I'm working on an action/puzzle platformer for the Playdate called The Ghost and the Tower! You are a slain assassin attempting to climb the cyberpunk Archangel Tower in order to find your killer and enact your revenge. At least, that's your initial plan—all is not as it seems. #playdate #indiedev

A large angelic statue looms overhead, with beams of light spilling down from the ceiling. Screenshot of a pixel art black-and-white video game. The player character, a ghost, is running outside in the rain on a series of metal platforms with a nighttime city skyline in the background. An automated turret is pointed in the player's direction.

Around and below the player are crates and a masked assassin, who is gripping a katana and running toward the player menacingly. Screenshot of a pixel art black-and-white video game. The player character, a ghost, is standing on the edge of a cliff in front of a bright mountainous landscape. On a higher cliff to the right, another ghost-like figure, almost a film negative of the player in appearance, is gazing down at the player. To the figure's side is a large disembodied eyeball with angel wings, hovering in place.

I have a new article up on Crossplay! After trying to make a video game with my 7-yo daughter, and stalling out, I grabbed Game Builder Garage on the Switch. I hoped it would inspire her to take a more active role in the process. Things did not go as planned. www.crossplay.news/p/making-a-v...
I Want to Make a Video Game With My Kid, But...Well, Everything Makes It Hard
Is it my fault for wanting more time to myself? Does my child not have enough patience? The answer, as is often with parenting, is there are no real answers.

A little (non-game related) pixel art, imagining a vacation home of sorts. Created in Pixaki.

Ok, since original animated GIFs are still a no-go, let’s pivot to video. Here’s a little animation I made recently with some fun CC-0 audio 😀

Hello Blue Sky, I am ready for THE FUTURE
Animated pixel art of a woman standing in front of a futuristic city with tall buildings and flying cars. The sun rises and sets in a continuous cycle as her visor flashes rainbow colors.
