Hong Kong 2097 is the OFFICIAL sequel to Hong Kong 97, codeveloped by Kanipro and Happy Soft. Throw morality out the window and decimate an entire country in this twin stick shooter from hell. Coming December 2025

Hong Kong 2097 is half off for the Itchio Halloween sale. If you thought $10 was too much (which it is), here's a slightly better deal.

I'll be visiting home for the remainder of October. It's been a little over 2 years. Assuming I make it back in one piece, step one is to put together a demo for Utopia '97
最近の「レトロ調」ゲームのほとんどはファミコンのスペックを再現しているけど、マークIIIっぽいゲームを作る義務を感じます
【今日は何の日？】
1985年10月20日 セガ・マークIIIが発売。今年で41周年

『ファンタシースター』をはじめ、『スペースハリアー』や『アフターバーナー』といった体感アーケードゲームの移植作が大きな魅力の、後方互換性も備えたファミコンのライバル機。
I decided to reskin HK2097 into Utopia '97 because, although being a "side project", as it neared completion I realized it was really fun to play. Nothing revolutionary, but the shield mechanic keeps you on your toes, and it's good for bite sized play sessions.

I've seen a lot of posts here and on Reddit of concerns from indie devs about people using AI to steal and clone their unfinished game/demo. What I wonder is, can AI actually clone the fun part of a game? There's so much going on beyond what you see on screen
I try to do a little work on Conjunctivitalizer nearly every day. Some days, that means just communicating with the artist or composer. But it's still a step forward. With a little luck, we can still have it done mid next year
Is #wishlistwednesday still a thing? If you're looking for a purely action "arcade" style experience, Utopia '97 has you covered. No roguelike elements, no skill branches, just good ol' fashioned reflexes.
Using the rainbow shield effectively to absorb green bullets and power up your weapon is key to beating the later levels in Utopia '97.

Hmm... I'm using Game Maker Language, not a "real" programming language, so I'm probably missing context, but I've found that in programming, if it works, then it's "right". I've specifically arrived at the philosphy that there's not a single correct answer

Ahhh, I should post about my games every day. It's mentally exhausting using this platform. I've been working on backgrounds but they're still slightly incomplete. I can probably get back to stage design in another few weeks.
Everyone who wishlisted Hong Kong 2097, please go wishlist the reskinned version: Utopia '97

1 week after going public, Utopia '97 has 44 wishlists on Steam. That's slightly less than the 5000 Hong Kong 2097 had after its first week, but hey, it's progress! Would you like to be #45? Can we maybe get to that golden 100? I'll toss the link in the comments
While you don't have to use them, the treasure chests in stage 2 of Conjunctivitalizer will produce bullets if you attack them with the sword, which you can absorb into your laser meter and increase your score much faster than you would otherwise.

As you all know, I have a tendency to make my games too hard, so I really tried to make sure that Utopia '97 starts out gently and never becomes unreasonably difficult

This is "Grandma", the mini boss of stage 2 in Conjunctivitalizer. My goal is for each boss to be more absurd than the last
#indiegame #indiedev
Being that there are no enemies in Utopia '97, every world ends with a "very large friend" instead of a boss. And they all have silly names
#indiegame #indiedev
Maybe, just maybe, I should have said the game's title in the announcement post. This is the problem with posting in the middle of the night, brain isn't fully working. Anyways it's Utopia '97, and you should check it out because it's ridiculous and slightly awesome
