Operius DX is out NOW on Nintendo Switch, ready for your grubby little hands.
It's the arcade shooter we all love, but sharper, faster, LOUDER, and packed with tons of new content.
Get it now! Available on Steam, itch, and Nintendo eShop.
Oops, almost forgot about the Steam Spring Sale!
Operius DX, our love letter to classic arcade games, is currently at $3.44, its lowest price yet with 31% off!
GO GET IT, GO GO GO GO!!!
Itโs the newsletter day, and it's finally time to talk about some game design!
Specifically, what's actually been going on in our heads with this strange 3D platformer we've been quietly working on...

2026 is here, we've got huge plans, and we need YOUR help to shape the future of Distant Illusions.
So, we put together a short form to gather some feedback on what kind of games you'd want to see from us next.

And we're back, for the 2072nd annual start of January, and we'll start this year by looking into stuff we did throughout the past year. Some of the info here is old, some is old... it's all old, it's from the past after all.

As a part of the STEAM WINTER SALE, Operius DX is currently 20% off!
If you're looking for a cheap game to pick up for your friends and family this Christmas, oh boy, you sure are in luck!
Assuming you already bought it for yourself though, of course. You did, right?
If you guys thought we forgot about this month's newsletter, no we didn't. You did.
Well, it's out anyway, rounding up everything that happened in the past month.

We were sick of having to create dozens of different assets for different storefronts when publishing our games... So we built a tool to generate them automatically!
Introducing Procrustes. Try it right now, directly in your browser.
These libraries power our shipped titles, like Operius DX, Cascadence, and our Opera GX games. Tested on Windows, Linux, HTML5, that weird WASM target for https://t.co/zmKuLRVoG3, and, yes, even Nintendo Switch.
Try them out here: https://t.co/OlArzGtQbj
We love open source! So, we decided to open-source the GameMaker libraries we use in production at Distant Illusions.
- wFSM for state machines
- wTimer for scheduling function executions
- wRNG for seeded randomization
- wEase for animation curves
