Yes, the sweat is the essential ingredient to make it all stick together.

My friend and I had been working on a treatment for a film called "Dust Man", which was more or less this. I guess I'm just fascinated by how dust is simultaneously nothing but also something deeply disturbing on many levels.

I need to see the horror film based on this premise.

Sometimes I feel this way about everything. Like how is anyone good at anything?

I feel this. Lately I've been using an old pen to chew on and stick up my nose while I'm thinking. My desk is actually a disaster.

These are so great! Noby Noby is definitely a game to celebrate like this.

I quote this line way more than anyone else probably realizes.

Good luck! This is always the worst part, but you're almost there!

I saw them by myself years ago with the Black and White album. Definitely memorable. So much spitting on the stage from one of them that they had a designated towel guy to wipe up at regular intervals. Also locked eyes with Pelle at one point while I was standing in the very front. Intense!

Oh wow congrats, I never did that one. I can imagine how it felt. Just thinking about it now I need to be careful that I don't get sucked back in again.

Maybe what burned me out most was having some incredible runs and then going back to really underwhelming runs - made me question my time.

I was working on the challenges at the end, but I think there was something that spooked me as too much of a commitment so I moved on that that point. Thankful that these types of games always have a bit of an 'end goal' even if they can be played forever.

If casinos were like Balatro I might actually consider going to one. That game was definitely an obsession of mine for at least a month of so, but thankfully it's behind me again after unlocking most of the jokers.

If I ever finish my latest passion project then it's absolutely going to have VO even if it's just me and my friends.

Thanks! It's basically a musical sandbox. You can jam live or record/edit parts or any combination of that. Imagine something like Tiny Glade but for music.

Also the trailer music was all made using the game itself! We'll be sharing more videos soon to demo the gameplay :)

Wow, you've been cool for such a long time!

I love the vibe of the game audio overall. Feels good and retro from my fondest N64 days. Props to those responsible.

This kind of rotation stuff is always the worst part of development (until I get to porting to console). Good luck!

Cool! Are you making the tapes yourself? What's your process?
July 11, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Really nice! Could have listened for 30 minutes easy.

For sure. Being zero-budget indie for so long I just have no sense of how much it costs to make games on the next level up. If I suddenly had a budget I'd probably have no idea how to manage it.

As someone who made about 10k last year I'm always floored by what affordable means in the creative industry. But maybe I just need to get a 'proper' job.
