I'm attending the DAM and Museums 2026 / Digital Preservation Summit by Henry Stewart Events on February 5th. They just released the agenda and I see a networking session at 10:30am ET. Who else is going? Want to meet up virtually?

Today's progress is this angry snake. I love the idea of rewarding players for doing the weird choice and poking around. Maybe you'll find a treat or an angry snake. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

Experimenting with colors in character designs. Also, their perception was high so they saw a door there. #2d #art #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd

My irl cat's obsession with me inspired my short rest mechanic. You regain some spell slots/health/barbarian charges if you take a cat nap. Sometimes this mystery bodega cat also brings you items. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

I'm starting to come up with one time use only items like Duck Tape (a duck taped to a VHS). He's gonna try to convince you to untape him for a reward, but you gotta give up something really valuable. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

I read the entire DnD rulebook and while it percolates, I made these new NPCs and fixed some more background sizes.

New UI WIP. I have to expand my backgrounds to fit the bigger window. #2d #art #indiegame #gamedev #godot #dnd

Busy with work, but still finding time to doodle/practice. I made these doodles into emojis. They're like all my moods this holiday seasons.

Can’t afford therapy? We’re releasing Drywall Eating Simulator on Dec 10th, so get ready for a tasty distraction from the stresses of life.

I started thinking through the game menus and realized the basic interface needed a remix for turn-based combat. WIP layout progress! #2d #indiedev #indiegame #dnd #art

Working on faces and backgrounds without much to share right now. I had this thought to make more weird items to find in the grocery store so working on that too. #2d #art #indiegame #gamedev #dnd #cartoon

Making shelf space to pick up items and encounter NPCs to battle. #2d #indiegame #gamedev #art #dnd

The baby is in the vent! Working on new locations and tweaking the UI. I also want to redo Janice's faces to be more cartoony and dramatic. #2d #indiegame #indiedev #dnd #art

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Colored in some veggies and characters. I had the most random idea to let Janice also battle the actual groceries she's picking up, not just shoppers.

Bad Breath Gary comes up to you at the grocery store. What do you do? (A) Talk real close (B) Stare (C) Swat the flies (D) Ask where he got his coat

I won an award for my research on archival personas & the history of emotional labor among archivists! It's from a prominent professional organization for historians/archivists. Also, I'm really loving just doodling weird creatures to promote my stuff. Good art practice! #2dart #research #MARAC
