it's been ages since i've played a game that delighted me so much!

it's a 15-minute deal, with so many little details in the world, lovely art and music, and being able to see other people in it is so cool. games can be so cool...

finally went through my itch catalogue and sorted games into collections so my profile is easier to navigate!

there's... a lot there... so i've also included some suggested starter games at the top. i'm really happy with how it's all looking now!

currently stuck at "gathering screenshots and writing a case study thing" so i feel you on the backlog!

GH pages has some storage limits, which i might run into if i wanna host a backup of my various games/music/etc on it. i'm considering moving to a EU/green host

doodling board game tiles... just vibing for now, will see what kind of gameplay thoughts emerge as I make more of these!

i loved 1000xRESIST because it was confident in its delivery and wasn't obsessed with making me "forget i was playing a game". it makes so much sense that the devs are from a performance background!

it's funny how export and post dialogs can trigger either rumination or good ideas.

this was the initial version i was gonna post, but I realised it was bothering me that the tree/pin symbolism wasn't clearer. I like that there's more colour and diagonals in the final one!

graphic design warmup: a flyer for park trails!

wanted to try out the National Park Typeface (nationalparktypeface.com), and use an icon that is both a tree and a map pin.

swansong: telling some deep story about what it means to be human
me: estrella dill-flavoured chips my beloved?? out in the wild??

became a new member of the playdate community thanks to a birthday gift from my partner! ☺️

it's such a delightful little thing. i'm so looking forward to trying all of the games over winter break!

oh that's cool. reminds me of how people in european environments (e.g. in Brussels) end up developing their own lingo.

my mom says "remoot" for remote, because that's what everyone else at her job says!

though the real learning point here is "gonk" for sleep. feeling gonky this saturday morning

my steam treats! really excited tbh. V:TM is a universe i'm really keen to explore, but haven't really known where to start. swansong looks right up my alley!

meanwhile, *everyone* has been raving about disco elysium since it came out. maybe... it's time...

a what now?

ohh this is a good example of tuning in UX.

this is info for my second flight. naturally my eye went to "terminal M"-- but that's indicating where i will arrive! the departing gate is not yet known.

indicating a simple "not avail yet" in the equivalent location on the left would have helped tons!
