My newest game is out! Blind Faith is a short PSX-Style horror adventure game about doomed cults and gothic Americana.

20 years ago, a cult vanished. Search for a missing person in their old house.
But watch out. The cultists are gone, but something remained.

Custom Pixel Font & Gradient Effect shader. Working on the intro animation.

The font has color-channel separated gradients to allow shader to blend gradients - so you can select or animate any blend of colors you want - pretty sweet I think!

My controversial take of the day: I do not care for One Chance (that one flash game)

It insists upon itself. But like, for real.

Comic-Con time, once again I can take out my Balatro cosplay from my closet :3
I swear I will make a new cardboard cosplay to wear everywhere as soon as another indie game pops off that I play for 100 hours and make it my mission to promote

1. New Zealand's right-wing govt has banned new prescriptions of puberty blockers in a major concession to its far-right flank.

The move was to be announced by the health minister, but the far-right NZ First preempted it, calling it a "win in the war on woke."

If you're looking for kickass but often underlit games, I can recommend looking at game award nominations from different nations and regions. There's always something fun and innovative

This year's Dutch Game Awards has Grunn, Microtopia and RiftRiff as best game nomination. All very indie & great!
