Created an updated gameplay reel for a private talk I'm giving on Wednesday.
I'll be at Tokyo Indies tonight to support my friends presentations about his game Doom Spiral. I've been helping out with the project a bit and it'll be releasing soon! He'll be sharing how the feedback at various Tokyo Indies demo sessions has helped the project.

The Procession of Horses in Motion. A 5 minute 55 second experimental software film made with Unity3D that renders thousands of horses in realtime. The focus for this was purely on cinematic poetics rather than interactivity.

Had a fun design session with some friends to brainstorm the art direction for a community organization focused on forging connection. It embraces messiness, natural texture, collage, handwriting, tactility. The process will be more analog and take more time. But it will contain the full human touch

2026 is going to be the year I start making more autobiographical focused vignette games. Games about waiting for the bus in Winnipeg during -50°C winters. Games about walking 6 hours to see 20000 birds land on a pond. Games about going to Ethiopia after 30 years to see my grandma.
The memoir game isn't new, but it is having a moment.
I blogged about the boom of autobiographical games in the early 2010s -- and why the sub-genre is now returning with a vengeance.

Worked on this slowly throughout the last month. Lots of incredibly unique games to explore from @amazefest.bsky.social. My favourite part of this was adding the flamingo confetti explosion.

This has been a fun side obsession for me. Cataloging and organizing niche games feels like treasure hunting. This whole process has made me really appreciate the work of curation. This year hoping for some collaborations with writers, artists, devs, researches, and curators.

Helped my friend today with some bug testing and feedback on his [STATIC NOISES] shooter. It's got great visual and sound design inspired by other intense shooters like Hyper Demon.

This was one of my favourite games of the year. Highly recommend you check it out if you love games like Halo:CE and Half Life 2. Incredible level design and world building. It's also very short which is a big plus for me personally. Happy to see that this game is getting lots of praise.

Went to elementary school, junior high, and highschool music club performance showcase in my local area. There was one performance that was a mix of krumping and bollywood dance with these Dune looking costumes. Couldn't help but jump out of my seat and cheer loudly at the end. So talented.

If you have any favorite indie games, especially if they're on the more obscure/niche side of things, do consider leaving some kind comments. It can be really hard to stay motivated these days, and a little bit of kindness really does go a long way.
