Finally got to show off this project at Tidal Waves last weekend.
Turns out if you can't get an Astro City, you can just print your own. Much assembly required, though.

I made some fresh gothic ambiant tracks for a local PICO-8 game (I live in Ottawa, Canada), Chapel Perilous. I converted the tracks into chiptune sounds to bring them to my YouTube channel. Have a listen! :)

Last night, I finished composing the final track of "Stellar Saga", an album that I'm producing with video game composer and collaborator @hydr0gene.bsky.social. It's a throwback to the Sega Genesis, its JRPGs and their soundtracks. Thanks to @smithygames.bsky.social for the gorgeous album cover!

Any need by #UnrealEngine users for an analog controller plugin?
It converts player input into 360 degree values, normalized values, and square coordinates.
It also gives designers a quick way to change deadzones.
If there's interest I can go thru the effort to make it available (free)

I've been noodling away at a turn-based tower defense deckbuilder prototype. Each battle, you play cards to build your tower or directly attack the battlefield. Then there's a round of auto-battling as your tower goes to work and the enemies take their actions.

In my game, you play as a 🐦birb. You've got a wacky beak that can be used like a springboard to launch around levels.
Not persuaded yet? There's also an 🐘elephant with a wacky trunk that can grab things.
Still not convinced? How about 75% off?
