Devlog & updates.
Notes from the workshop as I build toward playable prototypes of Messenger's Guild and B-Mob. Build updates, design decisions, and the occasional dead end.
Dev Log #5 — Artist Wanted: Concept Art for B-Mob
I'm commissioning 2–3 artists at £100 each to pitch an art direction for B-Mob. Students and emerging artists welcome. Apply by 31 July 2026.
Dev Log #4 — The Run Finally Ends
Floor 15 is a real final boss now, relics finally cost you something, six of them get new pixel art, and the draft gets a full rebuild.
Dev Log #3 — B-Mob Goes Public, and a New Discord Server!
The interface is cleaned up, the password is gone, and there's a Discord server open for feedback. Come play and let me know what you think.
Dev Log #2 — V0.2: Opening Words & New Faces
V0.2 is out. Starting dialogue, the Artificer unlocked, and a new protagonist with a penchant for documenting your downfall. Plus a balance pass built on playtester feedback.
Dev Log #1 — V0.1: The First Playable
The first playable prototype is live. 11 levels, four enemy types, multiple bomb types — and a boss I haven't finished yet. Here's what's in the build and how to get involved.
Plotting the first routes
How a guild of medieval couriers fits on a single screen — and the incremental loop that turns one lone runner into a kingdom-spanning network.
Why my Bomberman set sail
Trading a static arena for a chain of pirate islands — and bolting roguelite skills, upgrades, and skill trees onto a formula everyone already knows.
What "independent" means to me
On staying small on purpose, working with local talent, and why every asset I ship is human-made.
