Made The Axis Unseen, a heavy metal horror game: http://bit.ly/3ryQ6Zg and Deedlee! Doo! Carkour! 🏎️💥http://bit.ly/43ne3H0 Worked on Skyrim, Fallout, etc.
Of course then there's also this classic, but that's just a single mesh that can only say "Fuck you"

One of my greatest artistic achievements.

It never stops being weird seeing my own handwriting being used for stuff I didn't write haha

I made my handwriting into a reusable "font" (it's just a bunch of meshes placed by hand) for Fallout

Reminds me of one of my favorite Fallout comics:

So this is from my year book from over 25 years ago when I graduated High School.

Now I'm a 21+ year industry vet and I've worked on a ton of titles, including Fallout and Skyrim and then went indie.

How do you think I did? lol😆

Yeah, I read everything as a kid and turned out fine.

Back in the 80s, this was normal reading for kids. :D

Oh no...

I'm starting a petition to extend Halloween just as long as people extend Christmas for these days.

Just a little tease of what I'm up to...
October 23, 2025 at 6:54 PM
BTW the game runs great on the Steam Deck, it's the main way I playtested it!

For the first time ever, The Axis Unseen is 50% off on Steam! 🔥

It's a perfect game for Halloween, you hunt monsters from folklore and it has a heavy metal soundtrack🎃🤘

I'm working on my next game which is more of a 1980s horror game and buying this helps me do that!

The kinds of bugs that I have to fix with my new game:
October 1, 2025 at 7:45 PM
The Axis Unseen is 45% off on Steam as part of the Steam Autumn Sale!🔥

For just a tad more you can get my "parkour with a car using explosions" game, "Deedlee Doo Carkour!"🚗💥

Grab them both now and tell your friends! Support indie devs like me! Thanks! 🤘

Started watching "Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Alone Tonight" and I'm really wondering if they played Point Lookout for Fallout 3 haha

I was the lead artist/co-lead on that DLC. Probably a coincidence but it's pretty spot on haha

I'm working on my third game and just completed a 7 week RV trip all the way across the country.

Hit up various parks like Glacier, Yellowstone and Badlands.

Awesome stuff! Living that solo indie dev live working wherever I want to!🤘

The Axis Unseen is 40% off for a week on Steam and "Deedlee Doo! Carkour!" is 20% off 🤘

You can even pick up both for just a tiny bit more - $15.82 USD!

So now is a perfect time to hunt some monsters from folklore or jump clay cars!
🏹🔥🤘
🏎️💥🎸

Thanks!

Been playing a ton of the solo board game "Final Girl" lately. It's a horror game where you try to rescue victims and stop various killers. You can mix and match the killers/locations.

It's super cool and right up my alley. Lots of emergent storytelling and great mechanics.

Been enjoying the band Grima lately. Dig the wild forest horror aesthetic.

Also check out this bundle I have going with Capy, it's a total steal!

The Axis Unseen, Below and all their soundtracks for only $22.38 USD.

I'm biased, but that's pretty good! :D

Pretty happy that as a solo dev I've now launched two games and I'm working on a third.🥳

The average Steam review score is 90%, not bad for someone who was primarily an artist before! 😆

Also, don't miss out and grab The Axis Unseen for 40% off right now on Steam!
June 27, 2025 at 11:54 PM
The Axis Unseen is currently 40% off for the Steam Summer Sale🥳

Spread the word and tell your friends!📢

Also drop a review if you get a chance🤘

I'm working on the third game now and the better the last two do, the more likely it is that I can keep doing this. Thanks!

Who else likes dark synthwave stuff like Carpenter Brut and Gost?

This stuff is so my jam.
