We released a new podcast episode on the run-based magic of Oregon Trail and how it may have led to other design ideas we see today. Give it a listen if you're into this classic game and/or typhoid fever www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fba...

Here's a silly game I made in 2 days for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam. You're a slob who's supposed to be watching over a missile silo. The countdown has started, and you gotta clean it up for the rocket the only way you know how: with firepower! #godot #indiegames cheeseoncheese.itch.io/unscheduled-...

In July 2025, I left my job to focus on game dev. Since then: - clocked ~1,000 hours across 7 different game prototypes - learned a hell of a lot - found a bunch of game dev friends - made $0, but had the time of my life In 2026, I hope to keep growing and release some cool projects #indiegamedev

I needed a break this weekend, so I cooked up a little incremental game prototype where you build a data center, ruin the world, and doom humanity with AGI #godot #indiegamedev

✨ I just published a brand-new post! It’s about the notorious SVG <path> element. With its compact Regex-style syntax, <path> can be super intimidating. But they’re also *incredibly* powerful, letting us draw (and animate!) curved lines. You can read it here, and I’ll share more info in thread. 🧵

Working on a logbook concept for my logic puzzle game, ZebraTables. This can give players additional context for clues they are unfamiliar with. Did you know that it ain't a corndog if it ain't on a stick?

I finally hooked up a CI/CD pipeline for a personal project. I can push iterative changes to GitHub pages thyancey.github.io/zebratables/, or use GitHub releases to push baked builds to my AWS hosted zebratables.com!
