The last 2 months have been weird. - working out regularly - getting solid sleep - bought an EA game at launch - bought an extraction shooter - working a job that I constantly get thanked at 2025 made quite the turn toward the end, haha.

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job before starting my first big kid design job in over a year NEXT WEEK! I'm excited to be doing design work again, but even more excited to never set this alarm anymore. Here's to the last time waking up at 4:30am for work! #jobupdate #graphicdesign #newjob

Happy October! My schedule is about to smooth back out a bit meaning more game updates, more #pixelart, and possibly more streaming in the near future! In the meantime, have a sneak peak of the #kickstarter poster reward by @tinaisoladesign.bsky.social #gamedev #pixelartist #gamemaker #aseprite

Dang it :( This is the main thing I was worried about. I prefer closed weapons, as I'm a battlefield player through and through, but I believe a decision has to be made. How in the world are you going to balance weapons within two distinctly different structures... #bf6 #gaming #pcgaming #beta

CreativeWaste Studio | Making The Old One! @creativewaste.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Nope, I'm good. I loved the beta and I'm excited for the game but EA has to prove they can get it over the line first, and following up a wildly successful beta with "Yearly releases like CoD" is NOT the right call. Do better #EA... #dontpreorder #bf6

Working on a new character. This is not what I pictured when I started, and I assume it won't look like this when I'm done. Also got a ton of help from @grogdev.bsky.social today, adding #IMGUI to a new branch of the game for debugging. #pixelart #characterdesign #gamemaker #gamedev #aseprite

Does anybody else have a shitty super power? My super power is this. If my family is out of the house, for any amount of time, I can summon them back IMMEDIATELY by starting up a game or a show I want to experience after cleaning while the house is empty. #parenting #superpower

I've been exercising my creative muscles over the past week and I started DM'ing my first ever TTRPG campaign with some friends. Mentally dueling with some of the most creative people I know, while having a common goal in mind of crafting a compelling story is the best! #TTRPG #creative #story

I have a problem. I want to work on my game but I also want to play Destiny 2 with friends. But I also want to play Alan Wake 2 but my friends are playing Destiny 2. I know our ancestors had to choose which animal to hunt, balancing the work and the amount of food it would give, but this is tough.

I think for some people, it's hard for them to grasp why video games mean so much to many of us. They gave those of us who never won, a way to win. They gave those of us with no control in our lives, something that we COULD control. And that comfort saved me during a lonely and isolated childhood.

Made a new base spell animation today and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with it! I've been making a ton of progress this week. Can't wait to push into the new zone once this new combat is play tested. #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #animation #gamedesign #combat #TheOldOne

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If video games make you happy, keep playing. If they give you peace after a hard day, keep playing. If they help you feel emotions that you need to feel, keep playing. If you're having fun, KEEP PLAYING. Life is short. Do what makes you happy. Always. 💫

Yet another personal set back is trying to claw at the momentum I've kept going while building this game. Yet another interview process cut short with "moving forward with other candidates". Nearing 500 total applications sent out.
