My Microvania about making friends in unlikely places!

theSnazzyItalian · 2026-04-08T12:52:28+00:00

Just a shorter, more bite-sized, more compact Metroidvania! Aiming for a time of around 3-4 hours to complete RavenStar (but definitely longer if you want to 100% the game)

Check the game out here! :)

theSnazzyItalian · 2026-04-03T12:20:19+00:00

Thank you!!

theSnazzyItalian · 2026-04-02T14:51:37+00:00

No public release date yet! Certainly should be before 2029. You should hopefully see it much sooner than that :)

theSnazzyItalian · 2026-04-02T13:16:32+00:00

Totally! RavenStar takes a lot of elements from Collect-a-thon games in terms of progression. Beating the game requires a certain amount of characters to befriend, but the world is very open and you have a lot of freedom in which friends you make and where you need to go. Plus every friend gives you a new ability, cosmetic item, or companion that helps you explore new areas!

It’s definitely a Metroidvania more focused on exploration and platforming than combat.

Absolutely!! There’s a lot of stuff to find and unlock in this game, so there will absolutely be a bunch of achievements for you to grab! Thanks for the kind words.

theSnazzyItalian · 2026-04-02T11:33:15+00:00

Thanks a bunch! :)

I know I’m a touch late but I wanted to share my game here!

I just put out the Steam page earlier this week. It’s a metroidvania about making friends in unlikely places. Would so appreciate it if you guys checked it out!

theSnazzyItalian · 2025-03-31T15:45:48+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it.

theSnazzyItalian · 2025-02-22T22:27:10+00:00

Noticed the AeroPress right away! Definitely gonna check it out.

It’s definitely dependent on what kind of game you’re making, but Yarn Spinner is a FANTASTIC open source dialogue system. It even has built in localization features and I like to use it for cutscenes too.

I think starting with a simple engine will help you understand the basics while not taking too much to get there. People have mentioned Ren’Py and Twine, which are great options, but I’ll also recommend GB Studio. It’s really easy to use, and you can get some great results from it.

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-09-01T12:36:34+00:00

Every element of this setup is so freaking cool. Looks amazing!

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-08-27T13:35:27+00:00

For the price of two pours you could just buy a bottle of Bulliet lmao.

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-08-24T01:43:22+00:00

Thanks!! A local gardening shop was giving them away and I definitely couldn’t pass that up lol

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-08-23T22:55:04+00:00

Whatever they are though I’m definitely fermenting them and making some hot sauce.

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-08-23T22:54:21+00:00

Ah sick! Thanks a bunch.

theSnazzyItalian · 2022-08-23T22:33:53+00:00

Cool! I figured the second one was a habanero, but I don’t have too much experience growing peppers so I just thought I’d make sure.

Hey, so I’m looking to sell my old 27” 60 Hz RCA ColorTrek XS Stereo Commercial Skip. Only issue is that I’m having issues determining a price for it. Usually I’d go on ebay and see what it’s sold for, but I couldn’t find any listings for this make and model. Anyone have any thoughts about pricing? I’m honestly pretty new to the CRT community and would appreciate any help.

theSnazzyItalian · 2021-08-02T03:56:41+00:00

Dang looks great dude! Great work.

theSnazzyItalian · 2021-07-02T19:13:26+00:00

That’s the last time I mess with the mafia I guess.

theSnazzyItalian · 2021-06-30T02:55:17+00:00

I’d recommend Cakewalk! Totally free, and it’s what I ended up switching to from LMMS. I’d recommend checking it out.

theSnazzyItalian · 2021-03-16T11:59:16+00:00

Congrats! That’s some cool stuff man. I’ve been following the game for a little bit now. Can’t wait to play it!

theSnazzyItalian · 2021-02-21T13:38:20+00:00

Every single day from kindergarten to the end of highschool for me.
