I've thought a lot of why I moved away from social media and general online communication. I've realized that a lot of it is that capacity and connection is more important to me than what is really offered in many online spaces now.

@megacrit.com Design feedback for STS2: The first area shops shouldn't have items that the player would have no possibility of being able to purchase. If every path has a shop in the first 8 battles there's no way to purchase anything of value. It's a bad experience with many simple solutions.

I've been working on having a dynamic sky and fog system for a while and I'm finally starting to get it feeling good. I really love how this scene specifically turned out.

Life is fragile and long and way too fucking short. Love fiercely because time is undecided. Fuck cancer.

My dog doesn't understand how hard things are or how uncertain everything feels all the time. She's just happy to be asleep beside me and I'm so grateful for her.

Working on a mini game where the player rides a train up a mountain to the observatory and tries to find constellations in the sky. A lot of my effort recently has been to romanticize small moments in life in the game so things that many people can do in real life feel magical.

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore. More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

Being completely genuine, nothing in the world has ever crushed my spirit more than dealing with game publishers.

My game, Inn Between, is designed in a way that different gameplay styles influence how players reach the end of the game. I wanted to do this because I the concept of all roads leading to the same result fits the game but also I don't want to take away progress if people just want to focus on fun.

If any folks have resources for education in game level design, more specifically open world level design I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I've truly enjoyed the small ways I've been able to help Marc on Inn Between. What started as a way to work through some game design ideas after being tossed out into the gutter by the machine of the industry enough times, has flowered into a whole entire video game bursting with ideas and life.

I'd like to show you all my game Inn Between. It's a cozy game for people that are bad at cozy games. I've been working on it since November with the more recent help of @brylon.bsky.social and @elmore.zone and last month we finished the proof on concept. Excited to continue creating this.

Being away from making music for such a long time while I work on my game has been refreshing. I do have music that I want to share. However, I'm more focused on making worlds that that music can exist in.

Who is bad at cozy games? me. I love the idea and the onset experience of them but just as quickly fall into a trap of feeling limited and longing for more. Animal Crossing - Made it like 6 hours Stardew - Literally only fish Minecraft - I make a giant sky island and blow it up then uninstall

I've been developing my own game since November called "Inn Between". It's a cozy game for people that are bad at cozy games. Today, the demo is officially playable from start to finish and all three mini games are playable and our pitch deck is ready. Extremely proud and grateful.

The use of AI to create in any measure is to diminish what you wish to exist because you view it is not worth the time to learn. If the result is not worth your efforts than the result should not exist.

Today we took a look at the amazing #dubstep song “Thank You For Saving Me But I Wish You Didn’t” by @marcstraight.bsky.social & @itsxanthor.bsky.social This track is a wonderful combination of atmospheric synthy dubstep and a haunting spoken-word performance. m.youtube.com/shorts/9xwoV...

Hello, I'm Marc. This is my account. Please do not expect frequent or often replies to anything I post. I do not think the current state of social media is healthy and so I will only be a part of it when needed. I care about creating, so I will create. I will share updates occasionally. Thank you

It's been awhile since I showed progress on Inn Between. I'll try to change that soon. ♥

@ramiismail.com Hey Rami, I told you about my game about the hotel in purgatory last GDC when we were catching up and you mentioned wanting to see it when ready. The demo is almost completed and I wanted to know what the best way to send it to you is.

I've been really torn about this for a long time but I think I feel better about making my own games than I ever have about making sounds for someone elses game.

I don't use social media anymore but I wanted to show you all something I care about. I'm making a cozy adventure game about the space between life and death called Inn Between. I might update more about it on here. I might not. Either way, I hope everyone that I know here is doing well.
