Been working on implementing ambient sfx over the past few days, and I wanted to show off some of it, but when I was idling in the menu the attract mode started, and conveniently the audio works in the attract mode too! So here's that!

We've done it. We've just hit the release button on our biggest game yet... DEMON TIDES IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! AHHHHH! An open world platforming adventure full of mysteries, challenges and a ton of customization! Express yourself through the movement and explore the oceans!

A friend said he is excited for the Pokémon Red/Green re-release so he can 'finally gamble again' and I had to remind him he can gamble any time he likes because he's an adult.

COMING SOON: 8 Year Anniversary Drop 🎉 We’re celebrating with THREE amazing physical releases! 🐶 Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines 🚀 Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip 🦆 Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping Plus a vinyl, standees and MORE! Find out more below!

It's so clever and ambitious, yet has that weird janky feeling of skilled developers exploring the possibilities of interaction in a 3D space for the first time. A mix of stuff that will become foundational to multiple genres and also strange mechanical tangents that give it a unique rhythm.

I used to have tweetbrain where my thoughts naturally formed into social media posts. I have been away so long I have nothing. I ate a banana today and it was pretty good.

Sorry I have not been so active recently - I have had some health issues and have been on a variety of whacky medications. My mood has been up and down in a way that I have felt uncomfortable sharing with others. I'm sorry!!

it is always so fun working on high areas of the map and fine tuning the beautiful vistas you see from up top :) - work in progress! (game is ABYSS X ZERO for those who do not know! an upcoming low-poly 3D metroidvania, developed by me and @ironfairy.bsky.social) #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegame

Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.
