This is inspired by the essay by @pawsmenu.info that details what a software film is.

"A Software Film is any motion picture that is generated from an .exe during its theatrical, or otherwise, broadcast presentation."

Would you support a patreon? It would include regular updates, thoughts, design notes, exclusive games, first access, prototypes, and credits. But also we are scared of the damage money does to creativity and the pressure to deliver.

Next week I release The Light Of Our Yearning. I've seen a few people play it on stream after finding it on the @hauntedps1.bsky.social demo disk as the hidden game. But I have yet to see someone discover the full experience. Sivani, my partner and collaborator, did some excellent writing on this.

"ocean::ephemera . . . is a surrealist sea of sound. It captures that feeling of awe when you look at something you canโ€™t quite make out, but itโ€™s all so grand. The movement of waves, coupled with sound that fills up a vast unknowable space, enveloping you as you journey throughโ€ฆ something."
hereโ€™s a small curation of games that exist outside the urge to be understood.
โ€œDigital art: I want to be confused. I donโ€™t want to understand. I want to see something for the first time again. Rarely a game does that, and when it does itโ€™s a precious thing.โ€
