Creator of GHOST at DAWN & DATE WITH the NIGHT
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.

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.

But I figured it out.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was a good movie.
Did you know Ben O’Hara (real name: Ohara Benjiro) is named after Tanjiro from Demon Slayer?
Well, now you do.

Dude. I know. All my babies are going at the same time. It’s just down to Jeff now, and thankfully he’s still in his prime.

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.

Bri Bri, I read that whole page. It’s about minimum salary level and links to labor law violations. It does not show that laborers get paid salaries.
A salary is different than a wage. I’ve never heard of a labor job that gets paid a fixed salary. Have you? Can you name a single one? Still waiting.

I used to do canvas art, wall murals, stenciling, stripes, custom wall finishes, business logos, vinyl decals, t shirt design/printing, etc.
Basically any form of physical art I would do for both residential and commercial business. Proof:

Looks good! I just had to create my own Unity shaders for a toon look that gets lighting data from additional lights. Holy shit, was that a headache to figure out.
If you’re going to add outlines to everything, I would do a full screen shader instead of having each material produce an outline.

Shout out to all my homies who had a piece of shit dad like me. My old man was an abusive drunk who regularly beat my mother, my brother, and me. So, if you ever wondered how I created such a realistic abuser villain in Vance Fitzgerald, now you know.

Still loving this new Anime shader I made for the console ports. A little bit different look than the current PC release, but definitely more comic-booky. Probably gonna update the PC version with it too. What do you think?

My game dev journey started during lockdown with a cheap refurbished laptop that I worked on my couch while dealing with long covid. Now I have multiple monitors, devkits, an office, and much more energy. Can’t for the GaD chapter to close when the console ports drop, so the DWtN chapter can begin!
