Mithost

Hi, I'm Joseph (Mithost), a Canadian game dev, sometimes-artist, and winter enjoyer who likes figuring out how old games work. My game credits include DDLC Plus as well as various mobile games, and I'm working on my own (unannounced) game projects when I can ^^ I hope to share my dev stuff soon! ☃️

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

over the hill is out today on Steam! 🐻🌲 we self-published, self-funded this game and our 🤘badass🤘 team and partners worked so hard we are super proud of what we created and hope you will enjoy it!

Klipy is, slowly but surely, acquiring the sauce

Timespinner is another that boasts some very cool pixelart, and the developers recently announced a Timespinner 2, so why not check this one out now? The central concept of having 2 time periods to explore is a fascinating spin on the inverted castle from SOTN.

it's been over a year and i still can't believe there's a tales of symphonia reference in void stranger

Was using @kenney.nl's ship mixer today and was reminded how absolutely insane it is that a broke hobbyist like me can just go onto this guy's website and get 100s of free assets, professional quality for completely free. Kenney, you've saved my ass more than once, so I just want to say thanks.

RPG towns

Because that 9 games trend is going around again, thought I'd share this again

my legacy will be the concept of a 3d metroidvania with not dumpass movement and a reminder that you can make a character Jump and be Tall and that's ok

from 2003 to 2011 there were 173 pieces of original artwork and still counting

ZeroRanger 8th Anniversary Citrus Flavored Enlightenment

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

I have decided that I want slopes in my current 2D platformer project

When an older DOS game meets a 24x CD drive, that's amore 🎶

Even outside of romance, characters in Scarlet Hollow are governed by a complicated system that maps their perception of you across many different axes. How a character behaves, even if you're emotionally close, can vary significantly between playthroughs blacktabbygames.medium.com/creating-a-d...

Happy anniversary to my favourite game of all time [ #talesofsymphonia #TOS23周年 #シンフォニア23周年 ]

I don't know what defines the weird air of how stuff moves and animates in old PC adventure games, but one of the things I love about modern indie game development is seeing how people will figure out those intangible qualities for EVERY old genre

I've had a number of people in places I've posted this say "oh I'm not gonna bother because I'm sure everyone knows about this" or some such thing. I want anything you can think of no matter how well known. Its so easy to overlook something making a list like this.

I'm researching softlocking video games and I'm looking to the internet for help! If you know a game that can be softlocked, I'd appreciate responses to this form: forms.gle/Qz9TihR5BgTG... Feel free to respond as many times as you'd like! The full info helps but just game and description is fine!

i updated the absolute fuck out of my first game 'future racer 2000' and forgot to really tell anyone about it. waaaaay more refined narrative, new music, new art, new me, new you. store.steampowered.com/app/1952590/... i also have some keys if anyone wants to play but cant afford it. just hmu

@katie.cat and I found @sketbordcat.bsky.social's Horse Magnifier called this and exploited it in literally 15 minutes *while playing CS2* (this vuln was fixed in this game and isn't an issue anymore) I cannot believe this doesn't have a warning, Godot devs *really* need to care about security more

new blog post: self-hosting in the era of LLMs and cheap compute in general, about the kind of crap traffic i see day to day, as well as a more modern nuisance: claude code blog.xkeeper.net/the-cutting-...

hes scaring me

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

It turns out today (July 30th) is Natsuki's birthday! Happy birthday, Natsuki!

Mary repost, demon fang! #pixelart

And the first is @mithost.ca's Felt! She would do really well in the snowy areas.

Impromptu Memora Wanderer NPC making time! Post your characters and I'll choose some at random and make them, and they might appear in-game like in towns. Boosts appreciated! Here are some I made previously:
