hello bsky: I'm Stanley, indie dev creating text-heavy narrative experiences that are satirical, horrifying, or queer, and sometimes all at once. I make games for exactly 3 people to lose their minds. #gamedev #visualnovel #interactivefiction

this weekend i slipped and fell hard on my elbow to the point i couldn't bend it properly. you might have sympathy thinking this happened because of the weather but no this happened entirely indoors in my kitchen because i stood on a piece of cardboard

still incredibly wild to me that the project i did as a "i'll throw this out to see if anyone gives a shit" got such an overwhelmingly positive response from literally everyone who touched it. need to do more stuff with that world there's so many notes

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

i think whats really got me about this one specifically is how its a microcosm of the whole thing. games are too creative for tech industries and are too tech for creative industries. i think i'll just stick to game hive and cultplex

going to "creative industries" events is really cool because it's either the most corporate thing you've seen in your entire life or you turn up and the venue's closed and no one got an email about it
