100 bucks
The Patreon page has crashed through the $100 ceiling, completely breaking it and leaving only destruction in its wake. A thank you of massive proportions to anyone supporting me over the years, now or in the past. I initially made this page on a whim, I'm glad that it actually went anywhere. I&...

A Quick September Update
Tl;dr: Break -> Ludum Dare -> Quecto, maybe halloween -> CTI realised I've been quiet on here for a whole month. It's only fair that you get updated once in a while. What next? The answer is more concrete than usual.ResetAfter finally finalizing the final versions of Pent's Wacky, Zany R...
New game: Pent's Wacky, Zany Road Trip to Adulthood
Well, I hope that was worth the wait, because this one took forever. I sincerely have no idea if people will like this one; I've yet again shaken things up a bit and tried some different things. None of my games have had this much dialogue, that's for sure. Anyway, without furhter ado:Pent&#...
New Quality Quecto and shmups
Context and suchIt's gotta happen someday, right? At some point in the future I'll finally succeed in making a fully-fletched shmup that's actually good. For those unaware, shmups refer to the shoot 'm up genre of video games. The ones where you control a small player, shooting and d...
May 2024 Update, Stuff and also a Quecto too as well
I took way too long to put out another one of these posts, so let's get right into it.CurrentlyMy current project is something that, if I do indeed finish it (which is very much the plan) and release it as a web game, will be one of my largest games. I had hoped to get it done last month, but ap...
Past the Sky and updates
UPDATE: I used a link for Past the Sky here that didn't work. This has now been updated to one that does work. Whoops!What the heck have I been doing lately? Well...Project Amidst progressI've gone back to working on Project Amidst for a while. I got the the feeling most people really don...
Mollusca Prototype
I made an early prototype of a top-down, action-adventure with a bunch of bullets and some puzzles. It's web-based, so no spooky scary downloads. Go play it!This is the result of messing about with the genre in Lampyrid Fog. I have no idea when to finish this and in what form, but at least there...
Almost February Update
In shortWorking on multiple, previously mentioned things, it's going well and I'm looking forward to releasing things more frequently when those are done, I'll be releasing an early prototype of one of those projects in less than a month and also there's a new Quecto for >=$3 tier pa...
2023's final updates and Quecto
Quectooooo~I've been informed that today is, in fact, the Christmas. What better way to celebrate than with a brand new Quecto game (I can think of a couple, but let's move on)! Any Patron who has at least the Tower Climber (>=$3) tier can download the updated version RIGHT HERE I hope. You ...
New Quecto! And some small updates~
For >= $3.00 Patrons (Quecto):New month, new Quecto! This specific month brings you something completely different from last month: a fishing game. One that is actually, unironically, no-string-attached, meant to be sort of relaxing. We also see the introduction to badges: each Quecto will have a No...
Quecto Games
Here it is! The first of the monthly "Extremely Small Games", the >= $3 tier reward is done.What?Quecto Games (or Quectos) is a collection of very small games. It's an outlet for whatever I feel like. A Quecto could be a concept for a game that I didn't think could be something bigge...
Quick update
Lost in Lampyrid Fog released little over a week ago and that's going well. After my hiatus I did forget one thing though: namely how exhausting a release is mentally. At least for me. As such, the first batch of the $3 tier rewards are taking a bit longer than I have previously stated, but I...
New game: Lost in Lampyrid Fog
Well, that took a while, but I've finally released a new game. If you liked Lost in Firefly Forest I'm 96% sure you'll like this one as well, since it's based on that. Lost in Lampyrid Fog got a bit bigger than its predecessor though, so finding your way might prove even more challen...
Updated tiers!
Tiers have been updated, I think you have to manually switch to a higher one, even if your monthly contribution is already enough for it. The timing's a bit awkward, as I'm releasing a full game this week, but also want to release the "extremely small games" for the >=$3 tier asap so...
Changing my Patreon page (but actually)
In 5 days it'll be exactly a year since I created this post here on Patreon, where I discussed upgrading my Patreon page into something a bit more interesting in the near future. I've been thinking trying to figure out what to do next with my work, especially regarding generating some sort o...
March 2023 Update
For the last couple of months, my work has been spread on so many different projects, it feels like I'm accomplishing a lot and very little at the same time. There's been progress on Sunken City, on some webgames I intend to release soon, and on a significant number of side projects that cou...
Flower Flight prototype
Hello~Here's a prototype for a challenging, mouse-based skill game, for patrons only.Unlike most of my work, this one's a downloadable for Windows. That allowed me to make it look a little bit fancier than usual. And it was just way more convenient.Click on the link above or here to go to th...
New game: Generic Fishing Game, and changed billing schedule
I made a little fishing game for fun, you can play it here: https://ferociter.itch.io/generic-fishing-gameJust don't look at the tags and ignore today's date...Furthermore, I've changed the page's billing schedule to: immediately pay when you join, then monthly on that same day (e.g....
Changing my Patreon page
I originally made this Patreon page because I noticed there was an interest (albeit limited) in making donations for my work. As such, I never really expanded upon a basic Patreon page that fulfills that purpose. Time to change that a bit. Consider this post an announcement, these changes are to be ...
July 2022 update

Cursed Travels: Below the Factory

Stone Blast Prototype
As I've mentioned in my previous post, here's the Patron-exclusive release of how far I got with a shmup before I abandoned it indefinitely. During development I came to the realisation that my approach for designing this project didn't quite work for this genre. Being used to platformer...
March 2022 update
Whoops, I got sick there for a while and couldn't get anything done for a while. Here's an overview of where things are.Cursed TravelsThe good news is that I had already almost finished the fourth Cursed Travels before being reduced to a sniffling pile of mucus and headaches. All that's ...

The third game in the Cursed Travels series can be played right now for free on Itch and on Newgrounds.While I'm at it, here's a small update. In case you missed it, I wrote a blogpost on my plans for the series, and therefore most of this year, on my blog. Here's the link. In short: the...

Solve puzzles and riddles and rid the ancient mausoleum of a very angry spirit.As a side note: the first one, Flame of th...
Prototype Boss Fight game
This game isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future, but a fair chunk of it is perfectly playable. Figured I might as well share it with just you. Just click the link above and see how far you can get, if you'd like.Note that it lacks sound effects here and there and ends a bit abruptly...
