I like videogames. I like playing videogames and making videogames and communities focused around videogames can be (but not always!) the very best people. I just wish the people who had the power and the money actually ever gave a shit about them too.

⛔Don’t mind the gap!⛔ Tenebrous Isle is yours to explore…as long as you’re willing to get creative! In Mina the Hollower (out now on all major platforms), you never need an item to progress, but don’t be afraid to use your brain and turn those obstacles into opportunities!🧠

My mom has been a Barbie collector all her life, so I was really happy to work on this game! The team at @digitaleclipse.bsky.social has been a pleasure to work with, especially when it comes to making top-notch pixel art for modern games!

Oh, hey, the "Shade Protocol" Kickstarter is live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lit... If you were one of those kids who *really* liked it when fan-artists drew Zero from "Mega Man X" as a girl but couldn't quite put your finger on why, this one's probably for you!

MINA IS OUT! 🐭 It hasn't sunk in yet. It's been a wild 6 years of dev and feels weird not waking up and going to my desk to pixel new sprites. Her adventure has finally come to a close for me so she could start a new one with all of you. From the bottom of my 8x8px heart--Thank You. 💟
