First thing I made today was a tree. This is for gathering certain wood on the world map for better ship hulls. I have to make a few more of these, but this is the first one. Everything else I made was using Microsoft Paint free edition, and my God is Aseprite so much better.
I have done pixel art in the past, but this game has forced me to create things from nothing, and I think it came out alright. And this all loops over and over. The crab is setup on a switch that turns on when the turtle hits the beach, and switches off after it hides under the dock.

I made some sea turtles about an hour ago. I feel like they need to be a bit lighter in color, but do you like the size and their movements?
I only use eventing, and I already knew how to do a transfer from Airship, boat, or ship to player standing inside of them. But this is a much harder challenge and I enjoyed it. This also tells the game where the ship is to return to being it since the boat can't do that on it's own. I have to run events instead to pull this off. No scripts or plugins. I also have to move events around to block off the ship from being able to travel up river, and for the boat not to leave the river as well. This is the stuff I love to create.
Obviously the right side still needs to be finished on the top of the map, but this is the Southeastern continent to my world. I just found out RPG Maker only allows 256 blocks wide on a map, but can fix that with transferring without a fade to another map to finish the Western hemisphere.
This is only the Northeastern hemisphere, and obviously not done yet, but this is what I did yesterday. So far, this map goes 250 blocks from North to South, and I expect it to be around 500 to 600 blocks East to West once done. This is by far the largest world map I have ever made.
I had to make the dice from scratch, but not that hard to make.
I am starting a Mental Health Awareness Festival for next May, and I need Devs with games that are mental health games, or games that sooth stress which is also mental health healing. So if you have a cleaning game that all you do is clean dirt off of things for the player to relax and feel better, let me know if you are interested. And of course if your game covers actual mental health issues or any form of awareness, you qualify as well.
Demo and full release games by May are allowed to join.
All I need from you is the name of your game, and the App ID. That's it. I just have to create a list of interested games and Steam will take care of the rest.
To be honest, I am just shocked Steam doesn't do one of these already, but since they don't, let's make this a yearly thing.
These are my three games I have. Two are released, and the bottom one I just released the coming soon page a few days ago. Is it normal to have such a high click through rate. Everyone keeps telling me it's way higher than normal, but is it? My games do sell internationally, so not sure if that's the reason maybe. Extra outside traffic from international sites?
Not Allowed to Die Gaming Studios just started working on a new project. Water's Bounty is based off Uncharted Waters, but with a fantasy world and storyline. I only started this project on July 31st, 2026, so give me some time to finish it. I already though have created an enemy AI system, and most of the systems I had to create to run the changing economy as well. Most of the game's systems are already done and ready to go, but I still have to create the entire world, and place the storyline and crew members still.
As you can tell, I am fast at making games, but a game this size will need testing as well. It should be done in full in roughly a year.
