Hi! I'm Owen, and I've been a game developer for 20+ years. I'm half of Milkbag Games, an indie studio in Ontario, Canada. We made Disco Zoo, FutureGrind, Sidewords, and more.
I mostly post about game dev, or games-adjacent stuff, but I'm also a hobbyist potter, so sometimes I post about that too!

basically all of these films were major points of obsession for me in college, and now you can watch them all just on youtube. amazing. in particular Mirror basically changed my entire relationship with film after i took a Russian cinema class on a whim and it made me change to a film major.

I sit down on the couch wondering where the cat is, as a paw emerges silently from beneath the furniture and takes aim at my foot.

Remembering that one Halloween in my 20s where I went to a friend’s party dressed up like an 18th century adventurer and tied little plastic toy soldiers all over my body with string, and then spent the whole party having to explain what Gulliver’s Travels was.

Thinking about how in the original Super Mario Bros game the sound of Mario collecting that first mushroom became part of the 1-1 music in my mind. I played it so much, and the growing sfx always played at the exact same time in the music, that I can't separate the two.

This looks like something that would cause all manner of shenanigans on Deep Space Nine
I’ve been working on this side project for several months now. It’s a hand-made ceramic video game? It’s still a WIP, but I got everything wired up for the first time last night so I could test controlling all the lights individually. Exciting step! Now I “just” have to make it interactive. 😅

Some more astrophotography! I captured 885 x 30s exposures of The Pleiades - M45 (about 7.4hrs integration) with my Seestar S30, and processed the data in Siril, Graxpert, and Photoshop. This is an open star cluster and reflection nebula about 444 light years from Earth.
