I’ve been working on packaging for Dizzy Sheep Disaster lately, here’s a prototype of the e-reader booster pack design!

The label art is a mockup pending final design from @mteegfx.com, who I know is gonna make it look amazing!

Those bugs and features really do build up though. The affinity support experience has been: Search for [issue] to find an 8yo forum post stating they're "working on it" and/or a new thread every few months with the community response being "learn to work around it", and crickets in the changelog..

I'm super stoked to finally reveal these card designs, y'all. Everything from the text, illustration, and layout are the culmination of something I've been wanting to do for a long, hot minute; and @sarahlynne.bsky.social's been a total blast to work with on it.

The amazing @mteegfx.com has been working on card designs for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX for the Nintendo E-Reader and I’m loving the results! We’re getting close to ready!

Scan of a Batman page in which he puts on ski gear and leaps from a building. Alfred's there, btw.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

#Zatoichi Watch Log, s01e08
I enjoyed episode 7 so much it took me six months before I was ready to continue. Anyway, this is the first Zatoichi story both written and directed and its star, and is a straightforward futility of violence tale of tragedy.

I art directed and did graphics on this game. I promise it's something special

Rami Ismail (رامي) @ramiismail.com · Sep 3

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Hello! Despite some answers to my past post, and some searching on my end, I'm still looking for work. If your work/someone you know is hiring programmers (games, web, tools/engines; contract or full-time), let me know! DM me, I can provide more info.

Also open to pixel art or homebrew commissions.

Not everyone has an e-reader, so I’ve been working on a web-based version of Dizzy Sheep Disaster you can play from a QR code or a link. It’s coming together well! #screenshotsaturday

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 25

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

#Gaurodan is out!

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.
