Created an updated gameplay reel for a private talk I'm giving on Wednesday.
This has been a fun side obsession for me. Cataloging and organizing niche games feels like treasure hunting. This whole process has made me really appreciate the work of curation. This year hoping for some collaborations with writers, artists, devs, researches, and curators.

Helped my friend today with some bug testing and feedback on his [STATIC NOISES] shooter. It's got great visual and sound design inspired by other intense shooters like Hyper Demon.

I watched Twilight for the first time today. Strange movie. Don't know how to describe the experience, but here's a screenshot I took of one scene that explains how I feel.

This was one of my favourite games of the year. Highly recommend you check it out if you love games like Halo:CE and Half Life 2. Incredible level design and world building. It's also very short which is a big plus for me personally. Happy to see that this game is getting lots of praise.

I played this game which I view of as an FMV typing game
amptomp.itch.io/how-to-walk-...
I want more stuff like this. The only other example I know of is Maps of the Known World by @joeyschutz.bsky.social which is also great.
I like the concept of mixing typing with film. Inspired to make my own.

After a lot of fine tuning, I got dynamic water interaction simulation working for a scene. The low camera angle adds a lot.

Went to elementary school, junior high, and highschool music club performance showcase in my local area. There was one performance that was a mix of krumping and bollywood dance with these Dune looking costumes. Couldn't help but jump out of my seat and cheer loudly at the end. So talented.

If you have any favorite indie games, especially if they're on the more obscure/niche side of things, do consider leaving some kind comments. It can be really hard to stay motivated these days, and a little bit of kindness really does go a long way.

What would it take to intentionally make a game that is 2TB (or more) in size? Like the size being a commentary on bloated game development. Do game engines allow an export of that size? Do digital marketplaces let you host something that large?

This game is perfect. Does exactly what it says it does. No endless list of features. No tiring gameplay loops. Just you flying around as a bird.

a game being recognized for its artistic merit, and celebrated as art, does not protect it from storefront censorship. we should stop fooling ourselves into thinking that storefronts view games as art. games are products & services to them. as long as monopolies exist we’re held back as an artform.
