any pronouns ok. i make stuff. currently working on game dev!
instead of just focusing on the writing in game project i have decided the simple setup i have is Simply Not Good Enough so it's time to learn MORE COMPLICATED PROGRAMMING [the specter of every game dev who says to keep your game small looms behind me]

A bit of a postmortem - the worst roadblocks we ran into over a long development cycle, what drove us to the insanity of releasing a niche narrative indie game over Thanksgiving, how the first month on Steam shook out, and hopes for the future!

look if you watched as much anime for 8 year old girls as I do you'd know there is a stark difference between the personality of a girl who is blue and a girl who is purple. In fact they couldn't be more different.

Happy birthday to Shirley Jackson, an all-time favorite of mine.

To celebrate, here's my favorite Jackson paperback cover art, an image that famously captures the central theme of The Lottery: boobs.

For no reason I sat down today and wrote 6k words of observations and tips about the itchio algo.

Why's my game suddenly doing so well? What does deindexing even mean? How can I help my game? I try to explain these things using what I've learned over the years.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
