I haven't been active here recently. That's because I just moved back up to WA (Kirkland)! I had really been missing the PNW and all my friends here. I'm hoping to connect with more of the Seattle game dev scene now that I'm back in the area, so Seattle folks reading this feel free to reach out!

I've gotten pretty accustomed to the weird daylist titles but this is a new one.

And even though it's a only at blockout fidelity, yes, you can pet the cat
A screenshot from the game described in the post. The image shows a female player character in blue and brown leather attire standing on a ledge and looking downward at an orange cat laying nearby on the same ledge. A prompt above the cat reads "[E] Pet" . In the background below, tent stalls are visible.

Last month I shared a teaser for a project I've been making with friends. A Message From Scar is now available to play! This third-person adventure features a delivery mission with verticality, dialogue, and environmental storytelling. Check out our GDD and play it here: tinyurl.com/amessagefrom...

I'm a game content designer, prev. Level Designer on Never Alone 2. I love telling stories through play, and I love seeing all the rad people doing this work.

Not at GDC this year, but mentally I'm there waiting in line for boba. Feel free to virtually bump into me & say hi!

Here's a little sneak peak at a project I've been working on with a couple designer friends including @rianbannick.bsky.social. We're building a third-person mission in an original setting. This is some of our playable blockout built in Unreal using the Game Animation Sample. More to come soon!

Some of my irl friends may know I am an Enjoyer of Frog Content. (I somehow ended up making three different games where you play as a frog while in college...) What can I say
A gif of the Doorman from the TV show The Good Place, holding a key with a frog keychain and speaking to a character out of frame. Subtitles read "I just like frogs. I'm a frog guy."

I've become mildly obsessed with this little guy. Ropuka's Idle Island is an idle game that gives you a little frog buddy who cuts grass and sleeps in a customizable habitat you can place anywhere on your desktop. He's been hanging out with me while I work. Fully worth the $4
A screenshot from the game Ropuka's Idle Island, showing a lush green island rendered on top of the desktop and Windows bar. The island has grass, flowers, a tree, a house, and a chair. A little humanoid frog sleeps in the chair.

Today's mood is this screenshot from Kerohiro the Flag Bearer, a charming little mobile game by Lek Chan.
A screenshot from Kerohiro the Flag Bearer, a mobile game with colorful pixel art. A group of humanoid frog characters in fantasy gear stand in front of a background scene with trees and cottage houses. Below the characters, a dialogue panel contains a portrait of Kerohiro, a frog character with a neutral expression. The text in the dialogue panel reads "To be frank, I have lost faith in the establishment."

You know what still cracks me up? The shitty metal band that plays at the Darkmoon Faire in WoW.
