A few days ago, one of you lovely humans out there decided to give me my first game sale ever(!), paying for what could have been their free copy of Awaken 2nd Edition on my itch page. Thank you so much! Highly encouraging, for sure.

Some time last year I made a 22 minute "mix" insipred by 90s breakbeat tapes sampling the SIGNALIS OST. I never really intended to do anything with it, but stumbled upon it yesterday and thought it's still pretty cool. Full thing is now on my Youtube channel ❤️ much love

Here's one of the new sounds I made yesterday. I'm 100% going to work this into a track. My buddy put it over a clip of Daimajin for me. I think it works really well.

We who are self publishing our games need to put all our important updates in one place. I'm trying to make that place here:

Let me know if you want to be added to the list that powers that feed, and you can use #majorupdate to add your updates and others.

I could not take it anymore. I've purchased and will play Caves of Qud. The things I see/hear/read are just too insane not to give it a go.

I want to do something to help indie game visibility, especially for those that choose to self publish
So here's the plan: I made a list of self published indies. I'll add people to this
It will power a feed, of only MAJOR updates for your game. Releases, demos, sales, updates, etc
