I plan to dedicate the next decade of my life to making HORROR BUSINESS, a series of yearly Survival Horror/Detective Noir games chronicling the terrifying cases that Ben O'Hara, P.I. takes on throughout the 1940-50s.
For the first time ever, I'm going to publicly share the complete roadmap below.

Real talk: do the people complaining about game prices think the only games that matter are brand new AAA games?
Honestly, gaming has never been cheaper, in my experience. You can get new indie or older AAA bangers for a few bucks or sometimes free.

I’m SOOO close to finishing up Xbox and PlayStation versions of GHOST at DAWN. I’ll be announcing the release date very soon, and then I will be VERY ANNOYING posting about it.
You have been warned.
P.S. Being a solo dev/publisher/PR agent/porting studio is A LOT for one chronically ill dude.

People worry that AI will make them stupid, but it’s the total opposite. You’ll spend so much time fact-checking, correcting, and learning how much it lies that your critical thinking skills will be OFF THE CHARTS.

Yes! More of my fellow Illinoisans telling it like it is. Fuck this fascist regime. Let’s get our heads back on straight. Nazis are bad. This shouldn’t be controversial.

I made a throwback NES cover for GHOST at DAWN. Pretty proud of it. Maybe I should put it on shirts for sale… 🤔

I’ve been painting our pups for my wife for holidays/birthdays, but this is the first one I did of one who already passed. We put Winnie down a year or two ago. It was hard to paint this. I teared up quite a bit

Ever notice every anime-inspired game only has the characters look anime, while the environments look like any other game with realistic lighting? (See left)
Turns out it’s hard af to blend solid black shadows from multiple light sources.

Fun Demon Slayer fact for all non-Japanese speakers: “infinity” is “mugen” in Japanese, so the direct translation for Mugen Train is Infinity Train.
Interesting why they didn’t go with Infinity Train for the last film or with Mugen Castle for this one.

I haven’t been posting updates much lately because I’ve been busy providing hospice care for my girl, Anna. We made the difficult decision to put her down on Thursday. She was my baby. I feel like my heart has been ripped out. She was the best.

I’m conflicted about Hogan’s passing. When I was a kid in the 80s & 90s, he was my favorite wrestler because his stage persona was a good person who stood up for others.
Obviously, his real life personality turned out to be quite the opposite. I wish he was the person I thought he was.

Fuck yeah. Put down the phone and doodle! It’s good for your noggin!
Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."
