YO! I'm open to taking on some client work now and into the new year. If you need a guy who can do a bunch of stuff pretty well, I'm here for you! Podcast editing, video editing (incl. motion gfx), advertisements, game capture, etc.

You can tell #Pluribus is sci-fi, because any normal person would have asked them to shorten that voicemail message ages ago. Everything else checks out. 😁

HELP!!

Does anyone have a connection at YouTube that can help me?

Today, my small channel was demonetized and my payment account terminated. Due to the size/activity of my channel I cannot imagine this was not a mistake.

Stressed & desperate. 💙

I can’t find any screenshots or videos that show more than the intro and the first level of Flashback on Acorn Archimedes. It’s the only version that seems to have been visually downgraded, and I’m curious to see what kind of optimization was done across all the levels.

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰
