Autumn really is the best season. No daily headaches, no infernal heat preventing my brain from functioning. And best of all, I get to wear my wizard robe all day and look silly

I will be talking about FFXIV this week a lot more than usual, so please bear with me. I'm incredibly excited.

Sometimes I wonder what was SQEX thinking by making the Warriors of Darkness be 3 tanks, 1 healer, 1 prange and 1 caster

I've been curious about the Ayn Thor, but after a disappointing experience with one of Anbernic's products I've grown a bit wary of these retro handheld things...

Perfect Videogame Moments. This one: youtu.be/vxVjYBqExlE?... This is the coolest shit ever. "Will there never be peace between man and dragon" he says while running to carry Estinien on his back. And Thordan's transformation, the music... SQEX cooked here in ways that are beyond comprehension.

Lately my beautiful Coco is glued to me nearly 24/7. She has given me some feedback and I guess I will have to list her as a cat who worked on a game!

Some games I really want to check some time are Lunacid and Queen's Domain. I really dig the vibe and art!

Lately when I shower Coco will start crying and screaming at the shower until I prove to her that I'm well and alive. I guess she hates the water??

The only insight I can share is going from making metroidvanias most of my life, where you'd play as 1 character with a small moveset. To a game with a really high amount of party permutations and dozens of abilities and effects and aaaaa

Steam Next Fest... This situation is so lame and terrible. Can we please go back to a world where people made things by hand.

Sometimes I think about replaying Elden Ring or Dragon's Dogma 2 but it's really hard to commit to such long replays... I need to force myself on shorter games

My hype is off the charts. This is the only thing I think about.

Fan Festival 2026 in Tokyo is right around the corner with new info on the horizon! In the meantime, here's the Evercold extended teaser trailer once again ahead of the keynote! ๐Ÿ“… sqex.to/FF26JP_Sched...

Love SQEX and FromSoft for still doing the "CG opening video" that was so common in the PS1 and PS2 days

Lots of peer pressure to start on the 999 games. Guys, I only have so much energy! I need like 3 copies of myself to do everything ๐Ÿ˜‚

One of the things I enjoy the most as a developer is receiving messages (with screenshots) from players who cleared my games. It means so much to me

Despite all the hurdles, I'm so happy to be working on this project. When things start coming together, it is a really great feeling

Me fixing numbers all day and trying to perfect the balance and mechanics and gameplay and all that shit so the game part is at least as good as the art part ๐Ÿ˜ญ

By the way, I saw some people shortening Record of Dorathia to simply "Dorathia". I wonder if that's how people are going to refer to the game. Initially I thought it would be something like "Redora" since it's easier to type lol

I also really enjoyed the Savage tier in FFXIV back in January, but I had intense anxiety every tuesday lol. So it was good but painful.

There are so many more games I want to try out and play. But time and energy have not been available lately

Beat Shiva and Samael but the stat check on Demi-Fiend is brutal. I really don't want to replay the game over and over to farm stat-up items...

Finished Veritas Tales, and it was a really cool experience! (finally moving on with the backlog!)
