I replaced all of my temporary wall pieces (generated mockups of concept art for project ideas) with some proper artwork. All of these hold a special place in my heart, but more importantly, the box art from this era is just out of this world good. Extremely happy with how well these came out!

🤌to the designers of this specific rest room over at @teamcherry.bsky.social - incredibly effective and lovely level design. While not the most impactful on me specifically, I got a glimpse of what it could have been for others, and it's those little things that make this game so great.

Trying to be better about supporting my backlog of games. Here's "Tower of Greed", built in collaboration with @gemfruit.bsky.social, which got over 1 million plays on #Kongregate alone. Still one of my favorites. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

I just read this article about Steam's colossal mistake that cost multiple members of an indie studio more mental anguish than words or money can possibly replace, IMHO. In order to stay afloat, I've shared ROOMS, didn't eat out, etc, for years - it's brutal. www.polygon.com/valve-steam-...

polygon.comValve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launchA decade's worth of work in Steam's early access went down the gutter, and the developers spent almost a year wondering why their game failed

I don't think Valve is about to give them any cash (or buy 100k units and give them away), so the next best compensation would be to promote the HELL out of their next game, significantly beyond a 24 hour front page. Google ads, marketing specialist assigned, etc.

I just switched backed to a long abandoned YouTube Channel account (due to a handle issue, I got it back!), only to find that the algorithm there is so pure, so kind, so gentle. Video game music, game dev, creativity - not all the politics and garbage on my main. How serendipitous ♪♫

When I was in Korea recently, there was a cat cafe on the main Myeongdong strip, and I wanted to go sooooo bad, but you had to block out a half hour, and some of my crew was allergic. Maybe I will run my own now.

This admin is fucking cooked, it won't be pretty, but we're 100% going to get there. Hit the streets, your 1px face on a TV screen can change the world, as long as there are enough of us. I plan to make games and be creative in this life, not be a slave to absolute losers. www.nokings.org

A decade...it's been too long. This photo is kind of overwhelming for me, in so many ways. From the individual events each person in this photo has gone through (divorce, loss of loved ones, depression, war), to the strength and growth that each has demonstrated during those trying times. 1/2

It's also a reminder of the trajectory my life was once on, and one I wish more than anything to get back to. I don't think I have a more fitting photo that captures just how special meeting unique people from around the world can be. I greatly look forward to diving back into game dev <3 2/2

There's a LittleFreeLibrary.org box on my dog walk route, so I obviously added a #Zelda Wind Waker Outset Island figure to it. Link is safe in the warmth, much like I am here in Vermont, USA, but the weather / politics outside are "dangerous to go alone!" level. Even when I am safe, WE must fight.

@elgato.com Please add "Delete" to the right click context menu within the profiles settings screen, as that functionality is only accessible from right-clicking on the numbers within the main app, which isn't intuitive. If you can ADD pages from a location, you can REMOVE them too, not one way.

My mantra for 2025 is to be it all the ways. Rather than get caught up design choices, which is better, how to do what, I'm just going to DO. I can build all 3 options faster than I can pick one, so why not just do until I learn, and some day take less time on step 1. 2025, year of Do.

I just got legitimately excited to work on a project after taking notes for the first time in years (very hard years). I'm genuinely excited to wake up and put some serious hours into this tomorrow. For the love of god, universe, let this wind in my sails last, give me 24 hours I beg you ♪♫

My 8BitDo Pro 2 controller saw some very heavy use, but recently bit the dust (I had repaired it once), and I'm back to using my SF30 Pro. Luckily there's a new hall effect joystick upgrade, as well as a sleek translucent purple design, so that will be here in a week. shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bi...

Somewhere in my Memory. A tribute to my family, played on the instruments that they owned and performed growing up, before eventually passing them down to me. In honor of my dad (clarinet) and aunt (harp), and in memory of my mom (flute/picc) and uncle (saxophone). Happy holidays 🎄❤️

I saw Super Guitar Bros and Bit Brigade for the first time last night, such an awesome show! SGB played a ton of great music, from Zelda, DKC, Chrono Trigger / Cross, and more, while Bit Brigade rocked through F-Zero, followed by a journey through Super Mario World that was highly entertaining.

I nearly burned a hole through this staring it down in a client's basement - she saw this and offered it to me, which I gladly accepted. While it's just the box (with booklets), it'll make a fine shelf piece.

You are up to date.
