I wasn't super interested in The Adventures of Elliot in the first place, but every time I see a comment about how stupid his name sounds in the title, my distaste for it grows. This is Elliot Moose all over again.

If you're following me for Tumble Rush, you probably like colourful pixel art games that would feel at home on a Game Boy Advance. If so, you absolutely owe it to yourself to play Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo! This game blew me away.

tfw you accidentally leave your ad campaign live with no money in the account, and a year later, you've built up just enough ad revenue that it automatically spends itself

(It's fine, it wasn't a huge amount of money -- I'm just happy to see more people playing Tumble Rush 😅)

I haven't been watching the numbers much, but apparently back in March, there was a sudden spike in people playing Tumble Rush in Indonesia. Wonder what happened! Neat to see people are still discovering it.

Oh hi everyone! Really gotta get my next game into a place where it's ready to show off so I have something to post about again.

Hi Brazilian folks! (I assume that's why I'm suddenly getting followers?) I should really try to post here more often.

If I never had to pick a time and date for an event again, I would be very happy.
Knowing that, I started a game company and am now ramping up a team for a future project where I will have more meetings than I've ever had in my life.
Why am I like this

Reminder that Unity recently blew $110 million after their model started serving faulty data to customers, and in a separate incident, took in bad data from a major customer that rendered part of their dataset unusable.

But hey, trust them, *this* data model is totally accurate!

I guess I should post something here!
I'm working on Tumble Rush, a mashup of a marble maze and an endless runner that you control by actually tilting your phone.
Here's the trailer, feat. music by the excellent @cosmicgem.bsky.social!
