Why, hello there , is it #AUSPEX day 321?

Yes, and it's one of those truly despicable platforming things where you'll fall again and again until you give up or manage to make the best of the awful controls you're stuck with. Some would say it's a realistic life simulator.

No, you won't know how it ends and what's up those stairs unless you play the game.

Thank you all for following and supporting my absurd project, this made my year :tealheart:

I'll publish a detailed article about the whole process soon. There's still one last album to be released, and a few atrocious collision boxes to fix.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I'm starting something similar in 2025, though exclusively focused on music. Which means... Tomorrow LOL

Stay tuned and Happy New Year :)

The last part of the #AUSPEX soundtrack is out! Apparently I’ve managed to release one album per month while simultaneously working on the game and adding a new level every day.

If you listen to the twelve albums in chronological order, you should get something similar to playing the whole game after entering the closest door on the right. But without falling again and again in the bottomless abyss…

The adventure continues tomorrow in a different format. Stay tuned :)

Which reminds me I also have to update the game to the latest RPGiaB version, I was waiting because of some hypothetical breaking changes (the collision mode I used was quite new and experimental), but now I can relax and take my time to fix a few issues.
