LI Retro Gaming Expo + New Intro + New Demo!
Lack of dev log updates rarely means a lack of progress on Nixie and this summer was no exception. The project is alive and well with some exciting new updates, all of which were unveiled this past weekend at Long Island Retro Gaming expo!
Nixie went to MAGFest! + a new demo!

Meeting with these eccentric […]
Introducing the 3 Factions
WARNING: Nerdy deep lore from an unfinished robot video game has been detected. Proceed at your own risk! Anyway, I’ve started writing the description and history of the 3 factions I have planned for Nixie. I hope to avoid any complaints about “not enough back story” as most of the history written here won’t actually […]
Meet Jaxa
Jaxa is a lover of shiny objects. She is a member of the Opuloid race, an eccentric high society of robots devoted to opulence and splendor. Though her prime directive is to seek valuable treasures and rare oddities, she lives modestly compared to the ruling class of the Opuloids, and often scoffs at their obsession […]
