Expect dev logs, queer joy, nonsense, and maybe the occasional messy feeling. This is my only account. No alts, this is all of me.

I follow broadly, but don't repost NSFW
This is my absolute favorite costume I was ever a part of from a few years ago

@jamessmock.bsky.social as Crow, @seattledad.bsky.social as Mike, and myself as Tom Servo. So much fun.

Happy Halloween!!!

My #VHS effect for @gutterspace.bsky.social did not work EXACTLY how I wanted... but I'm still into it. What do you think, keep it? adjust it? toss it?

Our #Poetry collection is growing!

The #Gutterspace game has 11 poems in total (so far) and we now have 3 posted as coloring book pages in the collection.

Now back to regular #gamedev work.

Anyone put out a demo for their game recently? What the experience been like and what did you learn from it? Any tips? things to avoid?

We are going to start a limited demo of Gutterspace and I was curious.

Today I'm setting up tile maps in #Gutterspace.

...It's really a birthday gift to future Tom, who will now have a sustainable level construction process.

look what @jamessmock.bsky.social found outside! 😂

Possible #Gutterspace inspiration??? I could totally see a fab hearse becoming a summonable character in the game. Also, I love my city. 🖤

Starting the day with some good old-fashioned code cleanup in #Gutterspace. 🧹
Removing the last traces of our old dice system (RIP DCE 💀🎲)

In lieu of a related visual here is something @jamessmock.bsky.social drew!

Not the 'lava lamp' like motion I want yet... but good enough for a stopping point.
@jamessmock.bsky.social invented and hand-drew a really 🔥 character, and I want to do them justice.

Any guesses what this new #Gutterspace character might be?

Hint: I have no bones, I have no glass… just heat, motion, and sass.

Reveal coming later today (if it works 😅)

🎥✨ Just got Glowy's movement + basic FX working. They are one of the summonable allies tied to the poems in #Gutterspace.

More importantly did the core code for summoning. It's been a fun day!

Didn’t win the @blueoceangames.bsky.social #RisingTideChallenge, but Gutterspace lives on!
Just got couch co-op (wish we showed it in the trailer) working and finishing animating our first 'summon' James drew 👇

My partner @jamessmock.bsky.social was told this jacket was offensive... but in a post skibidi rizz world, what does anything really mean?

Just found out its #NationalPoetryMonth. At almost 40 I'm finally processing my childhood through poetry. So here we go! and thanks to @boston.gov for letting me know its poetry month!

This heart was created by @jamessmock.bsky.social for a game we were working on together, but it never made it in. So happy it found a new home in my latest project.
