I principally wear a programmer hat at Trinket Studios. Arguably I wear other hats there too, but they're tinier and sillier. Battle Suit Aces, Battle Chef Brigade, and a handful of other Unity tinkerings. he/him.

Battle Suit Aces is the cheapest it's ever been in celebration of our next big update! The Carrion Riders have joined the roguelite deckbuilder mode, including Byron, Latimer, a handful of minion cards, and their scorned flagship: the Devastator. store.steampowered.com/app/2870530/...

Hey yall, Slaughter Void launches today in just a few hours; it's a game that wasn't supposed to get this far, that @smeli.bsky.social and I made together for fun a couple years ago. It would mean the world if you checked it out. #indiedev #swordandsorcery store.steampowered.com/app/3333980/...

I pushed the button! Buy SOLARFLARE today, and tell me what difficulty you could clear, and how, so I can loudly congratulate you (and then maybe quietly nerf it a little bit). store.steampowered.com/app/3941030/... We have a cute #axolotl with goggles, maybe that helps? #pixelart #indiedev

File this under Unexpected Developer Adventures: I've been trying to figure out what everything in the Battle Suit Aces universe smells like. OVR just launched the Omara kickstarter so that you can smell space stations, frongs, and Pholian ruins. www.kickstarter.com/projects/oma...

I have spent a lot of the last 24 hours fixing UI layout problems in Battle Chef Brigade that only manifest when the screen aspect is tablet sized. I am not proud to admit this pattern is working well.

Ok, so King Bean is NOT supposed to be bouncing like this. But like... it kind of works? Ship it and call it a new feature?

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT...it's only FIVE days until Battle Suit Aces launches on PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch! 🤩 if you like mecha, queer found family stories that warm your heart, devastatingly beautiful anime-style characters, and addicting gameplay, check us out!
Byron from Battle Suit Aces is a tall man with prominent mutton chops that almost meet in a mustache. He has an abundance of chest hair peeking out from underneath his cut-up tank top. His expression is stern and his eyebrows are bushy. He is standing in red light and obscuring a mech behind him. The text he is facing toward reads "5 days until launch. Battle Suit Aces. October 7th, 2025".

Somewhat fitting that days before launch our build machine ran out of disk space. I guess I don't need those Battle Suit Aces (née Mech Trek) builds from February 2024... 😢

Yesterday I was testing the latest build of Battle Suit Aces at the kitchen table and my oldest kid, who was getting ready for grade school, asked what I was doing. I explained and she replied, unprompted, "You're the coolest dad". 😭 (she then also said, "remind people to wishlist it, dummy")

Unrelated to last post: Just had two keys from my keyboard simultaneously pop off as I was typing and I IMMEDIATELY got the same feeling you get from the dream where all your teeth start falling out. Surely a good omen.

In BSA's Hangar, we have per character offset/scale tweaks. Editing those tweaks involved finding a data prefab via the Project window, or invoking a convoluted debug shortcut to autoselect the prefab. Today I realized we can use the old school OnGUI to expose these tweaks when the card is selected.

Meet Hanako! USS Zephyr's dependable first officer, Hanako is always calm, composed, and confident, but she's an absolute ace behind the helm. Her professional nature (and fashion sense) can be intimidating, but don't mistake it for haughtiness. She always puts the team first.
An image of Hanako from Battle Suit Aces. She is a woman wearing a purple, white, and grey sci-fi top, black pants, and with her brown hair up.

A Trinket discord member asked if there was a Battle Chef Brigade dev log, which got me to re-read a bunch of the monthly Kickstarter updates I wrote. I got pretty nostalgic looking back at all that work! Here's a good example: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...
