A Wolf in Autumn

DUSK is out now!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/519860/

My newest game, DUSK, just released from early access!

DUSK is a throwback to oldschool shooters like Doom and Quake, focused on fast-paced gameplay and unique and varied level design.

Watch the launch trailer here

It also features a massive soundtrack from the legendary Andrew Hulshult, which you can check out here.

DUSK includes 33 single player levels covering three distinct episodes, 3 endless arenas for unlimited bloodshed, and a full fledged multiplayer mode.

Purchase DUSK here!

Announcing my next game... DUSK
http://store.steampowered.com/app/519860/

Battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces as you attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the earth in this retro FPS inspired by all your 90's favorites. Featuring a full single player campaign, endless survival mode and classic arena multiplayer. Coming 2017.

It's going to be quite a bit different than my horror games, but if you like oldschool shooters like Doom, Quake, Blood, Redneck Rampage, etc, you should definitely check it out. And don't forget to wishlist it!

'The Grandfather' has been released
The collab project between MPR Art Hallucinations and I--The Grandfather--has been released on Steam:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/433750/

The Grandfather is a strange point and click adventure inspired by surrealist films such as David Lynch's Eraserhead. It follows the story of an old man who is tormented by the coldness of his wife, and wakes up one night to find that his arms, legs, and torso are missing, leaving him a disembodied floating head.

Keep in mind that The Grandfather was designed/directed by MPR Art Hallucinations (creator of The Lady) and simply programmed by me. So expect a much different (much more surreal) experience than you get in my solo horror games.

Looking for Feedback
Since I'm taking a more "relaxed" approach to game development for now, I thought it would be a good time to improve some areas I might be weak in. So I'd like feedback from anyone and everyone on about where you think my writing could improve. I'd like to hear issues relating to characters, story, prose, or narrative that you have with any of my games. Please leave feedback at http://ironsnowflakes.blogspot.com/2015/12/critique-my-writing.html (you do not need an account to leave a comment).

Only thing I ask is that your feedback is CONSTRUCTIVE. This is not the place to vent your anger at me or my games. That's what Steam reviews are for, it seems.

Well hey, looks like it happened again!
Would you look at that... apparently A Wolf in Autumn is now 80% off as part of the Halloween sale. This comes as a bit of a surprise to me, as it was supposed to be 40% off as part of the Halloween sale. Same as the launch discount. This exact same thing happened last year with The Moon Sliver. Yeah, I know, it looks like I'm doing this purposely. I'm not. Well, I purposely made it part of the Halloween sale... I didn't purposely discount it for 80% 2 days after launch.

*sigh*

Ok... so, anyone who bought the game and feels cheated by this sudden price reduction is welcome to refund the game and purchase it again at the new price while they can, with my blessing. If you're thinking of buying the game, apparently now would be the time to do so, before it gets changed back.

I'm going to contact Steam and ask them to fix the problem, so you've got maybe an hour or so to go nuts. After that it will (hopefully) be back to 40% off.

Check out the IndieGoGo Campaign for The Grandfather
View “The Grandfather” IndieGoGo campaign and download the Demo here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-grandfather--2/x/5229043#/

The upcoming atmospheric point & click horror/puzzle game “The Grandfather” has launched an IndieGoGo campaign. The campaign features some one of a kind and limited perks, including the Autoharp that the soundtrack was recorded on, and a special edition of the game with 20 wallpapers and two different versions of the unique soundtrack.

“The Grandfather” is collaboration from the creator of “Fingerbones” and the creator of “The Lady”; both devs thrive at creating hauntingly rich atmospheres with a mix of visuals, audio, and a different approach to storytelling. The game tells its story through the use of comic book pages and narration/voice acting. The Grandfather features all hand drawn art by amazing comic book artist SaintYak http://saintyak.deviantart.com/gallery/ , and a procedural soundtrack composed by Michael Patrick Rogers https://soundcloud.com/mprart-1 , which is created by the user as they play the game.
