Hey r/Games!

I'm Mark Mayers! 13 years ago I started a journey to develop a first-person puzzle game called Desolus, which is a game where you explore a city of Gothic architecture torn between time. Think of it like Portal meets Myst!

You can see the game's development history in my DevLog, if you're curious!

This started as a solo development project, but in the last 3 years I assembled a team to help me finish.

I'm here with: u/QAG_TyTaylor (Ty Taylor) who published the game and helped with porting work and optimization, u/lavinasaurus (Chris Lavina) who was the development director of the game and organized our entire team, u/maxwellsandler (Max Sandler) who did a fantastic job designing and implementing sound for the game, u/D_Milner (Desiree Milner) who optimized all of our art assets which allowed the game to run well on consoles, and finally u/Kyle_Landry_Piano (Kyle Landry) who wrote the game's original piano soundtrack!

Desolus is now available on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, Playstation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

You can also check out our release trailer here!

Ask us anything!
