Mood Retro is a new game studio with roots in open source games for education, tinkerers and with a goal to make a open world game that will be published on Steam and work cross platform and help people learn about gamedev.

Created a Pico8 game demo for a larger release of a new game, click the images below to launch the Pico8 games!

The full spacevoid game is in beta and has multiple bosses and a door key system, runs on all major platforms. Contact us if you are interested in being in the beta program.

The plan is launching a community game in Godot eventually for now focusing on Unity.

Projects in Unreal and Godot and plan on creating educational content as well and document the journey and tradeoffs of the different technology vs creating my own engine.

Excited to share and to continue on this learning and creative journey. I have a working system and the game has 5 levels so far.

Initial early Release early access is planned for 2027 or 2028 and will be uploading screenshots soon like the one above which shows a low poly tree and mushroom I created in blender.

The 3rd screenshot is another pico8 game my daughter made (she is 6)!

The two screenshots here are from two 2d open source games and in a working state and published on Github.

The first open source one I created using C++ and SDL called Shadow Forest

2nd game in Python called ButterflyAdventure using pyzero. If you are interested in learning and tinkering let me know.
