The demo for my new Game Boy Color project is now live! Inspired by the art of medieval bestiaries and '90s fantasy games, MENAGERIE is a Sokoban-like puzzle game set in a sorcerer's castle🏰

"What's happening?" asks X.

Not much, just finishing levels for MENAGERIE.

Three new monsters have been added for the full release, with their own unique mechanics - you can catch a glimpse of them below:

@mitansh_j07 Thank you, crispness was the goal

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

@NogitsuneGurl Don't worry, he's just "trolling" you ;)

I would say the cockatrice mechanic is my favourite. It mirrors the movement of certain other monsters, and petrifies any creature in its line of sight. I'll be whipping up a video to showcase that soon

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

@BenjaminCrAdams Yep there will be different chain lengths, some vertical, and even levels with multiple chains. Any fans of trolls and/or chains should be bookmarking this one

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

Dragging boulders back and forth along a chain... classic troll behaviour, right?

My entry for NOKIA 3310 JAM 8. Stoked to take part this year; I love the constraints and aesthetics of this game jam.

POCKET SALARYMAN -- an endless runner with a dash of existentialism. Check it out here: https://t.co/cOWw1OGa6J

This one by far. I worked hard to get the candlelight just right, and I think it paid off

ARTISTS, what is your most popular artwork from 2026 so far? 🎨👀

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

@Atticus__Finn Fantastic pixel art, really captures the vibe of '90s Pokémon games

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

Finally finished this old #septembit challenge from @Saultoons. Twenty-seven 16x16 animal sprites, and three 32x32 mythological creature sprites

Do you find slotting things into place satisfying?

@Gutterspawn Thank you, Gutter! Looking forward to both Wicked Boy and this secret project you're cooking up 🔥

[Ryan VV @ryandoublevee]

@Gutterspawn Most erotic moment of my life too 💚

I love creating fake ads for fictional marijuana cigarette brands, especially if they're from Philip K. Dick's Hugo Award-winning 1962 novel, 'The Man in the High Castle'
