it's got fingerstyle guitar, it's got banjo (!), it's got clarinet (?!)... but most importantly it's an emotionally devastating porter robinson song cover ππΉ
I've not had much of a chance to do some photo work the last little while unfortunately. However, for those of you interested in my music, I've just finished a new @porterrobinson.com acoustic arrangement - this time for more than just fingerstyle guitar! :D #music soundcloud.com/rosiestquart...

Again, immense gratitude to everyone who backed the project! There's still so many tasty things to include in the game if we reach them stretch goals π
WE MET OUR CROWDFUNDING GOAL Thank you so much for your support! But the campaign is not over yet: π www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... Be sure to back SeverLink and expand our development capabilities for more content and mechanics! #screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #y2k #indiegame #gamedev
damn... didn't have this on my bingo card
deeply disappointed to find out that the newest zium release has been compromised by ai by its curator (to my knowledge, the others involved did not) who published an incredibly disappointing blog post that kinda taints my ability to trust the project moving forward thezium.art/onAI

i remember getting a beta key and providing a bit of feedback for this! the world feels so tangible in it... i can see its DNA in a lot of recent indies, letting you exist in a place for a bit
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor came out 10 years ago today, sept 16, 2016. i dont even know how to feel about that right now
glad i got to do a run of this over the weekend! there's enough polish and depth that the game could launch in its current state tomorrow and i'd want to play it. so much that can be done with good UI/UX!
Fuck it. Playtesting and feedback going well. If youβre in the queue for Vampirium: 1997 playtest, youβre in. Having a very good weekend.
