Would you support a patreon? It would include regular updates, thoughts, design notes, exclusive games, first access, prototypes, and credits. But also we are scared of the damage money does to creativity and the pressure to deliver.

Next week I release The Light Of Our Yearning. I've seen a few people play it on stream after finding it on the @hauntedps1.bsky.social demo disk as the hidden game. But I have yet to see someone discover the full experience. Sivani, my partner and collaborator, did some excellent writing on this.

"ocean::ephemera . . . is a surrealist sea of sound. It captures that feeling of awe when you look at something you can’t quite make out, but it’s all so grand. The movement of waves, coupled with sound that fills up a vast unknowable space, enveloping you as you journey through… something."
here’s a small curation of games that exist outside the urge to be understood.
“Digital art: I want to be confused. I don’t want to understand. I want to see something for the first time again. Rarely a game does that, and when it does it’s a precious thing.”

@infinitetears.bsky.social just released a brief vignette that flashes frames of memories stored in undulating contours of infinite waters. Tangible reflections being swallowed by the waters of Time. Not lost, but mingling between salted light and shade.
A lovely little virtual experience.

The long road looms.

Walk as the sun still blooms in the sky
A silent stroll
Eternal. Unmarked.

Walk past midnight, before dawn
The trees tremble
And an unearthly serenade stutters to life.

In place of the sun, a cosmic being—
It beckons.
