#deltarunech5 #weirdroute seeing that talk sprite for the first time freaked me the fuck out. It's been seared into my brain and I needed to draw it.

hi there! you're probably wondering where the hell i've been! and that's totally fair, i sure did drop off the face of the earth after releasing the SAGE 2025 demo of Thunder Edge. so, long story short, i burnt out pretty hard after releasing that demo. (1/3)

(cont.) the idea of working on Thunder Edge after releasing the demo felt like a daunting ordeal for me, and on top of a lot of crazy life stuff happening, i just haven't had the time to do any form of game dev stuff, so development kinda went into super development hell/unintended hiatus. (2/3)

Sorry, Thunder Edge is furry now. I don't make the rules. Commission for @gleamoria.bsky.social as a character from @drgnbeauty.sapphirefla.me's Thunder Edge. #furryart #furry #spongemagicart #myart

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.

hi everyone! i haven't spoken about my game Amazing Treasure Valley much in a while. i am still making it! here's a small airport i just redecorated. Jean Jetbird can carry you to new places in the valley.

a character with a blue lightning bolt for a head and yellow eyes stood next to a red airport hangar in a small airfield. nearby is a radar tower, a two planes, and a NPC named Jean Jetbird who resembles a plane herself

For the last post of 2024, here's a preview for how the sprite of this experimental unit will look. Hopefully will have it animated soon next year! This enemy can teleport either herself or her individual limbs to attack from diverse angles and make defense more difficult. #pixelart #gamedev

A red haired cyborg woman with a ponytail. Has mechanical limbs that can be detached from her main body and be teleported to attack independently from her.

She appears to be in a floating pose.

Cave Story being 20 years old is wild. The influence that game had on indie games is MASSIVE. I certainly wouldn't be working in games if I never played it back in high school.

This game influenced my character design, my storytelling, my music. Even the name "UNDER TALE" sounds very similar to "CAVE STORY"... If you haven't played it, you should. You can play the original version for free! www.cavestory.org/download/cav...

i should probably explain my absence over the past month or so, oops. so, i've hit a pretty nasty case of burnout recently. that, combined with me preparing for a massive move from texas to new jersey is, a lot! so, it hasn't left me much time to work on thunder edge.
