Had a nice conversation with bsky.app/profile/thee... about BIG HOPS! Pretty sure this is the deepest look at my game design & story philosophy out there, if that's your thing.

If you’re unfamiliar with Bandcamp Friday, it’s a day when Bandcamp waives their revenue share of sales, so artists take a much larger cut of the profits than usual. It’s a wonderful way to support musicians!

“There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics.” ICE did this. Trump did this. Republicans did this. “Centrist” Democrats who have caved on anti-immigrant bullshit for years did this. Abolish ICE. That’s the minimum.

In his 2019 memoir The Threat, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe quotes first-term Trump saying Venezuela was “the country we should be going to war with, they have all that oil and they’re right on our back door.” zeteo.com/p/venezuela-...

Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

Finishing out my winter break with another Art Institute of Chicago sketch visit. This one is “Matar Dolorosa” from the Workshop of Dieric Bouts. This black and white sketch doesn’t do her justice, but I had a worthwhile time on this one.

A drawing study of Mater Dolorosa. A woman looking sad, staring into the middle distance, probably mourning someone close to her.

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong. Wherever in the world it happens. You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer? I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

Spreading my wings a little bit more with hand-writing UI shaders in Unity. I WOULD feel bad about how hacky this process is if only Unity's docs were in better shape. 😅 The additional work here is invisible, but I can't help but do another post showing "pRoGrEsS". Making a game in UGUI is wild. 😸🧶

Expanding on a recent jam game (Smash The Oligarchy), and focusing on animation and vfx (card damage and destruction). This kinda work can be pretty satisfying. :) #gamedev #vfx #screenshotsaturday #sundayIsCloseEnough

As someone who doesn't have full ADHD, but definitely feels like it from time to time, this realization was transformative for me. Once I started understanding how my brain can fight against me, I started working with it on that level, and I saw improvement I didn't know was possible.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

Just finished the demo for this and holy cow is it the real deal. Gameplay is fun and crunchy and there is SO MUCH incredible art packed into it. I also like that it makes you keep adding new things to your deck. I wonder how the full game is gonna deal with deck bloat/pruning later on.
