A friend of mine told me about a foreclosed house his friend bought. It had a bunch of old broadcast equipment in it. They were about to throw everything away. Thankfully, I was able to poke around. I found a grail.

Congrats to @brittbrady.bsky.social for winning the logo design giveaway! He's making an awesome sidescrolling game for the GBC about a fish who uses bubbles to deal with enemies and the environment. Loved working on this logo, and give this dev a follow!

My little indie adventure is now officially rated E!!! It's kind of surreal, to be honest. Here's to more exciting things to come for Zephyr’s Pass and other things... 👀

I loved crafting the nostalgic art style of Zephyr’s Pass. It was a challenge, finding the balance between all my inspirations and bringing them together to trick the brain into rembering something that never existed, haha

Did this fan logo for one of my favorite GB games a few years ago. It's a brilliant showcase of storytelling and creative gameplay systems.

Wanna see how these vintage ads come together? It's far from just a filter or AI image. It's layers of photography, illustration, color correction, halftone effects, and degradation to reach the final image.

I'm super proud of some of the animations I fit into Zephyr’s Pass. Near the end of development, when I had time, I added embellishments to key parts that really made the difference.

What is CRTOGRPHR. It's a mantra for me, a vision for what I'm doing. Cartographers were a symbol of discovery long ago, bringing what people saw into a form so others might explore as well. That is my goal with game creation. #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #gbdev
