this is still one of the best games ever made, a must play imo
How could we have forgotten Flywrench's birthday?? 10 years ago we launched this crazy space platformer on Steam and PS4. You can try the demo yourself and see what the "Very Positive" reviews are talking about store.steampowered.com/app/337350/F...

Holedown is one of my favourite games! You should absolutely take grapefrukt up on this, or if you are able to, just buy it outright instead. It’s absolutely worth it!
i have a bunch of promo codes for holedown on android that are about to expire. no sense in sitting on those! tell me why you need one and i'll hook you up.

I’m later than I should have been to Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, but @simogo.com have created something magical again.
It gives me everything I loved from Device 6, which I still hold to be one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played.

Happy #Blocktober! Here's an early whitebox from the Frosted Fjord level of Minecraft Dungeons versus the finished product.
I am *very* grateful to the talented people that turned this crude mash of blocks into a real moody place!

Got a good reminder of how fun it can be to play video games together in person today. Counter-Strike with friends at a gaming venue! Felt more or less the same as it would have in 2001.

Mattias and Josh wrote a lovely soundtrack for us, and I am still very proud of what we achieved with this game. Go given the music a listen!
13 years later, the soundtrack I and Josh Whelchel wrote for Caller's Bane (AKA Scrolls) is now on streaming services courtesy of Mojang: open.spotify.com/album/7GPwXO...
Still real proud of this music, so glad more people can enjoy it now. 🥰

I love Mattias’s and Josh’s music that they made for our game. ❤️ Give it a listen!
Once upon a time I made the soundtrack for the game Scrolls (later known as Caller's Bane), developed by Mojang, together with my friend Josh. While it never set the world on fire, I often return to those songs and go "huh, I was pretty decent at video game music": soundcloud.com/anosou/sets/...

Solargraphy 2023 (1): hillside behind an abandoned church.
11 month exposure, Jan-Dec.
Each line is the path of the sun for that day. You can spot when it was cloudy. The can shifted at some point in the year, creating those smears in the foreground.

I made an account here to join the exodus. It does remind me of early days Twitter, in a good way. But what do I post? It’s been a long time since I’ve been involved in indie games or jams. Work is mostly handled via other channels. Can I sustain an account with only pictures of my dog?
