I've been quietly developing a new web game platform for the last year, with my friend @bjornithopter.bsky.social. This week, we're announcing it's called Player Galaxy (previously PlayFly).
I wrote a bit about our history and goals here, and what's next:
www.playergalaxy.com/news/feed?it...
I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.
NEW DLC OUT NOW!

I've been doing a bit of consulting on this project over the past year, and the team finally released a Demo for Steam Next Fest. People seem to be digging it! It's a bit like a throwback to classic Call of Duty zombie mode, with a supernatural twist:

After almost a year of digital nomad travel, I'm back in Wisconsin for the next 3 months. After that I'm getting back on a plane - the opportunity to keep doing this just feels too good to pass up.
Also I've got access to my PS5 for a bit. What should I play?
🎙️Starting a podcast: Playing it Forward.
Going through every job in games, A to Z, with people who actually do them.
First up: Audio.
Looking for 2-3 audio designers to share how they got in and what they'd tell the next generation.
Know someone? Send them my way.
So happy with how this came out. Been in my head for about a decade. Five minutes, free, in-browser, requires audio you can hear. It's a bit of what you expect, and so much of what you absolutely do not.

Don't spoil it, just play!

I’ve been slowly working on this interactive ceramics projects for a few months now and I finally have a working prototype. Park the car in the driveway and the light in the house turns on! There’s more than needs to be done, but I’m excited that it works!
A rule I established for my team when Im directing:
No one in the production works outside of the engine
It saves a lot of time and headaches and eventually the team members that felt more insecure end up feeling super empowered.
I'm available for work!
- Characters
- Rigging and Animations
- Environments Art
I've worked on Teardown, Vampire Crawlers, Moonglow Bay and many more!

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE!
Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months.
A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA
We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and...
We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray.
Now you have to see it, too 😅
I made a weird little game about government policy. It's very short and can be played in a few minutes, right in your browser: otrain13.itch.io/policy-initi...
Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state.
A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface.
And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
It's obviously bait to call 2026 a weak year for games but it's been such a good year. VHOLUME, Big Walk, Incident at Galley House, 868-BACK, Cairn?? Slay the Spire 2???? Penguin Colony and 500 Finger Fillet before the year's out??????? What planet do you need to be on to consider it weak lol.
🚨Nighthawks is coming SEPTEMBER 22ND!🚨
The secret is out. Vampires exist. You're one of them. Step out of the shadows and prove that even the darkest streets can lead to brighter tomorrows.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to go see a real solar eclipse in Spain. It was incredible.
I had already added an eclipse to Race The Sun: Challenge Edition, but it felt wholly insufficient after seeing the real thing.
So here's the new version.
