Clover's Quadrants is available NOW! It's a challenging puzzle game where your four directions of movement are also inventory slots. Check out the demo / buy the full game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3191170/...

My game is now part of a bundle with three other excellent and recent puzzle games!

I'll be giving my talk in about 45 minutes! Here's the livestream:

Devs shouldn't have to be protecting their games, Valve should be protecting its shopfront: aftermath.site/steam-indie-ga...

I'll be giving a talk for ThinkyCon! I'll be going through the dynamic music and sound behind Clover's Quadrants. My talk will be at the end of the schedule on Monday, 4:30 PM Central US. Full schedule here: thinkygames.com/events/think...

friendly warning that the sudden flood of game mods (HD! VR! coop!) from people you've never heard of is an excellent way to distribute viruses and malware

When playtesting my demo, I discovered: - Godot was not stripping the non-demo levels out of the build like I expected it to - the level select had a bug where you could select level -1, which would send you immediately to the very final level I got some very confused DMs about it lol

I'm writing a mod in C# and it's reporting a warning on line 3 of a file but the warning is blank for some reason so the "problems" overview just looks like this

I've never actually engaged with Geller's work, but his current controversy has been on my mind all week. Lots of complex thoughts to work through. Geordie Greep, whose work I am very attached to, will probably be replacing him for this next week. Fuck.

Playing with @makkon.bsky.social's concrete textures, tinkering with Godot's 3D systems, and learning GodotVMF.

At the very least, my whole hacky setup for having the motion vector solving shader include the contents of my OBS scene has proven to be super useful for a variety of existing effects of mine. Here's a test with my old datamoshing shader, now properly bleeding blocks over the game from my vtuber.

people are like "making my dream game!" and then the game is sokoban

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Working on stuff I don't want to spoil so uh. Here:

Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss talks about how men need to hold other men accountable for rape and sexual assault.

I can now resize and reshape puzzles.

Working on a new game. It's going well!

MONOMOON, my non-linear game about exploration and discovery launches on Steam November 11th! With no proper instructions, you must deduce and achieve your goals as you solve puzzles, find mysterious items, and uncover secrets hiding right under your nose.

I've been enjoying this! Nothing groundbreaking, but the puzzle design is pretty solid. I intend on 100%ing it.

no one should have sex with anyone at valve until they quit delisting indie games for the mildest depictions of sexuality

Celebrating release from publisher! Doing a weeklong sale of all my stuff, truly independent once again... and also my birthday week! Would very much appreciate taking a look and seeing if you like anything <3 store.steampowered.com/news/app/351...

never make a portal mod

Finished Big Walk with my friend group today. A lovely and touching piece of game design. I hope that co-op games trend in this direction - carefully crafted campaigns instead of infinite random generation.

almost done with my rooftops jam map! got bored of pasting windows onto houses so I started pasting faces, maybe it's just my thing I do now

first act is a straightforward recreation of the original's test chambers with portal 2 assets it's the second act that's really notable as it reconstructs the entire level design, again to fit portal 2's style

If one such thing as a paid gamedev scene does exist, and they're somehow looking for 3d artists. Hit me up or something because I am Broke. These are assets I've done:
