The full version of Aeon Nightmares, my story focused 2D platformer, is finally out. 

Compared to the demo, it has more than double the content, more boss fights, more interesting visuals, more music, more items, more secrets and much more. I did my best to address the issues the demo had, especially in terms of leaning more into the story elements and optional content.

Honestly, I can't believe the game is actually done now.  When you work on something for this long as a solo developer, it really feels like it's never going to be ready. Cave Story, probably the biggest inspiration for this game, also took five years I believe. I think I finally have an idea of what Pixel must have felt like working on that for so long. If, by any chance, you are a solo developer reading this, I hope you know what you are getting into when you try to make your dream game a reality.

When I started on this thing, I thought it would take something like 2 years. As the project dragged on and on, I really asked myself countless times whether it's even worth it to keep going or not. That being said... Now that it's finally done, I really feel like it was worth it since if anything, this proves to me that I can stick to a project and actually finish it.

I don't think I'll ever make a game of this magnitude ever again, though. Surely, my next project is only going to take 2 years max.

Thank you for reading and merry Xmas! I hope you'll give my game a try.
