I want more bike games. Season was gorgeous and my favorite kind of heartbreaking. Sable had killer dialogue and sci-fi worldbuilding. It doesn't even need to be a melancholy narrative game! Just give me more game bikes.

I played Neon Gen Omega and it feels like a game I summoned into being. The demo gives you a feel for the loop, even if it's a bit rough.

Each time I work from office, I draw a tarot card and do a silly reading for my team. It's often not hard to link the mystic imagery of the cards to the complicated workings of AAA game dev

As a follow-up to my earlier @sandwitchdev.bsky.social post - I finished it and it has a gorgeous, poignant ending. The final time the track by Antymony kicks in is just 💔

Another Caravan Sandwitch post. I reached the cave town of cute frog people. They communicate through the mycellium! Reminds me of some of the plans @nicholaskole.bsky.social and I had for the underground in Everhaven

As a treat for finally landing a job after 6 grueling months, I bought @sandwitchdev.bsky.social. I knew I would love it after only a short time with the demo. I wasn't wrong, and the storytelling and exploration are just exactly what I want right now.

Ok, I've written some (charming) smut for a test and done a little freelance consulting. I deserve some Dragon's Dogma 2, as a treat

On Frontiers of Pandora, I was the ND for the Rookery, where you climb up and get one of the biggest power fantasies of the game - the ikran (your flying mount). I wanted the level to be not just vertical but vertigo-inducing. This was driven by some key gameplay concerns...

Concept Artists should be your absolute best friends. That art is going to do more for tone, character, and curiosity than your Confluence page ever could (sorry Confluence I love you)
This is Graf, a character I designed with Nick Kole on Everhaven. Let's talk about our fave sad dad.
