Hello!! Gonna kick things off with a collection of illustrations I've done over the past years. I feel like I haven't drawn anything personal in quite a while, but I still draw things every now and then. (mostly I am hiding in the shadows doing biz dev and meetings)

I love the bluffs!

I don’t really post much on Bluesky about my personal travels (mostly work) but please enjoy some of the memorable drinks I’ve had so far in Japan! Can’t wait to draw some of these later ☺️

This is a fantastic write-up, thank you so much!! And sure, we'd love to. As we're still adding our accessibility features, is it alright if we save it to fill out later, or should we fill it out now?

The branding of this deck weirdly kind of reminds me of TIFF??

It's pretty low-challenge with an emphasis on exploration and curiosity. We're approaching a very non-linear format for quests and endings (kind of like BotW?), and we are planning on bringing it to console! Currently works well on Steamdeck and controller.

It can be played single player or couch-co-op, with one person controlling the capybara and the other playing the crow. It's a playful world with lots of interactivity and a heartfelt story about found family :)
