Here’s that game I mentioned finishing yesterday!
From its Itch page:
Monster Parlor is a game in which you run a beauty parlor for monsters, where you have the privilege to make them into something a bit more charming! Strike up a conversation, convince them of your ways, and earn some charms of your own.
Made in a 72 hour game jam (2023 Winter Melon Jam) by me, @cobyte @smallbuggames and dogoryx!
Bonus fanart for my own game
Me and Meta did another game jam! This was the MechJamV, for which we made a game about repairing mechs after battles.
This was very experimental on my part because of the massive control panel. I've never drawn anything animated of that scale before and it was a real challenge. Meta drew the mechs of course.
This project somehow ended up unfinished, despite the fact that this jam was two weeks; game dev has a weird way of spilling out to fill all available time.

The main campaign's now playable to completion, with me having spent a couple weeks going through and testing it all to make sure its broken ass scripting was no longer ass or broken.
Total playtime to complete the main quest (and this is with me rushing through it) was about 11 hours. Note this is just making sure the draft works, the final campaign will obviously need more effects, voice acting, full cutscenes, etc.
We’ve redone engines to be shader based meshes. Given them much more animation and similar while also optimizing them a fair amount.
