Big news (for me)! Signal boost appreciated!

TL;DR: I’ve posted a new interactive voiceover demo at dominicarmato.com, and I’m lookin’ for work.

For the long version, read on!… (1/7)

Out of interest, would anyone like to see a physical edition of Loco Motive?

We're always on the lookout for interesting collabs, and I think a 90s style 'big box' would go extremely hard.

All of this is to say, if you want indies to keep making games, waiting for that 80% deep discount is going to make it very difficult.

It’s also why I’ve never discounted Lamplight City more than 40%

I know not everyone can afford to buy games at full price, but we’re also not charging $60.

Hollowbody is getting pretty hammered in recent reviews, I'm working as fast as I can to make improvements and add new value to the game but I'm just one guy

If you enjoyed the game and haven't left a review yet I could REALLY do with a few extra positive reviews lol I'm sad

This is a delightful adventure. With great voice acting and wonderful music, it’s an original game that is utterly modern while feeling warmly nostalgic.

I'm so excited for the release of Loco Motive today!

I've been doing animations for them for a year or so, and one of my favorite (despite its simplicity, ahah) happens to be spoiler free, so... 😜

Calling it now. Best point and click adventure of 2024 and the past few years. It feels like a #LucasArts game brought into the modern day. Demo is amazing. Bought and can't wait to dig in when I wake up. Small team, huge potential! #steam #pointandclick #adventuregame
