A super short piece inspired by the work of Mokutsuno. This is their image below. You can find them on Twitter and IG. I love the broken melancholy the rust covered machine gives me. Time marches on.

Halloween is over, but the spirit can live on!

Stumpkin is a cute and strange little book about a pumpkin without a stem.

I got to combine a lot of my favorite Halloween staples in this Novel Effect soundscape.

Any guesses at what those inspirations are?

These are a couple of my favorite themes that I wrote for Love Z; a read aloud soundscape for Novel Effect.

Z is a little robot who sets out in an adventure to learn what love is.

This is a a sailing theme for when Z sets off and I wanted to write it in 5/8

This is just me saying, I don’t currently have the time, but I’m craving another run on Dwarf Fortress! My game always crashes out and I stop receiving migrants. But damn. Love it.

There are things that push political parties over the edge. For Democrats, it’s watching an American president blithely overturn an 80 year-old doctrine of defending democracies against authoritarian regimes. For Republicans, it was when a black man suggested we have access to affordable healthcare.

No one asked BUT.
Here’s the sauce for her theme. I think I have a video somewhere of the first time played it.

Rereading The Hobbit as an adult casts Gandalf in a new light: an immortal who's lost touch with mortal timescales. Whenever he needs a hobbit for some adventure, he pops by the Shire to recruit that one hobbit he knows. If that guy's too old or dead, Gandalf harasses their next of kin instead

Just watched
“The Vast of Night”

I haven’t enjoyed an alien film this much….. ever?

Across the board loved it.
Acting, score, set, cinematography, story
10/10

It somehow reminded me of Hellier.

I recently got into a debate about whether or not BlueSky is viable for marketing an Indie game.

So here, lets see how many wishlists we get from this post.
(Yes there is a non-VR mode for steam)
