Not sure why, but a nervous wizard-mechanic fixing a hovering car in the middle of a busy street is one of the first visions I ever had for The Dissonant. And now it's out there!

Brand new page is out. Super happy with how this new character came out! Also, we're trying a new thing with how we render the environment—I think it works.

Yesterday, we submitted our #GameJam to #GMTK, titled "Fine me a loophole", a narrative-driven puzzle game where you play as a lawyer, helping your local dwarves, goblins, and elves escape their legal problems!

Check it out here!

Gonna share my #GMTK jam game in a couple hours—it's called "Loophole", and it’s about giving legal aid to wizards, goblins, and demons.
I hope you're into narrative-driven games! I had the chance to work with some truly talented folks. Here are some screen shots for now.

Hey!
Should I read 21st Century Boys right away right off the bat, or is reading 20th Century Boys first? Whats the reading order here? What's going on?? It looks awesome.

I had the honor of mentoring at the Tech2Peace Game Jam, where Palestinians and Israelis made games together under the theme "Side by Side".
The results were awesome — from language-learning games to dating sims and more. check it out here:

Yo, it’s #WebcomicDay!
Go read my comic The Dissonant. It's about two siblings rebel against their strict culture to learn forbidden magic! I think it’s pretty good, but I made it. So yo'know.

Here’s the cover for Chapter 1 of The Dissonant! I’ll be printing a few copies soon - DM me if you want one.

It’s been a year since @belletyr.bsky.social and I published our first page. We’ve been planting the seeds of a chaotic story, can’t wait to watch them sprout.

Here are some of the expressions from my recent #LDJam entry, "Poor Julio...". I think it turned out to be the emotional rollercoaster we were aiming for!

Link in comments!

ps:
Do you think that if I'll tag @distraction.engineer, he'll play it?

Took a different approach for this game jam. Inspired by @blacktabbygames.com, we knew from the get-go we were making a narrative game.
If you're into silly stories that bounce between the absurd and the heartfelt, check out "Poor Julio..."

As promised, here’s some gameplay from Tyto!

Designing levels for a Metroidvania where the player can fly around really breaks the traditional constraints of 2D platformers. The game’s creator did an amazing job on the owl’s movement.

Super proud to share that Tyto, a 2D Metroidvania I worked on as level designer, is now on Steam!
Had a blast with the small, passionate team. Wishlist it if you dig owls and exploration! I'll post gameplay footage later today.
