back in the days (2022 to be precise) I created a big thread of all the games I worked on.

Let's do that again here! 🔥

There will be student projects, game jams, personal projects and freelance missions

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.

It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

I took some time to make a 2025 #artsummary

What a year. So many (too many) projects, but I had a lot of fun ✨
I'm happy I could make many animations and that I could try different styles and techniques

AND I was able to make traditional art and that's something I missed A LOT
