Pregnant Sonic is very happy it's my birthday month.

He should not exist, therefore, I shall consume him.

On this most official of Taco Tuesdays, you have only one question to ask yourself:

You wouldn't punch fast food with glasses, would you? If yes, then I have a game for you!

Check out Taco Terror, which is out NOW, for a release week discount: store.steampowered.com/app/2846730/...

Another banger day of being weird as fuck.

These items are unrelated. In related news, it's going to be a fun run-up to Taco Terror's release next month!

Hi, Minnesota, wtf? How do you have so much time to build weird crap like this??

When I can make clay people kiss, I know I've finally found a job I can enjoy for life.

One of the things that stops me in both #indiegamedev and #scriptwriting are small, idiotic jokes/references.

I wish I could say there was rhyme and/or reason, but sometimes you just chuckle over a long-lost brother with a twirly moustache, and it's in your next project ten minutes later.

There's something...tiny happening pretty soon.

The imagination runs wild....

The labor of love that is programming simple cutscenes in Unreal.

Today's big milestone was resizing and recalibrating the rest of the art for my upcoming game.

Here's an example of the efficiency savings.

Now multiply that across roughly 50 sprite sheets and another 40-50 loose sprites. I'm having an efficiency-gasm.

Dave and Busters is on a level of enablement I can get behind and/or should come with a therapist in the box.

Which super villain can you LEAST imagine shopping for batteries or milk?

I don't want to brag or anything, but I know what this guy looks like, even if I don't know how to kill him yet.

Working on that part for Taco Terror!

Me anytime I have a sweet new idea for a project and then look for room in my calendar to squeeze it in.

Without downloading anything, reskeet or respond with an image that expresses how you're feeling.

Nearing the finish line on the script for my second game, I look back on my first and chuckle.

The second - first-person shooter in 3D environment, over 20 levels = ~10k words

The first - looked like this, short, GB Studio alum = ~10k words

Context makes writing fun.

Nothing like snow in October to remind you that should stop staring at the snow and get back to writing or coding or anything useful really.

Some avocados are just too funky to be ignored...especially when they're shooting you with laser-filled finger guns.

For anyone that's curious, this is what ~6700 words looks like in a radio drama (plus sfx, ambiance etc).

36 minutes = several hours in real time. Time for a break...

For Taco Terror, we wanted to make the characters/bosses as funny as they were delicious.

What do you think of the number one Chaplain of the streets in New TACO City?

One of my current projects is actually an old one - Panoramic was originally a comic book script, hence the awesome art, that I pivoted to a radio drama.

Never let your good ideas die, just let them change.

What's an idea of yours that you had to pivot to bring to life?
