Looking good! I need to add a water tile to my collision routine and then a splash animation. Except water will hurt you in my game!
Added some little splash effects and buoyancy. sploosh

Silent Mobius is astonishingly beautiful! Everyone knows Akira but I never see anyone talking about this movie. The colors, the background design… all obviously inspired by the art of Syd Mead… and absolutely breathtaking.

These are pure gold
I had to remind myself of the made-up american names some japanese developers created for Fighting Baseball, and felt like you needed a reminder of this comedy gold too.

Is it #portfolioday ?

I’m a sculptor and engineer for toys. I sometimes design as well. I got laid off because of the tariffs :(

Here’s a few things I made. I’m looking for full time work if you have any leads!

It's World Mental Health Day! 💜💆🏻♀️

Just like in our favorite #games, our own health bar needs attention. Grinding 24/7 can leave you with low HP. Don't forget to pause and restore your health.

We now have a trailer!

The Bagman is a 16-bit #pixelart retro #horror game. A stealth point and click. Imagine if Day of the Tentacle met Alien Isolation, but with an 80s/90s slasher vibe and gratuitous gore.

What a great wave! The last one I worked on before the massive layoffs at S7. Big Lob was my contribution as well as all the original engineering for the base model of the starter buck.

They got rid of the tariff fee but raised the price 😢

Don’t forget to check out the new game footage. Making lots of great progress recently. A perk of basically being unemployed. Thanks, tariffs 😭

Extremely happy with my haul from Retroworld Expo yesterday. I’ve been searching for High Seas Havoc in the wild for over two years!

Super great price on the Moonwalker.

Can’t wait to play some Gilgamech with the 6 button arcade stick!
