Not all ambient music needs to be pretty. The Solar 42 F is a great teacher in that regard. That said, sometimes you need a little utopia.

I've created a collection of performances you can download and use for free in whatever media you like.

The world has been grinding me down into a pulp and I haven't been promoting The Vow as much as I should be. If you liked it, it would mean the world to me if you made your own post about it! Word of mouth is the only way it gets discovered because of its NSFW content and everything helps 💙
Two people, used only as weapons, are forced together by the shackles of duty to fight a divine foe. Mutual loathing and repressed desires collide, hot and bleeding.

The Vow is a 300 page dark fantasy graphic novel, with art by @feralroyal.bsky.social and words by me. 18+ only.

Interview: Sektori's sole dev on Housemarque past, tuning Unity to 60fps

When I started writing novel 2, I had no idea what the back half of the book would be.

I eventually figured it out, but just as quickly changed it to something else. Then as I began to write it, I changed it to a third thing entirely. Now I'm almost done writing that.

I love doing this.

The amount of damage done to art and media literacy the last 20 years with the Abrams Mystery Box TM and "Lore" prioritized over theme and character (in a capitalistic shared universe sense for story as "content") is crippling.

All I can do is put stories out into the world that stand for something
Viewers/readers/players anticipating your plot twists in advance is GOOD ACTUALLY.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB WHY WOULD YOU RUIN IT. YOUR JOB ISN'T TO OUTSMART YOUR AUDIENCE. UNGUESSABLE PLOT TWISTS ARE BAD TWISTS.
