PROJECTS


Guardian's organised all his ideas into a thread in Concept Development, called Because I Can. It's worth a look at.

Age of Darkness, in Project Discussion, looks a unique and well-made game. Oblivia5 has put a lot of thought into the thread.

Tsurugi's Hold, a game by "Black Project Entertainment", there's a demo available for download.

Finally, a completed game! Guardian's Final Wish is a short game, about 30 minutes long. The main emphasis is on solving puzzles.

Badmonur iso pixels... basically it's Badmonur, so you know it's good. While the thread isn't new, there's some new art, and it's still worthy of a mention.
