CURRENT STATUS: Caravan prototype released; full development beginning soon!
I'll post updates in this thread and keep this original post updated with the latest links and status of development!
On June 10, 2026 I released NEOGEAR -Summer Caravan '26-, a 2-minute time-attack mode for web, Linux, Windows, and macOS. It's a prototype for what I hope will become a full, multi-stage game.

The caravan release features scoring centered on collecting chips dropped by defeating enemies and cancelling bullets.
The key art and character designs are by Chromatic Arcana, and the game design, coding, and sound effects are by me. Music tracks from doranarasi, under their permissive license.
