Might be making an old-school FPS game in my spare time that I’m not working on Ruins Of Roguewood.
And yes, it’s relevant to Exfil.

Bit of a curveball-
Component Studio 2 is reaching the end of its life cycle, and while the 3rd iteration looks fantastic- I’m gonna need to do a ton of archiving, reformatting, and straight up ground-up reworks of some of my designs.
I know it’ll be worth it in the long run.

Hey #indiegamedev has anyone tried to do an old-school Doom-style texture master sheet in GDscript, but for detailed per-object normals?

Making something secret and special for my favorite time of year!
No info till I drop it later this month.
Also, I’ve been seriously neglecting YouTube… my bad. I have a personal agreement where I only wish to share something in its best state- I’ve been keeping my head down for the project’s sake.

OX ART REVEAL-
“Into The Ruins Of Roguewood”
I’ve been trying to capture the OG card game’s style and make it a bit stronger in presentation.
Obviously the focus here is to bring the adventure to the table as a cooperative experience, and I hope this fun cover piece helps to show that.

Strangely, I’ve found that one of the largest limiting factors of cooperative freedom in tabletop games is turn order.
Sometimes the best way to make other, intended limiting factors shine in a design is to do away with fixed turns.

I’ve always wanted to develop a free, evergreen print-and-play project that I can just add to whenever.
I have an idea that’ll fit the format perfectly, but I’ll have to focus on that after my current work.

Re-formatting Decked so I can get a cheaper bulk order and produce future booster packs easier.
Looking back on my old spreadsheets makes me feel like the first person to come across Valve’s terrifying spaghetti code for #TF2 metadata.
I hope I don’t delete my coconut png.
If you know you know.

Turned 23 today, and looking back I’m proud of everything I’ve done in my short time here.
Here’s to many more, and all the exciting things on the horizon.

Back in the swing of things with a new drawing tablet!
Working on two projects right now that are complete polar opposites, both in theme and play.

One of my personal goals is to meet @samlakewrites.bsky.social and do one of his classic synchronized Coffee-drinking bits, staring dead pan in the camera.
That’s how I’d know I’ve made it as an artist.

I’m in a major transitional period with my work, my methodology, and established projects. Exciting times- but keeping my focus up and head down in my work is more nessisary than ever.

Been thinking a lot about my short film from October.
Dead Letters was an idea I came up with as a combination of different inspirations. Vibes from old internet creepypasta and prose found in Steven King’s writing.
Vague, artsy premise and overly dramatic monologues reminiscent of nior stories.
