Hey! My month long social media break was almost a year long. How've you been? My partner and I have been working on a new game and the Steam page just went live! I'd love to hear what you think. I'm going to try to be more social again :) store.steampowered.com/app/4717800/...

A cool thing we added to Spirit Crossing recently is ✨emissive clothing ✨! All in game clothing is dye-able (with the exception of a few very special items), but there's a set of Mythic dyes that give your outfit glowing neon details and it's been really fun to see players be creative with it!

my approach to community work is so deeply rooted in wanting to know how everything works so i can provide the most accessible explanations to all parties. i feel like a tinkerer. a little learning gremlin. it's really cool working with teams who are so immediately responsive and supportive of it.

We're so excited to bring Camp Spirit to Steam! If the world is feeling overwhelming right now (understandably...) this game is a beautiful space to spend an hour a day to let your mind rest a bit. Also, look at @yuemi22.bsky.social's gorgeous art. 🤩 #IndieGameDev #Steam

Camp Spirit is coming to Steam!! Super proud of this weird dead bear game; hope that players who loved the first game will find a familiar home and new players will be dreadfully delighted by our mixture of cozy fishing, emotional story telling, and institutional negligence.

surprise!! Cozy Grove was such an emotional title for me years before I ever joined the Foxes, so I'm really happy we get to bring its sequel to more people now.

one time in peak season I was operating a Spider amusement park ride at full speed when what I thought was rain started pouring down on my ride, but it was a family of raccoons in the pavilion netting peeing in unison

Strange Scaffold @strangescaffold.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
Episode 8 of The Strange Scaffold Cool Things Club, our podcast, is OUT NOW! This month @writnelson.bsky.social, Candace and @chrisslight.bsky.social are joined by @composerkirk.bsky.social to discuss 👹 The Devil's Game ☕ Ziltoid The Omniscient 🧤 May I Ask For One Final Thing? 🏙️ Kairosoft Games
The cover image for The Strange Scaffold Cool Things Club. It features the Strange Scaffold Logo, which is a cube held up by, surprisingly, some scaffolding that adds a strange connection to the shape. The cube is now made of wood with moss and small planets growing on it. A sleeping rabbit sits on the top right corner, while a cute little bird looks down from the top left. A fox sits in the bottom left, smiling. There are also the logos for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon Music.The text art the top of this square says "This Month..." and features pictures representing the Cool Things discussed on the show this month. Top left you see the poster for the Netflix show The Devil's Plan, which shows multiple contenstants looking towards the camera as dice fall around them. To the right of that is a screenshot from the Kairosoft game Dream Town Story, which features a pixel art city and a piece of text that says "James Shan got a treasure! They now have 58!". Below that is the album cover for Ziltoid the Omniscient, which features a Skeksis like creature wearing a cape, holding a cup of coffee and pointing a finger to the air as if he is making a point. This is drawn like a comic book. And to the left of that is a screenshot from the anime May I Ask For One Final Thing? This image features a person in a red dress, wearing studded leather gloves, punching a suited man in the face. People behind them are shocked but this guy totally deserves it.

Working on the next Strange Scaffold Newsletter (which you can subscribe to over on strangescaffold.com) reminded me that in the last one (written by the amazing @christapaolucci.com) I wrote segment that it made sense for me to make this image.

do any of you have a particular "game that got you into indie game dev" that's like.. not super well-known?? I credit this little weirdo heavily for pushing me toward game dev as a fixation

I know a fair share of streamers/tubers follow me – you should reach out to Christa if you’ve been curious about Spirit Crossing, the cozy online life sim where you can catch charming critters such as this rare angry goopy poop pig

I've made financial decisions that cannot be unmade
a screenshot from the game Palia showcasing the exterior of a house with a player-character standing outside. the player is facing away, wearing an animal-themed backpack. they're surrounded by a garden with growing plants, giant rainbow plushies, and even bigger plushies floating in the air like they're at a plushie-themed theme park.

Eh fuck it, I'll shoot my shot. If you need someone to helm voiceover for your project, I pretty much do it all: casting actors, directing recording sessions, helping navigate agencies/unions/etc, you name it. 100% "damn this voice acting's awesome" rate 😊

I interviewed Roblox's head of parental advocacy for Vulture about safety on the platform 👀
Quote: "I agree with you. I hear you. I don’t think they need to get past anything. I think they need to do critical thinking. Look at what the articles say. The fact is they may have spoken to this person or met them [on Roblox], but then they were coerced. They went off to a different platform. It reminds me of, a few years ago, there were two young British school girls who went off to fight for ISIS. They were taken away.
Bad actors, extremism, all of these things—they’re out there looking for our children. They’re out there looking for our children in shopping malls, school yards. Online is kind of the same thing. We have to be vigilant in all of these areas. I just refuse to put it 100% on parents, which is why we do have the parent council to listen to parents’ concerns. It’s really important to hear what parents have to say and to say, “OK, I get it right now. You’re not feeling [like we’re] very trustworthy. We’re going to gain your trust back.”
Talk to your children. Play with them, and you will see what this game is about, what the platform is about."
