Blade @bladebarringer.com · 24/09/2026When I was a kid, it was renting Chrono Trigger from the video store and playing a New Game+ someone else had unlocked without any idea what that meant. I went years without being an active gamer, but played Deltarune and reminded myself that not only do I love games, but I want to make games too 040
Blade @bladebarringer.com · 19/08/2026Made a silly game with my kids over the weekend. It’s about one of my kid’s stuffed animals, and the lore they’ve built around it. He wants to eat you.
