I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

i think art is good, and i think recognizing when artists are doing something new and weird is also good.
here's me losing my shit about fake video games for nearly 2 hours

Man... I love the psx demo discs so much. These exposed me to so many great games as a kid. Let's bring these back.
One day I'm going to make my own compilation of demos, put em on physical discs, and hand em out at cons or something. One day.........

More work from my backlog, and a personal favorite bc this was my first ever attempt at any sort of character design. The intended platform for this render was IG, which lets you pair stuff with music, so since cant do that here imagine Health is playing lol

Five years ago I solo developed a game called 'Hypnagogia'; a surreal LSD-like exploration game based on a dream journal I kept at the time.
It helped put me on the map as a micro-indie and made me realize just how much enjoyment I got out of making simple games.

I've prioritized idiosyncratic floating-cursor aiming in Nightshift over generic rotation-based aiming to allow fixed-cameras and other "curated" arcade-style experiences, differentiating from generic shooters and feeling more "shmuppy".

The final post-jam update for our 2025 ShroomJam submission is now live 👽
Lots of improvements and polish, a full scoring/timing/ranking system, and playable for free in-browser. No one will ever be able to get an S rank, but you can try 😏

it's a lite immersive sim with tightly interconnected levels, a melee combat system based on positioning and counterattacks, and almost a hundred cosmetics to unlock.
you can get it on Steam, and play the demo there as well.

Are gifs not working for anyone else on itchio? Only ones I'm seeing that work are game thumbnails. Everything else uploads as a static image.
