Iron Lung was decent 👍 kinda wish the FNAF movie was paced like this (more focus on dramatising the gameplay over the hidden lore).

One of the reasons AI humour is so cringe is that it gives off the same energy as your friend doing the whole "I had a crazy dream last night" shtick.

Clocking off work/social media for the remainder of 2025.

Thank you to friends & family for being awesome.

Exciting #gamedev announcements coming in January. Stay tuned.🫡

Past few weeks I've began actively trying to combat slop social media feeds. I've noticed:

-Following tab is way more peaceful than For You
-Instagram is purely Ads these days
-Youtube algo is screwed
-Most news is news not worth knowing
-Anger is the driving force of engagement

Had a Fire Emblem itch so attempted Awakening on lunatic and I couldn't even get passed Chapter 1. 😭

Wdym the "ruffians" have two mages with Elwind and Elthunder and every axe fella two shots Chrom.

Would like to go on record and confess I have spent my entire Saturday playing CloverPit and watching NorthernLion play CloverPit. 🎰👹

Good game design is being able to beat a game you can't read. ☝️

I really cannot stress how much harder it is to make a dirty environment than a clean environment in game development... 💀#gamedev #aseprite

It's been roughly 1 year since I started my new gym routine + diet change. Still a way to go but nice to see some physical change. 🏋️ #gymprogress

Hit a big milestone today. Finishing not one but TWO major gameplay mechanics. I would love to show them off but that would be spoilers for the trailer of course. 🤫

Haven't updated in a while. Currently very busy working hard on the trailer / demo. (and dealing with my full time job.)

In the mean time here's some cars I drew. 🚗🚗

One thing I wish Mario Kart would do is what Crash Nitro Fueled did in regards to stats.

Make the character + kart purely cosmetic, then the player picks whatever optimal "engine". Every race being filled with 20 baby bloopers is dull.

Started tinkering with a few synths to make menu SFX and I'm convinced Sound people are wizards.

"Yeah just set the wibbly wobbly line and turn up the skidoodle modulator with a dash of reverb and boom its the cancel sound from Silent Hill 2"

I'm heading to Japan today for a few weeks. 🇯🇵✈️

Won't be any #gamedev updates for a bit. In the meantime time here is a snippet of my game's first dungeon. #pixelart #aseprite #monogame
