1 week after launch and we are over 25k plays! Wow, this is crazy. Thanks guys!
Game started as a simple concept. What if the N64 had online play? One thing led to another, and this is where we landed.
Much appreciate all the support so far!

Getting so close! I caved to player feedback and it took a year to address it.
They wanted progression
They wanted upgrades
They wanted things to customize
They wanted pets, so many times they said they wanted pets.
I'm nearly on the cusp of implementing all this. Whew.

The only hour of "free" time I have each day I use for game dev instead.
Issues that normally take a day to solve take me over a week at this rate. Been an extreme test of patience over the last 1.5 years.
Almost out the other side though! Channeled hunger of my early days.💪

20 years since I launched a game completely of my own creation...
Next month that finally changes with the launch of The Duck King on Roblox!
I don't know how I let time get away from me, but one thing is certain, I'm never stopping.
It's never too late to do what you love.

There's a troubling secret about Roblox games that allow you to "auto play" them...
These games get 💰 from Roblox whether you are at your device or not. They are taking advantage of you.
We want to make games that must be actively played and reward players who actively play! 😄

GTA VI will go down as the biggest flop in video game history…
1. GTA to compete with with Roblox and Fortnite, but at a $100+ price tag?
2. GTA V’s UGC was organic. Now it’s a wacky gaming playground?
3. Heavy on the sexualized marketing. Trying way too hard, seems off?

It's all really coming together now. Nearly a year and a half of dev starting to pay off. It has not been an easy road.
Thank you to everyone who has followed me on this journey. Only getting started. 💪

My dad had just died two weeks prior, and this album came out.
It was the moment everything turned for me. The group didn’t last much beyond this, which makes it all more surreal.
Inverse is a much recommended group for anyone in need of healing

Announcing our newest addition to TDK!
"Auras" to help rescue ducklings throughout the land.
Our first 4 Auras are:
💜Speed Boost
💜Fly/Glide
💜Jump Power
💜Climb
The catch? You can only equip one at a time, so you must choose wisely. 🤔
Stay tuned. Much more to show off soon!

Listened to this album on repeat before my career in games.
Nothing to lose. No money. No health insurance. No car. No connections. Nowhere to go.
Now I have everything to lose, so I throw this 🔥🔥🔥back on in preparation for the next mountain.

2025 marks my 25th year making video games. Wow...
The industry is falling apart, not because people don't want games, because studios stopped caring.
That is why I created @empathgames.bsky.social, to simply create games that truly care about players again!
