Welcome to the first Mondev! Mondev is short for Monday Development, where, each week, I’ll post about something that I’m working on or thinking about in the world of game and software development. Some of these items may be devlog-style posts (I have ideas!), while others may be full tutorials.

I started a new series on LinkedIn about games, culture, and my take on it all. I’m going to try to put something out every Wednesday. If you’re interested and on LinkedIn, I’d love for you to interact!

About four months ago, I completed a short-form "game poem" about relationships, reconciliation, hesitation, and bravery. I made it as an entry for the first issue of a new online magazine called Game Poems (out in October).

I’m a musician, so #AI tools like Suno.ai are both infuriating and fascinating. I’ve created many songs now and it’s pretty fun to witness the variety of results (my kids and I even created an entire album of songs that includes a folk song using #Yoda’s witticisms and it’s fabulous).
