Making good out of something bad. Proceeds from Chantey sales until new years will go to research on childhood life-threatening diseases.

Statement on the Indie Game Awards' latest announcement regarding Chantey

TL;DR
- Chantey's award retracted by IGAs producers over cartridges being produced and sold by ModRetro
- Response to a virtue signaling statement by IGAs Director, filled with falsehoods and inaccuracies

I am both honored and beyond excited to share that Chantey and Gortyn Code just became the first inductee into the
@indiegameawards.gg Indie Vanguard Class of 2025!

A huge 'thank you' to everyone who supported the game along the way! This is fuel in the fire for what's coming next!

Santa came early this year 😍

It still feels absolutely unreal to finally hold the physical release of my game in my own hands 🤯

🐉 One Year of Dragonyhm 🐉

It's hard to believe that Dragonyhm was released into the world a year ago today - and we’re still blown away by the love, feedback, and support it’s received since day one.

Thank you to everyone who's played, shared, streamed, reviewed, and believed in this project…

Fall from Space and its demo have been updated to use the wonderful Camera Plus plugin by @kirbyking186.bsky.social, which has given the game a substantial performance boost over my previous janky solution!

Stories of the old world are still passed down by some Archendi. There are tales of a desert people who wrap their dead, not as preservation, but rather lest the dead wish to ever return. 🧟‍♀️
