying so many of these great RPG Maker games are trash because so many of the assets are drag and drop instead of any coding or development. Yet, Indie devs have been spending years making games on them with little to no complaint from the community. RPG Maker is a vending machine of game assets.

@PixelArtJourney @DragonbornZane By the way, your pinned post pixel art is FIRE
