Gamedev is HARD. But I love it. Every bit of it. It's like balancing on a rope and you have 20 completely independent limbs, each steeing differently. Pure joy ❤️ (I mean it) Thoughts? (Demo 2nd of Dec.!!)

I'm one of the few non-binary voice actors who has vocally transitioned while recording.

Here's an example of a role I worked before and during puberty: Enkidu from the FATE series.

I've also authored trans-centric speech therapy curriculum alongside trans Speech Language Pathologists.

Rewatching Outlaw Star and theyre on a fighting ring episode and all Ctarl-Ctarl (brown catbeast-transforming race) are banned from entering because of a... Mike Tyson-like incident.

Hoo boy lmfao

Got my 2nd boss pattern done (it functions) yesterday and I'm pretty proud of the idea. Three more attacks and it'll be time to draw sprites for my first boss, and brother's OC, Linir.

*Very* excited to talk about the themes and influences I put into him.

Delicately questioning the person who "only listens to video game music" to figure out whether they're a prog rock fan who doesn't know it or an instrumental jazz fan who doesn't know it.

the thing with art/gamedev/other creative endeavors is that you don't have to do it as a job, my dad and his other middle aged buddies used to play soccer and none of them harbor any fantasy of being athletes, you can just play a little soccer or make a little gamejam project it's good for the soul

Todays video is LIVE and lets talk about a lot of Dormant classic fighting game franchises.
For many of them... is it about time they came back?

Kids are priced out of toys, they are priced out of video games, all they get are games like Roblox and Fortnite designed from the ground up to exploit them.
it's another case of kids being written out of the equation because adults are a bigger and more stable form of income, who cares that the people buying kirby air riders for 100 dollars now could get the original for 15, that's unrelated to MONEY NOW

I've gotten my bullet manager working, enemy manager working, modular enemy, bullet, and pattern implementation -- I think my bullet engine is mostly functional.

I'm *STILL* scripting my first boss, but I had to ensure my enemy manager was up and running before I had patterns that spawned enemies.

I won't claim to be the best artist, but I figured I should post *something*. Haven't drawn in a bit since I've mostly been programming, but --

Here's my most recent sketch of my protagonist, Aster Belvedere.
