I have a captive audience next week to talk about my special interest - making homebrew Dreamcast games lol Check out the game I'll be talking about here: captkuso.itch.io/alien-taxi

Super happy to see Yerk release their first game on Steam! (I did some play testing and it's addictive too. Well done.)

god, you guys, just buy the indie game that looks kinda cool. don't play the demo, don't agonize over the reviews or wishlist, JUST BUY THE INDIE GAME!! if you didn't like it, oh well, whatever, maybe next time, meanwhile you supported an artist, thanks for coming to the gig, want a t-shirt?

Super cool range of projects tonight. Did not expect one based on Hypercard. (Broke my rule of not updating the demo on demo day).

Finished the monster truck boss in time for Carpoon's one year anniversary! I told Peach the composer that I would be done *checks watch* eight months ago. I'm glad though that my friends wanted a little more during play testing.

Easily worth $10. Arranger, Hole Down, and Flower Drops are a few standouts I've played if you get it.

While I don't get all games as physical media due to space, I still did for titles I'd like to go back to in the future. Marketing move for Sony to try and have it overshadowed by worse news.

just a quick reminder that i am very good at a lot of stuff, not just music! i was a web developer for over a decade, i'm a generalist programmer (i'll learn whatever you point me at), and you can see a lot of the stuff i've made in my spare time over at skye.computer :) reposts appreciated!

hi, i'm skye! 🌸 i'm a musician with over 20 years of experience in basically any genre you can throw at me. i've done large soundtracks, dynamic/reactive music, ambience, and plenty else! DM me to talk details, and in the meantime check out some of my discography: skyeash.bandcamp.com 🎶
