i’ve been playing drums for a while now, but never really got into jazz drumming. my limb independence is shit so it’s about time i start practicing. the brush is there so that the cymbal isn’t audible across the whole apartment building. maybe i might document how it goes, maybe not idk
A two-piece drum kit, a snare and a kick, both muffled and equipped with Remo Silentstroke drum heads. A wooden drumstick and a drum brush for the left and right hand respectively rest on the snare drum. Above the snare is a 21-inch ride cymbal.

Having to use an automated idea generator in the games industry is so deeply embarrassing. What do you mean you struggled to come up with ideas? That's like the most abundant resource imaginable. You can't take a step without colliding with an ideas guy. Why would THAT be what you need help with?

my favorite thing that happened in the last month has been the supermarket’s archaic coffee machine finally breaking down and getting replaced with the new sleek wonderful machine that fills the cup properly to the top. me and my friends were overjoyed the whole week. nature is healing.

Was flipping through my design bible/diary where I document my learnings on making art and witnessing this wonderful page - this was supposed to be a week-long practice project (i ended up spending 7 months on this game)
A page from a notebook of mine. A screenshot of my game printed on paper is attached to the page with tape. Underneath it, the extremely erroneous statement “week-long project” is forever etched into a history I will never live down

moon jellyfish... my beloved #gamedev #indiedev #psx #art #screenshotsaturday
Lisa-Ann Gershwin's Jellyfish: A Natural History, opened to a page about Moon Jellyfish. My hand is pointing at an image of said jellyfish.A screenshot of my game, showing a bloom of Moon Jellyfish. A pixelated, low-poly PSX style is characteristic here.

2026 is a slow start for me, but it feels more like firing up a large engine that will then steamroll on with no stopping. Lots of bad things happening in the world that make me itch to create art, so that I can begin to stomach it.

was pondering this for a while but i’ve been playing pathologic 2 recently and that game pulls off ludonarrative cohesion so well that this never ends up being an issue

A new upcoming bonitāka game: hate.net
hello everyone! I've been hard at work putting together a new game - it's called hate.net ! It's a first-person movement shooter set in a game server overrun by bots . I don't want to reveal too much....

I'm making an arena FPS set in an abandoned combat chatroom overrun by bots (think social media if it let you duke it out with weapons instead). Work in progress of course, but I like the way it's been shaping up :) #gamedev #indiedev #psx #devlog #gamedevelopment
