First Purified twitter post!
It's still missing a lot, but it's at a point where I feel confident about showing something!
So here we are, 60 frames third person boss shooter on a 10 year old dead console, n i c e!

Still doing the holiday thing, but seeing it running is just something else you know. 👀
Anyone know of a way to have a cartridge made, even overwriting an old one would be cool, just to have a "real" one, haha!

Also please don't be surprised if there are some bugs I've missed, while I've done a lot of testing on different machines it's impossible to catch them all! 🙏
Not gonna promise anything, but there might be an early Christmas gift coming to
#vitaisland
(that's the goal anyways)🙏
Enjoy my crunchy audio capture in the meantime and I hope to update soon again!
#purified
I unfortunately don't have that many videos or pictures of me starting the project, but this is the first test running on the Vita from May earlier this year!
Don't know about you but I love seeing the early stuff, haha.

To all PS Vita players out there, Purified is a must. If you like 3rd person shooters and a good challenge, try this master piece created by
@BalderDragon
!
To me, is the most fantastic hombrew game ever!
(Warning: the bosses will try to make you their bitch ha ha)
#Purified
Before I go back underground to do more work (and also celebrate Christmas) I'll leave you all with this.
Part Eva Unit, part Adam smasher and part Dancer of the Boreal Valley, the next Boss is Ripjaw.
She has an attack I currently only refer to as the "Akira Laser". 👀🙏
I'm currently hard at work Making Bosses and prepping them for animation.
Something equally important but not as exciting is the menu, which I just made the first version of, here you go! 🙏

Thank you so much man, and thanks for sticking with me and believing in the project this whole time! 🙏

I've been dealing with some non-covid medical issues the past months on top of doing my day job so my energy has been really low, but I did draw this weekend at least! 💪
Look at this for 10 minutes and permanently damage your eyes! 🙏

#vitaisland
I've also finished a first boss, not the smartest but pretty nice anyways.
Bosses have states based on damage and can be executed for extra points! 🙏

#VitaIsland
I've never done a lot of these, but maybe it'd be fun to be more active on here with more than just Purified stuff!

Portable Gaming Roundup: Purified udpate- I hope everyone on

is playing the alpha and listening to the awesome Brian Czernikowski OST
@BalderDragon
Today i installed Purified on my 2nd Vita, cause the game is so awesome that i wanted to play it on all of my Vitas. Somehow, i managed to beat the game in only two tries! It was one of the hardest games of my life. Totally worth it. Still, no secrets found.. u.u
@BalderDragon
Been like 280 days or something, I'm not dead just yet! 🙏
But I have been giving myself time to breathe, between work and proper free time it's been hard to find energy for hobby gamedev sadly and trying to force it will just burn me out.
#purified
#vitaisland
I've also done some work on the menu in-between other stuff, it's gotten a visual overhaul and a working codex!
The codex isn't properly populated yet of course, but it's a place to read about the world!
#purified
#VitaIsland
There's a lot of not very interesting stuff going on right now, but after some real good feedback on logo readability I made a revision that I think works better!
Please let me know what you think! 🙏
#purified
#gamedev
Absolutely crazy, thank you so so much! ❤️
Amazing work by everyone, contestants as well as organizers, the Vita scene is infinitely better thanks to you all!
We have posted the results of the contest. You can find them now on our website. We want to thanks all the participants for their submissions, as well as everyone for their support. We have gathered a total of 2000€ !
A friend is making a baller game, and I had the privilige to help out! Been doing combat design, writing and dabbled in code on this cool project for the PS Vita. Go follow Balder for more footage!

Hey, sorry for the radio silence, I do have a habit of getting into some pretty severe slumps.
But, the last couple of weeks I've made a lot of good progress, not enough to give you guys a early Christmas present, but enough to post at least! 🙏
We have gathered around 41 public votes through our discord, thank you !
Reminder that you still have time to submit your vote through our discord server.
We will gather the votes, public and judges voting and release the results at the end of the week.
@XVIITHEVILLAIN
As soon as it's on the FuHEN website it'll be available, I will also upload on other sites, but I haven't looked into that proper just yet, haha!
Fun fact, this test runs approximately as hot as the current version.
Not a great score for a test without anything in it, but pretty cool for what the game is currently! 🙏
@Vanitasnomore
@KyuHENcontest
Thank you so much for sticking with me since the beginning, I'm so glad it lived up to expectations, haha!
And I can't wait to get the new content out there for you! 🙏❤️
@Rxanadu
Hahah, I'm gonna be real, that's exactly what I'm going for. My design process is literally doing 90s-2000s tropes and designs to such an absurd degree that it wraps around to being cool again, or that's what I tell myself, I just like the vibes 🙏😂
@Vanitasnomore
Hahah, okay, I'm impressed, I didn't think someone would beat it this quick! 😂
Better get on releasing that new level! 🏃♂️
But it makes me really happy that you enjoy it so much, makes me hyped to do more! ❤️
@TheKDiaz123
@2_Old_4_Gaming
It's very easy, saw a video the other day doing it all directly on the Vita in a couple of minutes 🤫
But thank you, hopefully you remember me when you get to cracking, haha 😉
@Adrian10753347
Thank you so much! 🙏
Yeah, I saw some people talking about a sensitivity slider, it'll be added to the next version along with some more fixes and content! 😄
Gonna look more seriously into the gyro as well!
@VitaVsm
Not for Purified, it's only really designed for one player, haha!
But I might make something multiplayer in the future 👀
Can't wait for you to play it! 🙏
@lllOHMSlll
@BLOODYJAYDEN
I'm sad to say none of the above, as of now at least it's a homebrew game for the PS Vita!
But I'm not against a PC release a bit down the line!
@VitaVsm
Yeah, first release will have One level with 3 Bosses and 9 Different Enemies, it will also have a tutorial.
Updates after that will be new Levels, Bosses, Enemies and Weapons! 💪🙏
@TheDarkMesh
Thank so much you! 🙏
Currently I haven't planned one, I wanna focus on the Vita version for a bit, but there could definitely be a PC release down the line!
