Well this is super late, but here’s a gif from each of the posts in May!  I was having a lot of problems with editing, so it took a while. >.<

You can see the individual posts here, and previous months are over here.

“A point & click, puzzle adventure game.

You are summoned to the land of Panmorphia, where as a sentinel you are able to wield the four elements and transform yourself into the animal that best represents it.

Each time you transform into a different animal (cat, bird, fish) your view of the world changes and you can do different things that are unique to your current form.”

Currently out on iOS and Android, it’s being ported to PC for release this summer.

“A crushingly difficult fantasy-horror action game for PC & mobile platforms.”

Really like the aesthetic and combos in the gifs.  Also, the main character design reminds me of batman, but with antlers.  So awesome. O.O

It’s planned for release in 2016, and you can follow the progress on the TIGForums here.

“An exploration game where a rich and colorful world grows around you. Your presence is the driving force behind the procedurally populated environment as you establish permanent monuments to mark your journey.

It’s an evolving world that grows with each step and hints at distant landmarks, encouraging you to delve deeper into the woods.  Shape of the World offers a unique unfolding experience for those seeking an alternative to quest-driven adventure games.”

Less than ten days left on the Kickstarter, and it’s going to need a little bit of a push if it’s going to make its goal.  Please share if you can. :)

A stealth-based platformer with really gorgeous pixel art cutscenes.  It’s been in development for quite a bit, and should be released on Steam sometime in the latter half of 2015.

“You are Master Spy. In a world of corruption and decay, you’re not just good at what you do – you’re the best.

With the aid of your prototype cloaking suit and quick wit, you’ll sneak your way past a multitude of enemies and obstacles, all while uncovering a plot of conspiracy and intrigue that thrusts you into a role far greater than your contract promised… “

The artist (zorgitron) also has a separate Tumblr with a lot more animation and art, which you can take a peek at here.  The gif below isn’t part of the Master Spy universe; you can see the full loop here.

Parafractum

developed by Bernoulli Games


[gfycat data_id="ShadowyImpossibleGonolek"]parafractum peepsparagractum night[gfycat data_id="AmazingFlamboyantCrustacean"]parafractum title

“A 2D platform game set in a procedurally generated world. Go wherever you want in a vast world which is different every time you play. Find and collect loot to customize and enhance your character. Trade with, threaten or fight survivors to get what you need.

Still in very early development, but the art style already looks pretty great, and I’m excited about another co-op roguelike.
