played the susan taxpayer demo by @punkitt-is-here
it's pretty fun! I like how it controls a lot like Wario 3 and Wario 4, with some added things to the moveset. the ground pounding into slopes to go extra fast is fun :3
i'm always looking like this
and i did it i got to the secret place, iunno if i missed something after but that being an enemy there scared the heck out of me i could barely grab the screenshot

I recently finished a couple runs of @punkitt-is-here 's amazing Susan Taxpayer demo for Sage 2023 and holy cow did I have a great time playing it! If you're a fan of platforming games like Wario Land 4 and Pizza Tower, you'd certainly enjoy giving Taxpayer a shot!
Punkitt didn't have anything to do with this trailer btw, this is NOT official and I wasn't paid to make this. I just made it cause I'm a fan of their stuff and wanted to help spread the word about it.
Hey all, with the end of the year being well, today, I figured it was probably about time for another update.
Things are still going strong in the writing department and it is still my primary focus, plus life has finally given me a bit of a break so things are going stronger than ever. The story is approaching its final draft and the concept work for mid and late game is really coming together!
As the story falls into place, Post Elvis has been filling in the gaps on the soundtrack as we both add new songs and begin to replace some old songs as well.

In the gameplay department, the touch encounters and battle transition are approaching their final version:

And as the writing continues I've been wrapping up and revising the planning documents for a number of dungeons as well! We were cooking last time but now we're boiling!
Outside of Almari, the team's been releasing tons of cool stuff on their own!
Post Elvis recently released his huge new album I Can't Wait To Get There. Dude's been working on this for a hot minute so please check it out! The result is really cool!
@punkitt-is-here released the demo for her Wario Land inspired game Susan Taxpayer and also became famous for drawing My Little Pony comics?!
Decon Theed released 103 Works #09 featuring a handful of some pretty rad tracks!
Reteryisk (who voices Bethera) released two whole visual novels which is insane. Check out Pumpkin Seeds: The 51st Floor & Date Night At Mary-Jane's Therapy Club!
And lastly, I've been posting art on my Ko-fi, both Almari and not if you want to check that out and/or wanted a way to support my work!
That's probably about it for schilling for this year lol.
All in all, the game's coming along and becoming cooler day by day.
Can we get a dedicated tag for pixel-art precision puzzle platformers starring red-haired women who can air dash?
There's very little chance I'll remember to use it, but I'll give it a shot! In the meantime, here's a reference list of qualifying titles I've talked about in the past:
Aeon Drive
Altered Alma (forthcoming)
Celeste
Emberbane (forthcoming)
Ineth (forthcoming)
Rubi: The Wayward Mira (forthcoming)
Rune Fencer Illyia (forthcoming)
A Sister's Journey (forthcoming; demo available)
Sunblaze
Teslagrad 2
(Honourable mentions go to Vermillion Descent, whose qualifications depend on whether you consider propelling oneself bodily through the air with the recoil from an arm-mounted railgun to be "air dashing", and @punkitt-is-here's forthcoming Susan Taxpayer, which is a pixel-art precision puzzle platformer starring a red-haired woman with frankly unhinged movement tech, but as far as I'm aware she doesn't have an air dash per se.)
Announcing my fun little holiday stream! I'll play a small selection of Christmas SAGE games that looked fun to me (including a new Susan Taxpayer Demo 👀) and afterwards I'll rank my most anticipated games (hopefully) coming out next year!!
I'll be happy to see ya'll there, this week at a stream at twitch.tv/jeadyvt
