I’m Rob. I play video games, then I make slightly worse versions of them.

If that sounds cool, play them here: http://pixelpun.com

Pinned
This was pinned on my X account, so I wanted to pin it here also.

One of the best game jams on Itch, it's really nice to use someone else's assets so you can focus on pure game design, it's the whole reason I joined, also the Kenney assets are awesome.

I always try to finish up old projects in December for some reason. This one has been on my plate for a long time. Just a remake of one of my first games. I did come in 3rd place at Ludum Dare 29 for my artwork in this one.

I'm not sure if I'll use it or not, but I really like the chain physics, if I can add it to NEXIFY in a way that would work I think it looks better then what I had before.

I'm decent at pixel art, but for some reason I find the 1-bit types really hard to create myself, I think it's why I love the Kenney 1-bit pack.

I'm trying to add my own art on top of what Kenney did for my game, but I'm doing a terrible job at it :P

I might end up just combining, idk :/

I think it's time we use AI for what it was actually meant for.

Bringing back the glory days of the Sega CD and 3DO with hokey full motion video for video games :D

The possibilities are endless.

I really like making cool transitions between the title screen and starting the game, I think this was one of my better attempts.

Although he does sorta drop like a rock :P

New website is coming along :) First time I'll have a cohesive look to everything in a long time.

Pretty trash. I had over 3k followers on #X. All I did was post about my video games, and I rarely posted to begin with.

I traveled from South Korea where I live, to the USA, while in the USA I bought a new iphone and traded in my old one, apparently this pinged my account as "inauthentic"

My only goal when making Between Two Worlds was for people to play it and have fun... It was very neat that someone made a video playing it :)

Dear Princess a cozy game about writing a nice letter to a sick princess. The first cozy game I have ever attempted to make. Was a fun little project, although I did miss on it looking like an NES game :P More like an SNES game

I've used @construct.net to enter two Kenney Game jams with more then 1000 entries, in 2024 I came in 3rd, and in 2025 I came in 2nd for my game SparkNoid

You can do some CRAZY things with Construct :D

I really want to make a spiritual successor to the 3DO game Immercenary...

I feel like with AI video it could be done :P I just don't know if I have the patience for it.

But would be cool, it's an idea :P

Idk, I had about 3000 followers over in X before my account got banned for being "inauthentic" for simply traveling to the USA from South Korea.

But the engagement here on BlueSky is like 10x better then it was on X for game dev stuff.

For a game jam a few years back I made a game about when I was a chip delivery driver, except this time I was going on a rampage :P I tried to do it in the style of a Lethal Enforcers game from the 90s.

Was such a bad job, lol

I really love handheld gaming, it's probably my favorite way to play games. I realized I put controller support into my game SparkNoid and I could just play it on my AYN Thor 😄

First real big change I'm making from the original game is to make the antagonist fly around the level to troll you as you are trying to complete the puzzles. Before he sorta sat in the corner.

Well I'm on BlueSky now, for some reason X banned my account for being "Inauthentic" cause I traveled from South Korea where I live to the USA... lol

Reading about it online seems it's pretty hard if not impossible to get it back, pretty dumb.
