It has been a long, long road finishing this project, but MORSE, my strategy game that teaches telegraphy, finally releases on Steam November 11th. To those who've waited, thank you for your patience. #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games #indiedev

My experience of Avowed so far: "OH MY GOD WHATS WITH YOUR MONSTER FACE? 😱" I'm expecting a lot of spicy Kai art.

In case you missed it yesterday we released this pack of over 400 sprites for use in your puzzles games, 100% free for commercial use! chequered.ink/puzzle-games... #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

A preview image showing eight animal face sprites: rabbit, owl, frog, fox, pig, bat, badger and squirrel.

Then 8 different coloured balls, several colored polyominoes, a mine sweeper mine with two red flags sticking out of it, and on the right hand side are some blocks and a paddle arranged to look like a block breaking game.

Think I've got everyone beat for the highest anomaly jump in STALKER 2. That's uh...1.3 million miles?...

I was watching an IGN video from a few years ago with gameplay programmers from Half Life 2 reacting to a speedrun. It's incredibly entertaining. I hope there's more of this type of content of devs reacting to busted speedruns.

Finished STALKER 2 last night. Even with the couple or issues I had, it kept me absolutely hooked for almost 70 hours and that was with a focus on the main story with some side quest content. It's just huge. Will replay again in the future after a couple more patches or DLC if they do it.

Do I buy this hoodie and set off every 3D artist I run into with the absolute state of this topology? 🤔

Tried STALKER 2 on a set of surroundsound headphones instead of ny TV audio and this game needs to sweep every single audio award in existence like what the fuck.

Imagine me casually browsing this app, liking cool art and having a vape while this madness went down. 12 Ward soldiers vs 2 Bloodsuckers.. Mutants won. I fucking love this game.

I could barely contain my excitement opening my fridge and remembering I'd bought 12 cans of Starbucks doubleshot yesterday. God bless Costco 🙏

Plan today is more Stalker 2. Even though it's got a load of issues, I can't put the game down. Something so alluring about it.

So Dearh Stranding huh? Think I'm near the end and wow. I cant remember the last time I got so obsessed with a long game like this. Ive found myself mostly sticking to stuff I can play in short bursts. This has just been a hyperfixation.

Started Death Stranding last night. What an intriguing game so far. Seeing it in real-time on a console hits differently than trailers. Its stunning. Visual design, tone and music all compliments to create a really unique experience.

Kind reminder to whoever wants to get a promotion to lead or director role: These roles aren't about control, they're about responsibility. If you think being in a role of responsibility is about control over decision making you are self-selecting yourself out of the equation until you learn this.

New ALIEN fan art! "BREACH!" Wasn't planned as a key art, was just messing with shapes and it turned into this. Enjoy! #xenovember

Here's a model kit I made a while back and 3D Printed. Was testing a program called MagicaCSG at the time.

Some other #3Dprinting models from Destiny 2. I did the Calus Mini-tool for a friend of mine. Raid banner looks sick next to my other printed guardians. Submission and Midnight Coup need further work to make printable.
