Vacuous is a minimalistic action/puzzle game for Windows PC. Featuring an original soundtrack by ZABIE. It is out now on itch.io!
It has been a while since I've kept the dev logs for Vacuous up-to-date. This is both due to my not wanting to spoil parts of the game and also, maybe, I don't know, laziness? But I haven't been so lazy as to give up on the game entirely. It is out now!
Enjoy! I'm going to rest for a bit now before I begin my next big project.
Color schemes? In this post I describe how to make color swaps that are not lame but actually cool!
Some questionable numbers regarding the progress of the game's development and the first trailer!
What is the purpose of making video games in the first place? How do you design a game to follow the principles derived from thinking through that problem?...
Apparently polish is a very important thing to add to a video game, so I talk about my attempts to apply it to my own! Animating sequences, fixing bugs...
vacuous means STUPID or MORONIC did you know this?? If you describe something as VACUOUS it means it has no intelligence. Not a great name for a game really :)
