This one has done some what absurdly well across platforms. I'm very happy people are excited for the game and I'm really hoping the thing we're cooking up will live up to expectations. I'm trying very hard to make sure we're giving people what they want but also doing something new and cool....

Warming up my HYPERBEAT skills for #AGDQ2027 submissions, and I just fell into FCing the final two OG tracks that have been out of my reach! There's a bunch of new songs now, but it's really cool to have finally completed my initial goal. Guess I have another goal now!

This is very real. It was only way later as an adult that I learned of a whole bunch of coping mechanisms, half of which I learned I had essentially reinvented from first priciples through years of struggle. It's crazy how little ADHD was actually explained, I hope the kids nowadays have it better

I know this is some raw ass earnestness, but I *did* kinda "make some art about it". Very early in finding the artstyle for HYPERBEAT, the JWST star was always prominent. I'm a big space lover, and this little star makes me feel like we aren't *completely* fucked. It's a symbol of trying our best.

It is fascinating the ways in which the defraction spikes of a big tube in space has so shaped our shared cultural vision of "what a star is". To me, the spikey asterisks of the JWST represent a future where we *CAN* do better. It's hope, man. It feels like we need hope more than ever nowadays.

This is, truly, a tragedy. But I come to you with a ray of hope... an new star: the beautiful 6 (or 8) points of JWST. Just as Hubble once opened our eyes to the heavens above with 4 pointed masterpieces, so too has James Webb brought a new longing in the hearts of man for the 6 pointed beyond.

I record in OBS, do the chroma keying in Davinci Resolve with a Corridor Key plugin. I do a lot of cutting and clip selection in Davinci, then export to a big png sequence, and import that into Krita as an animation. That's where I do the filters, cleanup, and animating.
