Redesigned one of the oldest characters in my game this week! What do you think?

Old Redeye gives you the tools to survive… but he’s also a bit of a heckler.

(Hopefully it’s obvious which one is the new one 👀)

Sometimes I wish github had a comment section so when a repo saves me hours and hours I could just comment “I love you”

finally got the dynamic music system working enough to be able to show it off. check out that seamless transition between main menu theme and game theme! #gamedev

Sometimes I’m writing a melody and it flows a little too well and I go “wait …

…am I stealing this?”

And there’s no search engine for that, folks

I’ve had an unfinished draft of this song for 5 whole years, and now it’s out!!

If you like noir-y stuff, Bond themes, or lofi, I think you’ll be into it

Hey should I get Metaphor RE:Fantazio while it’s on sale even though the chances of me having time to play it in the near future are less than zero?

BlackthornProd invited me back to be first on a Pass The Game Challenge, with the irresistible prompt that I could make whatever music I wanted.

Noir ensued!

I actually removed Twitter from my phone and deleted my account.

It felt really nice.

All I was getting from it were notifications that tended to harm my mood… so there was really no loss 😅

Bubble Frog DX has now officially launched on Steam and @itch.io!

60 levels, lots of Onigiri, and an unhealthy amount of spikes! The Game Boy Color game you didn't get to play when you was a kid because it didn't exist yet!

My first ever game dev showcase is over! SXSW Sydney, what a dream

It feels like the end of summer camp in that I had so much fun and met so many cool people and now I’d like a nap 😴
