I'm experimenting with the idea of adding the option to make this a shared experience.

Project TORI will be delayed significantly while I learn Blender extensively so I can create original assets. Would love to hire a 3D artists, but there's just not much funding in games to make that happen. Grateful for what I have been given to make a prototype. Next step is learning a new skill.

Soft announcement. My next ::ephemera game will be highway::ephemera where you will traverse a vast network of roads. Will feature original atmospheric soundscape by Greg Nunn (Glacial Anatomy) who provided music for ocean::ephemera

This is one of my favorite shots from my game The Light Of Our Yearning. I delayed it 1 month to make this happen. Basically, after you complete the game, time still continues. Bones start to decay. Nature reclaims the land. There is no end. If you completed it a while ago, try opening it again...

The main focus is building out a budget for writing about the games and contributors in the zine.
Other people (pizzapranks.com/10-indiepoca...) and I (pizzapranks.com/features/) have done this in the past, but cons have taken the I would use for this and would like it to be a consistent thing.

There's currently a subscription drive for Indiepocalypse if a monthly curated 10 game collection of indie games (plus a ~5 year back library) from a *wide* range of devs sounds like something you'd be into.

I'll be at TGS today helping out with Off-Score: A game of songs. It's a surreal music game with carefully crafted interactive music set in magical worlds. The music is soo good.

My friend gave a presentation at Tokyo Indies about his game Doom Spiral which is inspired by gnarly skeleton memes. I met him at Tokyo Indies over a year ago and we've been good friends since. He'll be at @gaemz.bsky.social meetup Tokyo on the 29th to talk about his magical shader skills.

I'll be at Tokyo Game Show and hosting Tokyo GÆMZ Show on the 29th. Still looking for 3 speakers. So far there will be a talk about cool shaders from the in development game Doom Spiral, and a talk about the creation and development of plunderludics / unityhawk

I originally planned on making large open areas, but frustrations with the Unity terrain system made me down scope it for what I think is the better. I now prefer horse sequences to be short linear vignettes, similar to the game Promesa which I found inspiring.

Woah, saw this beautifully animated game during the @gdocexpo.com direct called A Heavy Morning. Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is how I start my mornings. What will the tone of the day feel like? That first action you take can ruin or energize a whole day.

Some notes on this. Most games featuring indigenous people are full of stereotypes. I could only find 12 good examples that fit. Many are made by Dr. Elizabeth LaPensée an award-winning Irish, Anishinaabe, and Métis game creator. Please check out these important games.

Been reading @jordanmagnuson.bsky.social book Game Poems and it's really helping me find the language to describe the game I'm making. TO:RI (tentative title) is essentially a collection of visual poems that use the language of games to redefine and expand the constraints of the medium.

Congrats to @roguesite.bsky.social for the launch of their website. Rogue is worker-owned and independent games media that is human-first. We've added the website to our Game Worker Cooperatives collection. If you know of more games media or studios that are taking this approach, let us know!

An environment test. Turns out a light flickering bug I was spending all night trying to fix was just a Unity editor bug. Doesn't exist in the build. Reminder to do continuous build testing.

I'm considering using unconventional camera angles for the horse controller. It could work. (warning for horse fans, wonky animation asset is for testing purposes)

Was playing this ps2 game called Urban Chaos. There are fire fighters that never put out fires. Reminds me of Hardly Working by Total Refusal. NPCs that do a simulacra of work, trapped in an endless loop of non-productive behavior.

This weekend I went to an isolated beach and stared at the ocean for the whole day. I came home and worked on this scene more. The game is becoming more like a place of digital rest for me. It's very peaceful. This is something I'm making for myself first, but I hope others will be able to enjoy it.
