Mystery of Melody Memorial releases on February 23rd!
As we head into 2024, I am proud to say that I am putting the finishing touches on my next game, which is one that I've been wanting to have out there for the longest time - and a release date has been locked in place!
Mystery of Melody Memorial is a musical adventure game inspired by the likes of Paper Mario and PaRappa the Rapper. You play as Joseph Teddie, a homeless bear who has traveled across the land for most of his life to find the title locale. Along the way, he'll be singing with a cast of colorful characters while traversing through many dangers that may lurk within his path.
And for the first time ever, Joseph won't be alone.
Angeli Lovely is a bug girl who lives in Mezzo Marsh with her decidedly less-than-pleasant father. After hearing of Joseph's quest, she goes on the adventure to discover Melody Memorial herself in hopes of finding treasures long rumored about. What really awaits the duo at the end of journey? Well, that's for you to see...
Alongside the expansive Story mode, you can also play through the Arcade mode, which consists of the songs that Joseph and Angeli get to partake in during the adventure (plus a couple of bonus minigames). You can set high scores on each song, as well as set a Total High Score that combines every stage's.
Mystery of Melody Memorial will be launching for PC on Steam and Itch.io on February 23rd!
In the meantime, my available games are currently participating in the Steam Winter Sale, including my 2023 releases Game Cycle, Hoppy Square DX, and The Wingless Bee! I particularly recommend grabbing The Wingless Bee, as it's what you would get if I created a new installment in the Frogger franchise. I very much enjoy the work I put into that one, and I hope you do too!
That's all I have to say! Have a great rest of your day, and I wish you an awesome 2024.
-Ryan
GAME CYCLE IS OUT ON STEAM!!
That's right! For the first time in nearly 5 years, I am back to releasing new games on Steam.
You can find Game Cycle right over here!
But what exactly is it? Well...
Game Cycle is a faux retro shareware collection with story elements!
As a recently-contracted games analyst, you are tasked by the CEO of Best Value Games to make sure the games set to be included in their upcoming release are up to code. You can get the job done by playing each game for a few minutes, or you could be thorough and try for bonus pay by completing every objective on the checklist.
After your work for the day is done, you can go right to sleep and wait for tomorrow.
You did just move into this neighborhood, though.
Why not go down to the hot tub and chill out for a bit? Maybe get to know some of the people that live close by?
Are you up to the task?
◉ Re-discover the bygone era of shareware CD-ROMs!
◉ Play over TWENTY games! (of varying quality)
◉ Complete objectives for each game...or do the bare minimum!
◉ Chill out in a hot tub and have a moment to relax!
◉ Learn about your neighbors as they talk your ears off!
◉ There are multiple endings depending on what you do!
Missileman is back for Christmas!
That's right, folks!
Years after Missileman Origins, even as my mind has been set on various other projects I cannot quite share here yet, I decided I wanted to create a new small Christmas-themed game featuring our friends from ABSO Robo High!
Missileman is back in school for the holidays!
In this chaotic adventure, a Santa mech built by Dr. Otto has run loose and is wreaking havoc upon the city. What will the ABSO Robo High staff be able to do about it? Why, count on Missileman to clean up the mess, of course! After all, this wouldn't be his first time.
You can play the game directly on your Internet browser on Itch.io or Newgrounds! The Itch page also has a downloadable version of the game if you prefer to play offline.

Physical fans rejoice! Ryan's Pack now available!
Standard checkout / PayPal checkout
Ryan's Pack is a collection of games created exclusively for physical media.
Although digital marketplaces are all the rage and these games have debuted on such services, there's simply nothing like being able to grab a game off of your shelf and look at the case! Popping the disc into your computer to play is also a real treat.
Ryan's Pack is a genuine CD-ROM that contains an installer for the package, as well as a uniquely designed launcher that presents the games in an interactive and eloquent fashion.
The games included are:
Dynamite Alex
Missileman Origins
Garrison Gauntlet
Ice Cream Factory
Android versions of Dynamite Alex and Ice Cream Factory are also included on the disk. If you have an Android device, you'll be able to play these games on the go!
This CD-ROM works on Windows computers ranging from Windows XP all the way to Windows 10. Performance on modern hardware may vary, though.
It is highly recommended you download the demos featured on the games' respective pages to test their performance on your system before you buy.
Games may also not be able to save if you play them from the launcher due to the C:\ directories not willing to generate new files. This can be remedied by changing the security settings in the directory folder (If your computer will allow you to do that) or by copying and pasting the game files to a folder outside the C:\ directories and launching them in the new destination you give them. The launcher won't launch them if they are moved, but you'd be able to play them with saves intact if you do move them.

