I am once again going to shill 10S Forever to anyone who will listen. It is a perfect game. You should go buy it. You should also buy it on Steam and leave a review. Do it cowards. Do it.

Working on cave design. It's pretty hard to make an entrance distinguishable. Trying this moss outline and hanging roots. #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

This one has done some what absurdly well across platforms. I'm very happy people are excited for the game and I'm really hoping the thing we're cooking up will live up to expectations. I'm trying very hard to make sure we're giving people what they want but also doing something new and cool....

This is, truly, a tragedy. But I come to you with a ray of hope... an new star: the beautiful 6 (or 8) points of JWST. Just as Hubble once opened our eyes to the heavens above with 4 pointed masterpieces, so too has James Webb brought a new longing in the hearts of man for the 6 pointed beyond.

important contribution to the discourse: they have taken my favorite shape

It is fascinating the ways in which the defraction spikes of a big tube in space has so shaped our shared cultural vision of "what a star is". To me, the spikey asterisks of the JWST represent a future where we *CAN* do better. It's hope, man. It feels like we need hope more than ever nowadays.

I know this is some raw ass earnestness, but I *did* kinda "make some art about it". Very early in finding the artstyle for HYPERBEAT, the JWST star was always prominent. I'm a big space lover, and this little star makes me feel like we aren't *completely* fucked. It's a symbol of trying our best.

For any dev friends in Seattle for PAX, let me know if you're going to be at the Orient Express tonight, I'd love to say Hi! (unrelated wip pic)
