Building a small "idler + TCG" mashup game

Posted by Josh1billion, 28 October 2019 - - - - - - · 2345 views

Just announced Emerald Shores, my platformer for PS4/Vita

Posted by Josh1billion, 30 March 2017 - - - - - - · 4782 views

In short, the concept is basically "Super Mario World with a level-up system that determines your HP and jump damage." There will be 20-something levels, 5 boss battles, a bunch of secret/unlockable levels, and a Remix Mode that rearranges all of the levels to make them harder. 
Here's some more info and screenshots: http://www.fordesoft.com/blog/po...
