Hey everyone! As promised, here is a major update to the game's development along with a public test build for you guys to try out. The game is available in both Gamejolt and Itch.io.
This build is about 30% of what version 1.0 is gonna be and still has alot of bugs and placeholder assets, but here are the contents, features, known bugs, and issues.
Hello! It's been awhile.
Just a small update, you're probably wondering why I haven't posted in quite sometime. It's simply because, for the two times I did make an article awhile after, I got tremendously sick. So much so that I was starting to think maybe writing here is cursed.
Hopefully after writing this, I don't get sick again. Otherwise, I really will believe some supernatural force is stopping me from expressing my thoughts here and sharing my old stories with you.
So, I will be back to posting stuff here as usual. Just got a few more stories to share from past projects and then I'll focus more on updates for what I'm currently working on, but if you're more interested in the latter, I have setup a Gamejolt and Itchi.io pages for The Final Flame. Every update I post about it here, I'll likely copy-paste there for your convenience, and in hopes that the game will have a wider reach.
Lastly, I also commissioned Rosen for the new banner for the blog, please do check her out and commission her as well whenever she's open, and thank you to everyone who's been taking the time to read my posts here.
As promised, I would show you guys all the stuff I made from the past while working on "The Final Flame". Going all the way back to the very beginning.
While this maybe what I think is the most cringe thing I've ever made... "The Endless Rebellion" or what I would refer to as TER, is what brought me where I am today and is probably something all my older friends will remember me of.

Eyo! I might as well give you guys some updates or at least lay out what to look forward to for 2025. Let this also be a reminder for me onto what I need to do and when I should finish them.
First of all, if you've known me before I've created this blog, of course would be "The Final Flame". It is a top-down 2D action game much like an older project of mine, but this time as a roguelite. I aim to get a demo out by April 5, 2025 and then keep building on it for about a year.

Welcome!
I am MarcZaf, also known as "The Bread Igniter" I am a hobbyist artist, game designer/developer, animator, though I have worked/still work professionally in these fields for the past decade, I really don't think that highly of myself to call myself a professional.
I have also streamed on twitch as a vtuber under the same name for about more than 3 years now. Here's an illustration in case you need a refresher or if this would be our first time meeting.

The title "Bread Igniter" actually came from a wordplay of "Blade Igniter" in japanese katakana which is "Burēdo Igunaita" which in turn was just a title a came up for my original character named Zafer Belfony, and we'll delve more into that as we go forward.
Now, as you can see as of the moment, there's still not much on this blog. However, this will be a hub for where I will put most of my projects or everything in relation to me. So please bear with it for now, I really appreciate it and I hope you drop by again soon. Hopefully by then, I would've at least put up stuff for you to enjoy.
Cheers!
