Trying to make some fall themed art. They look like trash but I feel like I'm learning something. So, I guess that's a good thing.

Not gonna lie, the credits song for Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman goes so hard. I really can't get over how good this sounds.

Learning how to use a DAW,
and figuring out how to manage plugins,
and virtual instrument programs,
and soundfonts,
and soundfont players,
and when to use which of these things,
and how to use them together,
and how to compose anything even kind of good...
is melting my brain. But I will press on.

I made this little bird guy while learning to do pixel art. I feel like he needs to be used in one of my projects.

Something I noticed from trying to get acclimated to the community and watching a bunch of devlogs, I find myself getting a little overwhelmed and discouraged. What makes me think I can do what they do?

Voila. Here I am. Pretending I'm cocky enough that I have a place in the crowded indie dev world. But I'm going to try! And I'm going to keep myself grounded. If success arrives, I'll scream. But success is not my goal, the journey is.

I just realized how funny it is that you can use magic near Locke and he is just completely clueless about it until you get Edgar in the party who properly freaks out about it.

Ok. I'm putting my phone down for the rest of the day. Don't let me pick it back up. I mean it, DON'T!
There now I've absolved myself. If I'm on my phone again that's on y'all.

Don't tell me to have compassion for any Trump voters right now.
Until a few days ago I was light handed with my posts on Facebook. I detest that platform and very rarely endure opening it, but I have a lot of distant family and friends I feel the need to remain connected to.

Reminder that this game's soundtrack had a legendary team of composers on it. The juxtaposition of Kirkhope's zaniness and Shimomua's dramatic tension makes me so happy.

I'mma be real with y'all, Dawntrail has one glaring problem. I'm not talking about the common complaints about characters and plot.
