I spent all day parallax views of a city (the city wasn't made by me).
I want to learn to make art for art's sake. I've had a lifelong obsession with parallax, so I followed my heart.
This is the most creatively fulfilling thing I've done in years and I doubt if anyone cares but me. I'm so happy.

Hey, look, I was curious. I'd finished the game twice already, I figured it couldn't hurt, I realised my mistake pretty quickly. It was just a phase.
Video game factoid: Did you know that if a game gives the player choice between a male and female character, some people will actually choose the male one? Believe it or not, it's true - though reports indicate this is generally by accident

hey, artist friends. go watch @leadhead.bsky.social's latest video.
friends who wish they were artists, go watch it too. it's perhaps more important and pertinent to you than anyone else. watch it, and then go out and make art. it's a revolutionary act.

You know how you've never heard of a crazy cat man, only a crazy cat lady?
Yeah, that's because if you live alone, after cat 3 your body just Does That.

As a kid playing catch with my Dad, he accidentally hit me in the face with a baseball. When I started to cry, he told me "Boys don't cry." He always made good arguments, so I figured that since I couldn't stop crying, that meant I wasn't a boy.

Yet again I have realised someone on platform A is not the same person I know quite well from platform B and C.
They have the same initials and similar coloured profile pics.
I was wondering why their posts on bsky had such a different vibe...
Is this a neurodiversity thing or am I just an idiot?

You know what, time to give out a little something for the winter holidays.
Post about a cool indie game you are looking forward to play (or played) and give this a repost to share onto more folks.
In return I'll pick a buncha folk who do for some copies of Mars Vice.
Happy winter folks!

I really need to get into VR I'm like 90% sure my brain is wired to make this kind of thing happen and... wow...

In my life I’ve always been predisposed toward forgiving a fuck up and I extend that to game dev too.
Arriving to that conclusion about AI on your own and doing the work to undo it, that takes some integrity I think. I can’t in good faith judge that harshly.

Curious what your stance is on companies that used it and then realized it was a mistake (not from backlash) after the fact and removed it. Im personally a proponent of supporting people that are willing to reevaluate and change. Several small indie projects I've enjoyed had this kind of trajectory.
