Trying to be focused, and better with my time in order to do all the things I want to do and finish the things I want to finish. But also: coffee

Time for a fresh start.

Hi! I'm an NES homebrew game developer. I also make chiptunes in FamiTracker.

I'm currently working on a "Mario Paint" inspired paint program for the NES, which supports the SNES mouse and NES Zapper! cuttercross.itch.io/crosspaint

Hi Bluesky, meet my game.

Courier is a cyberpunk adventure game originally designed for the NES. Upgrade your gear by taking on jobs from seedy employers and hack your way through the world to get all the info you need to take on the evil Ankh Industries and save the city.

So is now the time? Is everyone just switching to Bluesky now because Twitter has finally gone too far?

Ever look at the stuff you buy for collecting and think “maybe I have a problem”?

Deadeye here, I mostly talk about homebrew videogames and their development. I have a video and podcast series where I talk about homebrews with their developers, YouTube channel with long plays.

Yearly I'll help put out an NES Homebrew Calendar and run player competitions.

Okay, I’m here. Another twitter replacement. Maybe this is the one? It’s almost certainly not threads
