Devlog 0: Model of the New Star

Hello! 👋

So, this is the first devlog for my big project for 2026, with the working title Model of the New Star.

There’s nothing here yet, but I’ll be developing the game and posting builds through 2026.

Right now, the game only exists as eighteen bullet points in a notebook and a scramble of ideas in my head. But hopefully, by the end of the year, I’ll have a playable chunk of a pixel-art, story-driven Metroidvania about a robot having a bad day.

I’ll be building a custom engine in Monogame, because the joy of building is far more interesting to me than shipping quickly!

Shout out to everyone else starting a game in 2026. Good luck and I’ll see you out there! ❤️