Making a new game - And it needs your support!!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/415688969/mystery-of-melody-memorial?ref=user_menu
Mystery of Melody Memorial is a video game for Windows (from XP all the way to 10!) computers and Android devices.
The game is an original title inspired by the likes of Paper Mario (particularly Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) and PaRappa the Rapper, with elements of other titles such as Undertale and Mario & Luigi possibly in the mix
This is an adventure title with an imaginative world and an emphasis on storytelling and world-building (a la Paper Mario). However, whereas RPG games would feature turn-based battles, Mystery of Melody Memorial will instead have "song battles", which play out in ways similarly to PaRappa. The adventure will be three to four hours long, but elements of replayability grant players the opportunity to discover more than the mainline path could offer. Side-quests allow for more to accomplish, which in turn unlock secrets that would otherwise remain unseen. There will also be an Arcade mode unlockable after beating the main game; the mode will consist entirely of all the major "song battles" from throughout the adventure.
The story and character interactions will feature a blend of genuine emotion and genuine humor. The world contains a diverse cast of characters with unique personalities. From eroding in a swamp filled with shady activity to playing at a driving range with a sensei, the journey can be fairly unpredictable. After all, even with music playing a significant role in this lifetime populated by elaborate characters, it's still a dangerous world out there...especially if you don't know where to turn....
Trading cards and community items are available now!
Hello, anyone that is reading this! This is Ryan, and I'm pleased to say that trading cards and community items are finally available. I apologize for the initial setback, as a couple minor issues happened that prevented me from having the card releases coincide with the actual game's release.
Nevertheless, the market is open and people can now get collecting!
There are some updates regarding Missileman Origins itself as well.
There are some super slight changes made to the first level of the game. More importantly, I've heard that using Escape to instantly close out the game is a no-no. So pressing Escape now has the game pause just like Enter. To exit the game, you press X as the game is paused (The game itself would tell you that as well).
That's all for now! Hope you're still having fun playing!
Missileman Origins is now OUT!!
Hello, everybody reading this! This is Ryan and I am proud to say that Missileman Origins is now out and ready to be purchased by all for the price of $1.99 USD!
The only minor snafu is that community items (trading cards, profile backgrounds, emoticons, badges) are still in Steam's queue so they won't be available until either tomorrow or the next day. That was admittedly my fault - I wrapped up the items probably later than I should have ^^;
Still, the base game is ready, and I hope everyone that buys it has a lot of fun playing through! I have had quite a journey making tbis one and playing it, myself. It is always ultimately satisfying to see a creation be completely materialized. :)
Missileman Origins arrives this week!
Hello, everybody that's reading this!
I have some news to share: Missileman Origins is currently in the process of being published to Steam! As soon as that's done, the game will be released and everyone will get to purchase it for its lowly price of $1.99.
When exactly will the date be? Well, I'm not entirely sure. After all, there's no telling when the uploading queues prepare the game for launch. I will at least provide an estimate: Let's see about February 25th!
That would be all I have to say, but you know how I said Steam community items such as trading cards, emoticons, badges, and profile backgrounds will be available on release day? Well, here's a sneak peak at what's to come!
That's all for today. Stay tuned for the release of Missileman Origins!!
New Trailer + Other Details
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aanTqNKG1bg
Yeah, I may have stated this would be a Late 2016 release, but...I'm going to need a couple more months than that. February should be the latest I'd have to delay the game. What day on February? I'll pinpoint that when the game is actually completed. It's always best to not pick a specific day or else I would put myself under pressure to rush the thing out by then.
But while waiting, enjoy the new trailer! And if you haven't checked them out yet, you can play the Missileman Origins demo I released back in April or buy my already-released Steam game, Dynamite Alex, for $0.99!

Also, for those into community items (trading cards, profile backgrounds, etc), you'll be happy to know that not only does Dynamite Alex have plenty of those to earn and sell, but Missileman Origins will also have its own on release day!
Oh yeah. I also have another game in Steam Greenlight named Tetro High: The Official Tetromino Dating Sim! If that sounds crazy enough to work for you, hop on over to its Greenlight page and give it a "Yes" vote!

That's all I have to say for now. Stay tuned for more possible announcments and updates!
