Here's me being bad at a bit of fishing in the Rune Fencer Illyia demo. Rune Fencer Illyia is a Metroidvania by Nootbox games filled with a ton of minigames like our fishing hole. Music by me! #pixelart #Gamedev #indiedev #ドット絵 #VideoGameMusic #indiegamemusic #gamemusic #GameAudio #VideoGame

Proud to be working with the fine folks at Outersloth.

I've rejected many publisher offers over the years, big and small. Too predatory, too much risk foisted on the dev.

In contrast, Outersloth had one of the fairest contracts I've come across in the industry - for which I'm incredibly grateful.

whenever somebody asks me if I'm almost finished developing my indie game

Space Cobra: "The Game is Almost finished."
Bystander: "So what happens when it's finished?"
Space Cobra: "You don't know?"
Space Cobra: "That's when finishing the game begins."

Any time I get eggnog for the season I end up drinking two-three glasses at a time. It's just way too addicting. I can feel it clogging my arteries

New (used) half angled 24U (12U angled, 12U on bottom) rack I got super cheap locally! Still waiting on my rack ears for the Audient EVO though to finish setting everything up.
