I'm Hunter.
I'm the Director of DreadXP, we specialize in publishing things that are both horror and games, sadly no term for this has been invented yet. One day maybe.
I'm also still an active game dev, as narrative on an unannounced title.

I'm still alive y'all, I just have been busy with a never ending cycle of running Dread and needing to paint miniatures in time for games.
I just came by to say every single game we're publishing are so goddamned good it's insane. I'm excited to be able to announce them all eventually.

If you got stuck in a GIG call with me in 2020 I probably mentioned how gnarly sleep apnea was, this kind of thing is why.
If you're always tired and especially if you snore while sleeping, please consider getting a sleep test.

Don’t fuck around with sleep apnea. I ignored mine for too long, had a stroke, and am now in a rehab word trying to learn how to rewire my brain to walk and use my left hand again.

Alright time to put my sealed DVD copies of the Director's Cut of Highlander where my mouth is.
I will send this DVD at my own expense to anyone who comments that they promise to watch it. I'll pick a winner randomly out of the comments tomorrow.
I have more copies, but there can be... only one.

@ozone.birb.house I can't remember what if anything I applied as in the past, but I'm both a game dev and the co-director of the indie horror publisher DreadXP. I still very much dev, so I'd love to have both labels.

I've never intentionally built a personal brand. I've just never hesitated to loudly love the things I love, and that's led to a lot of people saying I'm often "on brand". Genuinely loving things is all you need.
If you think you have to "build a brand" you're chasing a bad demon. Be a person. If you have creative stuff to share, then share it. But be a person first. And second. That inauthentic "brand" bullshit is obvious, painful, and will always backfire. Just be you. You little gremlin.
