RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

I worked on a concept sketch this afternoon for a project I’m working on with a friend.

I’m not the best artist, but hopefully this will work! 😅

One thing I keep forgetting to mention was that the battle system I created for Crystology is basically a spiritual successor to the one I created for "Fortress" – my little HyperCard RPG project I did back in 2023.

I lowered the price of Dawn of Dusk to $6.

I'm not sure if I will resume work on the next game or not, but I plan on leaving Dawn of Dusk up forever, for anyone who wants it.
