I had something else planned for tonight, and then a #DragonQuest VII: Reimagined demo released and I said "okay, hold up, this is more important." So yeah, I'm streaming the demo tonight, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtu.be/-5L40SzqLk8

I tried the demo for Zitifono by @loekni.bsky.social! Cozy island life meets 3D platformer in this one, and I thought it was fun despite the demo limits! I definitely want to play more of this, and I’m looking forward to future updates! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/ACA9M0LERA0?...

Tonight's #gamedev stream was short and sweet, definitely good for getting back on my feet after taking a month off. This gave me some ideas for how to approach this project next time! 2.5D platformer, let's go! Thanks for watching, and tune in Thursday for #DragonQuest! See ya!
Alright, the 2026 #gamedev grind begins! I lost access to a lot of my old projects, but now’s as good a time as any to start something new and see what I can do, or else fail quickly. Either one is fine by me! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/dGTz0rb...

I worried for nothing! The #Tomba2 port plays and sounds exactly as I remember from my childhood, and I couldn't be happier with the state of this game! Props to Limited Run for fixing it! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for a tier listing stream! See ya!
I was hesitant when I saw #Tomba 2 was getting ported forward by Limited Run, but y'know what? It's still my favorite PS1 game, and the music apparently got fixed, so I'm gonna revel in the nostalgia AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/YLyoEW-...

The Plucky Squire turned out to be great! I really enjoyed playing this game, and I had a lot of laughs, so I can't wait to continue this...whenever I get back to it. Thanks for watching, and tune in Sunday for #Tomba 2! See ya!
I've been wanting to play #ThePluckySquire for a while now, and it finally went on sale last month (pre-Christmas sale), so I grabbed it, and now it's finally time to start a fairy tale of...interesting proportions! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtube.com/live/WwbQ-4z...

Before tonight I hadn't played #ShovelKnight in over nine years, and using a controller is SO MUCH BETTER than the 3DS version I played, I'm dead serious. That was fun, and next time I'll finish the Shovel of Hope campaign! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #ThePluckySquire! See ya!
And for my first stream of 2026, what better way to break in a new year than with a shovel and some platforming? It’s #ShovelKnight! Because “Unearthing 2026” didn’t work with anything else I had in mind, LMAO. Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/hgksFLS...
