Screenshot of "It's Going to be OK", a singleplayer puzzle board game about coordinating mutual aid networks. A hand drawn map is populated by hand drawn meeples, almost all of whom have scary red exclamation points (indicating they have unmet needs).

So, my little ps1 game is about Minneosta, rebellion, and aliens. And all the emotions I've been feeling for the past month or so. Please support my work.

Hijacked my ocean shoreline effects to make spatialized ocean sounds. There's an ocean "speaker" that follows the camera, staying just off-shore. I tweak its panning strength so it sounds like it has a rough direction, not coming from a single point. Sound on! 🔊

Starting to form more of a game with camera work. I'm realizing how smooth floating calculations are, and that a real ps1 not having that logic makes a whole world of difference.

Photo of drag performer Benny Dreadful after a show. He's wearing black-and-white full-faced makeup, hair pulled up all crazy (like John Nance in Eraserhead), with a black vest that's been painted on (in a style similar to Sam Cox). The lighting is quite purple. Photo of drag performer Benny Dreadful after a show. He's turned around go show the back of the vest, which has a painting of the Patrick-looking-down meme (who is also wearing drag makeup).

My wife asked if I was wearing my cast and crew shirt to the Iron Lung screening I'm attending, and I was like "maybe, but I like being anonymous"

She looked at me like I was crazy and, yeah, I guess I deserve to show off a little bit this once.

They will get ya, but they sometimes make baffling choices...
Added animations for the climbing state so they aren't just mashing against the wall.
