I also scout indie games. Making something small and spooky? We should talk about it!

Here is some Halloween Blender practice—my friend gave me a list of 24 things I needed to include and I kinda think I nailed it. It’s like a spread out of an I Spy book 🎃

I made a game for the first ever #Jamsepticeye! It’s free, plays in a browser (or on your phone), and will most likely take you ten minutes to experience. Check it out! It’s about faking your death to pull off a heist. 🔗 👇 💰 💵 💴

I hadn’t spent any time in Blender this week, so here’s a small ceramics studio. This is a two part project and I’m too tired to tackle the second half today…

I lost a bet to my sister so I had to make a vampire video game. Tricks on her! I wanted an excuse to learn variables in GB Studio. This is the most complicated one of these I’ve worked on, so far (7 endings!). Check it out when you get the chance! It’s free. 🔗 👇
